Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic discusses how HR leaders can embrace a blended workforce, leverage AI and adopt skills-based hiring for organisational agility – and what that means for strategic workforce planning.
The idea of a single workforce under one roof, tied to full-time contracts and conventional 9-to-5 hours, is fast becoming obsolete. By 2025 nearly 40% of the global workforce could be freelance or contingent, according to Gartner. In Europe alone 90% of the six million highly skilled freelancers report no intention of returning to traditional employment, says Eurostat. This is not a passing trend or a post-pandemic adjustment, however. It is a seismic and permanent shift.
At The HR Leaders Club event last month, organised by The People Space in partnership with Matrix Workforce Management Solutions, these issues were brought into sharp focus during an in-depth discussion led by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, professor of business psychology at University College London and Columbia University and an international authority in people analytics, talent management, leadership development and the human-AI interface.
“The expectation of what people expect to get from work has changed, and expectations have risen massively,” he said, capturing the shift that has left organisations grappling with how to attract, integrate and retain talent in this more flexible world of work.
However, as Roger Clements, chief growth officer at Matrix, says, there is still a lack of understanding across HR as to the impact the blended workforce will have on strategic workforce planning.

This transformation is not optional. It is a necessary response to the realities of the modern labour market. The question is not whether organisations will adapt but how quickly they can do so. For those ready to lead the charge the rewards will be significant: a more flexible, diverse and effective workforce ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow
