- Comprehensive analysis of the megatrends across Trade,
Technology, Weather and Workforce driving increased volatility and
complexity
- Report provides actionable insights to enable clients to make
better risk and people decisions
DUBLIN, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global
professional services firm, today released the 2024 Client
Trends Report: Better Decisions in Trade, Technology, Weather and
Workforce.
In this new analysis, leaders across Aon's Risk Capital and
Human Capital capabilities reflect on the profound transitions – or
megatrends – driving increased volatility and complexity for the
firm's clients and opportunities to protect and grow their
businesses. The four client megatrends highlighted in the firm's
comprehensive analysis – Trade, Technology, Weather and Workforce –
are all interrelated requiring new strategies to address
enterprise-wide risks.
"Every day, our clients across every industry and region tell us
that it's getting harder to make the right decisions amidst the
volatility and complexity created by these megatrends," said
Eric Andersen, president
of Aon. "Trade is becoming more regional and supply chains are
evolving, clients are trying to manage weather risk, technology and
AI are affecting our clients and their businesses and workforce
behaviors and expectations are shifting. This is why we introduced
our 3x3 Plan to go further, faster to accelerate our Aon United
strategy and bring actionable analytic insight, globally integrated
expertise and locally relevant solutions to help them act now on
Risk and People issues and make decisions with clarity and
confidence."
The report offers a deep dive into the four client megatrends,
covering:
- Trade: The lifeblood of the global economy is the
ability for commerce to flow freely. But due to its breadth and
scope, it unsurprisingly faces several significant challenges —
often interconnected and mutually reinforcing — including
geopolitical instability, inflation, climate change, currency
fluctuations and people availability.
- Technology: Developments in technology have helped
organizations unleash operational efficiencies, connect workforces
and foster growth. Yet, these advancements have also exposed
companies to new and evolving risks, such as AI-powered tools
powering the workforce while creating new exposures to
fraud and data security.
- Weather: As the frequency and severity of natural
disasters and extreme weather are increasing, significant economic
and social impacts are heightening the need for action. While
navigating increasing regulations and geopolitical nuances,
businesses need access to enhanced data and analytics, climate
modeling and industry collaboration to drive meaningful and
coordinated progress.
- Workforce: The inability to attract and retain talent
remains one of the most immediate and impactful risks companies
face. Striking the balance in managing costs while maintaining a
compelling employee experience is critical to success.

2024, Aon will release the results of a new executive survey

this report.
