• From the minds at Mercer: Find out why workforce resilience depends on talent intelligence Talent scarcity, shifting skills demands, rising burnout risk and AI disruption are now business issues, not simply HR concerns.

CEOs and CHROs must elevate talent from an HR process to enterprise infrastructure governed with the same rigor as financial capital.
