Designing Mobility to Better Navigate Change, Disruption, and Volatility in 2025

In a recent Work Shift newsletter from Bloomberg, Andrew Challenger of the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. noted that one factor behind the recent wave of CEO turnover may be a “pent-up demand for change.” This sentiment echoes the broader environment we find ourselves in—where the "pace of change" is widely considered to be at an all-time high. Rapid advancements in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence, are disrupting industries at an unprecedented rate. Organizations and individuals alike face mounting pressure to adapt and learn constantly to stay ahead of evolving trends and market demands. This “faster than ever” rate of change is impacting everything from business operations to societal norms and even personal lives.

Looking ahead to 2025, HR leaders are identifying several critical priorities: navigating disruption, adapting to change, finding efficiencies, improving productivity, and embracing innovation. One of the most significant predicted trends over the next year is the focus on workforce change readiness. Companies are shifting from reluctantly reacting to change to proactively preparing for it. The goal for 2025 is to provide employees with the tools, skills, and processes needed to make quick decisions, adapt with agility, and embrace change confidently. This will likely involve investing in specialized programs that empower employees to thrive during periods of uncertainty and transformation.

For mobility programs, aligning with these 2025 business goals begins now. This is the year to embrace change fully. Mobility programs that adapt will empower mobile employees, stakeholders, and the organization as a whole to better navigate the complexities of a dynamic world. Think of it like a football game—2025 will be the year of the “audible.” Quick, last-second changes are inevitable, but they don’t have to be chaotic. By enabling employees to adjust swiftly and efficiently, organizations can improve their overall change readiness. Systems must support rapid adjustments, provide multiple options, and foster decision-making that empowers employees while optimizing resources.
