DUBLIN, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc [https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4417539-1&h=2985871732&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aon.com%2F&a=Aon+plc] , a leading global professional services firm, today released its Client Trends 2025 [https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4417539-1&h=3779419239&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aon.com%2Fen%2Finsights%2Fclient-trends&a=Client+Trends+2025] report, which features new insights about the interconnectedness of four megatrends - Trade, Technology, Weather and Workforce - driving complexity, volatility and uncertainty for business and society.
"The megatrends of Trade, Technology, Weather and Workforce are creating unprecedented challenges for business leaders, who risk decision paralysis when urgent action is needed," said Greg Case, president and CEO of Aon. "The interconnectedness of these trends means that leaders need access to integrated data and analytics, capabilities and expertise to effectively respond to increasingly linked risk and people issues."
Aon's Client Trends 2025 report draws on the firm's Risk Capital and Human Capital expertise to offer a fresh perspective on how these trends intersect and impact decision making. The analysis looks at specific connection points between the trends, including with:
-- Trade and Technology: The intersection of Technology and Trade are
fuelling innovation that will deliver much-needed efficiencies in global
supply chains. However, with new technology comes significant risks that
must be properly managed. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a vital
role in helping move global trade through increasingly complex
regulatory challenges, trade laws, privacy regulations and threats from
cyber attacks and potential global trade wars.
-- Technology and Workforce: The integration of AI within human resources
functions is reshaping job roles and skill requirements across
industries. Organizations are increasingly utilizing AI to optimize
processes like talent acquisition and employee engagement. This shift
not only enhances efficiency but focuses on upskilling employees to work
alongside AI. As companies work to capitalize upon this transformation,
are evolving their workforce with the necessary technical and
maintaining critical human oversight to drive innovation and effective
decision-making.
-- Weather and Workforce: Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent
and costly. According to Aon's 2025 Climate and Catastrophe Insight
report

rt&a=2025+Climate+and+Catastrophe+Insight+report], global economic
losses in 2024 amounted to $368 billion. At the same time, employers are
more concerned than ever about employee wellbeing, retention and
productivity. Employees who work outside face health risks from
heatwaves, air quality implications from wildfires and more. Not only
can weather events affect employee's physical health, their emotional
and financial wellbeing may also be at risk.
-- Weather and Trade: The effects of climate volatility on global trade is
another growing risk. This was starkly illustrated by the severe
flooding in Spain and its impact on the automotive industry in 2024.
Flooding disrupted production and logistics, highlighting the
interconnectedness of supply chains and the financial risks posed by
extreme weather events. In response, clients are integrating climate
risk assessments into their strategic planning and developing
diversified supply chains. By understanding and anticipating the impacts
of weather-related disruptions, organizations are enhancing their
resilience and protecting their trade operations in an increasingly
unpredictable environment.
