HR's work is everevolving. With the advent of technology and digitalisation in HR, we witnessed how rapid changes developed into cutting-edge trends. When the pandemic drove an overhaul of the workplace, we saw once-niche practices blossom into a sweeping new normal.
Being proactive and understanding these shifts is critical. Their impact is not just today, as even now they are not fully integrated into the world of work. We will continue to see changes, challenges, friction, and opportunities in the upcoming year and beyond, as organisations come to grips with these trends and incorporate them into the workplace and working culture.
Here, we highlight eight significant trends that have shaped HR's work throughout 2022 and will continue to do so in the coming year.
1.The hybrid model of working
Most bosses hated it at first, and wanted everyone back in the office. But over the course of 2022, a successful balance emerged between working from home and returning to the office. Leaders and managers grew to understand the value of a flexible working model, whether in terms of time and location; employees began to accept the benefits of being in the office every so often.
And HR departments, of course, became more wellversed in the creation and implementation of hybrid strategies that could meet the needs of all employees, including potential hires. From the purely administrative details, to awareness of the legal and regulatory requirements, and most importantly the culture that would enable a productive and engaging working model.
2. DEI as a top priority
