Employee Expectations in 2024: How to Navigate Workforce Trends

Today, The Workplace explores the insights from PwC's Workforce Hopes and Fears 2024 report, which surveyed 19,500 workers across the Asia Pacific region, including 1,500 from Malaysia. As the pace of change in workplaces accelerate, employees are feeling the pressure, with nearly 70% worldwide report feeling overwhelmed by transformation. In Malaysia, 75% of workers have experienced unprecedented changes in the past year, and while job security remains a concern, there's a growing focus on skills development and adapting to new technologies.

We speak with Mohammad Iesa Morshidi, Director of Workforce Management at PwC Malaysia, to unpack the report's key findings. We explore how business leaders can navigate the challenges of employee engagement, foster innovation, and leverage emerging technologies like Generative AI to build a resilient, future-ready workforce.
