2022 US Global Tax Market Assessment

This webinar, part of an annual series, explores five major trends impacting corporate tax departments in 2022. Key topics discussed include:

• The captive labor pool for US tax professionals and its impact on hiring
• Demographic shifts, including baby boomer retirements and their effect on tax leadership
• ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) pressures, particularly focused on diversity in tax teams
• Remote work's influence on permanent and interim staffing
• Salary and title inflation in the tax market

The speakers emphasize the importance of educating HR and finance leadership about the unique challenges in tax recruitment and retention. They discuss strategies for addressing talent shortages, including creative approaches to diversity hiring, succession planning, and adapting to remote work trends.

The webinar also touches on the increasing competition for tax talent due to newly created departments from SPACs and spinoffs, as well as the challenges of retaining top performers in a candidate-driven market.

Throughout the session, the presenters stress the need for proactive communication with team members, the value of internship programs, and the importance of staying competitive with compensation and work arrangements.

This webinar serves as a valuable resource for tax leaders navigating the complex and rapidly changing talent landscape in the US tax market.
