Looking to hire more employees but can’t find any? There’s a chance they might be hidden.

Recent research by Accenture and Harvard Business School found that there are more than 27 million people who want to work but who face barriers that keep them “hidden” from potential employers. The barriers vary and can include everything from gaps on resumes, to physical or mental health challenges, or family responsibilities.

A new interactive experience by UKG and Accenture looks at different scenarios that illustrate how the right workforce management solution can empower organizations to provide the flexibility and resources that once-hidden-workers need to actively participate in the workforce.
