Uncover Missed Talent Pools, Improve Diversity

Organisations should do more to recruit and develop the skills of those who are often restricted from realising their full potential – such as people with disabilities, veterans and ex-offenders. In this report, Criticaleye's HRD Retreat 2023 Partner, Accenture, shares the benefits of hiring ‘hidden workers’ for closing skills gaps and building better companies.
 
Key takeaways include:
  • There are several categories of hidden workers, including people who have health issues, gaps in their employment histories and are from disadvantaged backgrounds.
  • Companies that hire many hidden workers have seen a 58 percent improvement in attendance, as opposed to a 35 percent attendance in companies that do not hire hidden workers.
  • Executives cited that the most common reason for hiring hidden workers was to help close skills gaps.
