The rise of the social enterprise

2018 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends

The 2018 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends report showcases a profound shift facing business leaders worldwide: The rapid rise of what we call the social enterprise. This shift reflects the growing importance of social capital in shaping an organization’s purpose, guiding its relationships with stakeholders and influencing its ultimate success or failure.

What is a social enterprise? A social enterprise is an organization whose mission combines revenue growth and profitmaking with the need to respect and support its environment and stakeholder network. This includes listening to, investing in, and actively managing the trends that are shaping today’s world. It is an organization that shoulders its responsibility to be a good citizen (both inside and outside the organization), serving as a role model for its peers and promoting a high degree of collaboration at every level of the organization.

Anticipating and matching skills needs

Thumbnail

Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.

Matching skills to labour market demand requires reliable sectoral and occupational information and institutions that connect employers with training providers.  Sector based strategies and institutions have proved effective in engaging all stakeholders in promoting both pre-employment training and life-long learning.

It draws on the European Commission’s comprehensive sectoral analysis of emerging competencies and economic activities conducted in 2008–2009 in cooperation with Eurofound. For this background paper, Eurofound has highlighted results that are of particular relevance for Latvia.

Part of a series of forward-looking sector studies on New Skills and New Jobs Skills and jobs are of vital importance for the future of the European economy and have recently gained increasing attention, both at national and EU level. As stressed by the European Council in March 2008, investing in people and modernising labour markets is one of the four priority areas of the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs. The New Skills for New Jobs initiative launched in December 2008 (European Commission, 2008) elaborates on how this could best be done. While the main focus of the study is on the future of skills and jobs by 2020, the study is both backward- and forward-looking in nature. It analyses recent relevant sector developments and trends and, at the same time, depicts the current state of play in the sector with an emphasis on innovation, skills and jobs.

The health and social services sector skills plan is a “roadmap” to address skills development priorities in the sector. It focuses on profiling the sector, identifying skills in demand, analysing supply side education and training provision, determining skills priorities and putting together an action plan for improving the skills profile of the workforce. The SSP serves as a guiding framework for the NTA, employers, trade unions, training providers, public entities, civil society, international partners and local communities to spell out the priorities for up skilling workers in the H&SS sector.
