Are your talent and career strategies built for today’s workforce — or yesterday’s?

Employees want more — more purpose, more connection, more growth. But while expectations have evolved, many organisations are still relying on outdated playbooks.

Right Management’s new report, “The Career Equation: What Attracts Talent Isn’t What Keeps Them,” reveals profound disconnects between leaders and employees — gaps with serious implications for effectively executing critical talent strategies.

Drawing on global research, this report uncovers what truly motivates employees and sustains careers — and what’s quietly undermining both.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why many leaders fall for the Engagement Illusion— and how to see what’s really happening on their teams
• How the Talent Paradox explains why pay, perks and prestige attract talent — but don’t make them stay
• Regional insights into what matters most to employees worldwide
• Data-backed strategies HR leaders must do now to close the gap between perception and reality and build a more loyal, resilient workforce

As the first instalment in our 2025 The State of Careers series, “The Career Equation” will equip HR and business leaders with actionable, data-driven insights to help people grow and organizations thrive.
