• As a tumultuous and challenging 2020 is now
  firmly behind us, its time to look forward to
  the year ahead and the 4 biggest new trends in HR
  that are set to change the way we work over the
  coming months
• 1.Remote working
• Having employees work from home was a boom for
  some small businesses, and as its a trend that
  isnt set to go away anytime soon, what
  challenges it does present, must be tackled. HR
  leaders and other professionals must try to adopt
  new infrastructure and programs to ensure
  productivity and increase efficiency, and its
  predicted that clear guidelines will be
  introduced this year.

• 2.The use of big data
• Accurate and real-time employee data has never
  been more important, and people analytics is a
  growing, global trend in the arena of HR.
  Discovering how employees perform and what
  influences their productivity and motivations, is
  made so much easier using such big data, and can
  give powerful insights surrounding performance,
  hiring trends and attrition, to name but a few.
  Those HR professionals with the appropriate
  technology will be able to give themselves a
  competitive edge.

• 3.Cross-functional work strategies embraced
• With the common goal of business continuity, HR
  professionals need to unite people with different
  functional expertise enabling more ideas to be
  generated, innovative business solutions to be
  created and new skills to be gained. In return,
  employee engagement will be boosted thanks to the
  introduction of new behaviors, and a sense of
  team spirit or comradery.

• 4.Mental wellbeing programs
• Mental health and awareness surrounding it has
  improved tenfold in recent years, and with
  physical and mental health going hand in hand,
  employees and employers are seeking ways to help
  others take care of their mental health in the
  workplace. A fantastically positive trend, this
  should be leveraged by all HR leaders.

• Upcoming challenges
• Having done its best to disrupt the methods HR
  leaders typically use to deliver a positive
  employee experience, the pandemic has presented a
  whole host of challenges over the past year or
  more, and forced HR teams to rethink their
  processes and procedures. Thankfully, with
  digital infrastructure evolving and improving
  constantly, HR leaders have many resources at
  their fingertips, to help them tackle the
  challenges and make a shift in the policies and
  tools they use to manage employees.
