Since 2022, GLLG CEO Glenn Llopis has interviewed many of Puerto Rico’s top executives and emerging leaders about pressing human capital trends that are affecting organizational growth. Topics like workforce shortages, challenges in attracting and retaining top talent, business interruptions, and increased competition highlight an urgent need for Puerto Rico’s leaders and organizations to reinvent their approach to human capital, considering the associated risks to the island’s economy and growth strategies.
The need for human capital reinvention becomes even more concerning when considering the insightful and alarming report from CRECE (Centro Para Renovacion Economica, Crecimiento y Excelencia) titled, Freedom to Prosper in Puerto Rico. This report highlights concerns regarding Puerto Rico’s next generation labor force, a rapidly aging population, and an urgent need for innovation, among other pressing issues.
Human capital concerns are not only creating new business growth challenges but are also heightening work wellbeing risks. Workforce stress and instability are weakening the labor market and economic vitality. The lack of innovative human capital strategies further threatens economic stability and growth, with slow progress impeding competitiveness and long-term prosperity. In light of Puerto Rico’s zero-sum game economy, these challenges present an urgent opportunity for transformation. This situation also places added pressure on Puerto Rico's healthcare delivery system, which is already dealing with significant limitations.
“Glenn’s coaching, consulting and overall teachings encapsulates the essence of why an organization’s people strategy should be their business strategy. Glenn sharpened what I solve for as a leader, to rediscover the possibilities in my team and to witness firsthand the importance of self-directed reinvention. The overall experience was enlightening and had a profound impact on my leadership journey.”
"Glenn's profound insights are a powerful catalyst for personal and professional reinvention, empowering individuals to achieve their highest aspirations with lasting impact."

Puerto Rico’s leaders must rapidly move from substitution to evolution. But this requires leaders and organizations on the island who desire the skills, have the will to shift their mindset, and are ready to break free from the inertia that keeps pulling them away from what they aim to achieve.
“The balance of power has shifted to employees, patients, and students. It is critical for the survival of our organizations that leaders recognize this dramatic shift. Glenn’s teachings will help you stay in business. A much-needed primer for both experienced and emerging leaders who understand the urgency of navigating the new realities of leadership in the age of personalization.”
According to GLLG’s comprehensive data analytics, combined with insights from Indeed’s Work Wellbeing Survey (analyzed by the University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre) and PwC’s Finding Opportunity in Reinvention Survey, the answer is clear: to reinvent with personalization, we must focus on both.

In other words, both the environment and the individual hold equal value in achieving sustainable growth.
