CEO Outlook
“Everyone’s worried about the risks of a recession — not just a mild recession but a hard landing later in the year,” Marsh McLennan President and CEO John Doyle told Bloomberg TV. “Things look OK right now but it’s quite obvious that central banks’ top priority is tamping down inflation and that’s going to have an impact.”

The Need for Talent
The Yahoo Finance team sat down with Mercer CEO Martine Ferland to discuss the future of work, mental health support in the workplace and talent needs. On overhiring in the tech industry, she noted, "There are a lot of companies that are not tech companies that need tech workers. So it'll be interesting to see how this washes out."

Antsy Gen Zs
John Romeo, Head of the Oliver Wyman Forum, writes in the Telegraph about Gen Z’s place in the workplace. "Don’t assume this generation will turn into their parents as they age," he explains. "Two years of research by the Oliver Wyman Forum and The News Movement convince us this extraordinarily diverse group won’t."

Meet The Leader
Mercer CEO Martine Ferland was invited into the WEF podcast booth for a talk about work trends and how companies can improve employees’ lives. Her “Meet the Leader” episode is expected to air as part of a wrapup package post-meeting. The fortnightly podcast features the world’s top changemakers, showcasing the habits and traits effective leaders can’t work without.

On the Ground
“The mood is somber,” Oliver Wyman CEO Nick Studer told the Wall Street Journal, comparing this year to his past experiences at the WEF Annual Meeting. “At the same time," he said, "you’ve got a lot of people hoping that the US and the UK environment—if it’s recessionary—is either short or shallow.”
