WEC’s Social Impact Report 2025, Ageless Talent: How the HR Services Industry Empowers Every Generation, draws on global data, expert insights, and real-life stories to show how the HR services industry is proving that generational diversity is not a source of tension but a foundation for resilience, innovation, and growth.

Key findings from the report include:

• Labour Market Diagnosis: Four trends are affecting workforce dynamics, from the demographic drift and skills shortfall to digital disruption and the elusive economy.
• HR Services as Catalysts for Change: The HR services industry has been stepping up, from a provider of talent solutions to a strategic partner helping organisations navigate this complexity and turn generational diversity into a competitive advantage.
• Solutions for Every Generation: From youth apprenticeship programmes to mid-career reskilling and mature worker reintegration, the HR services industry offers solutions that empower and unlock the potential of every generation in the workforce.

WEC’s Social Impact Report 2025 largely draws on extensive research, data, and insights provided by Lightcast and Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA).
