The high cost of living, the looming recession, the ongoing effects of quiet quitting, the Great Resignation, the unstable political scene\u2026 Each of these events and their impacts need to be carefully considered by organisations. Those who thought they could just whip out their 2022 strategy and slap a new label on it could be in for a difficult year ahead!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are, of course, very different challenges to handle, but also several fresh new opportunities that could propel innovative businesses forward.

There are many ways to use the technology to optimise operations. Whilst we know that nothing can replace the human element of HR, innovative HRDs should think of ways for AI to take over the more mundane tasks, so the team can focus on being there for staff. This could include account set ups, generating documentation, matching people\u2019s skills to available training opportunities or setting up chatbots to answer the more basic employee queries. This way, HR teams can dedicate their time to looking after your people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe&#8217;re already seeing HR teams of all sizes use AI in everyday processes, and I think that&#8217;s only going to grow as the tools and potential of AI software grow in 2023.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/wendy-makinson-46a79784\">Wendy Makinson<\/a>, HR Manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joloda.com\/\">Joloda Hydraroll<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"diversity\">#2 HR trend &#8211; Even more emphasis on equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&amp;I)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we\u2019ve been talking about ED&amp;I for some time now. And we\u2019re not about to stop! The basic level of effort demonstrated by many organisations will no longer be sufficient as we move into the new year. Workplaces need to be positive, safe environments for everyone, and businesses will need to future-proof themselves through diversity in order to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cChanges to the hiring process, the onboarding process, the training, and upskilling programs in order for them to be accommodating of all the candidates&#8217; needs ensure that the HR department achieves DEI at the organization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/%E6%B0%B8%E6%98%8E-%E5%AE%8B-53b590248\/?trk=public-profile-join-page\">Yongming Song<\/a>, CEO, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livepolls.app\/\">Live Poll for Slides<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"careers\">#3 HR trend &#8211; Career development as a key retention tool&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We already know that career opportunities can be a great retention lever for employees. This is more relevant than ever as resignations are set to continue beyond the Great Resignation. It is much cheaper to upskill current employees than to recruit new ones, and HRDs are expected to go further than before when it comes to staff career development. HR departments need to show employees the art of the possible, and empower them so they can grab those progression opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cEmployees want to work for a company that is invested in their future and will help them grow their careers. Employers, meanwhile, need to fill skill gaps without the costs and hassle of hiring. Upskilling, reskilling, leadership coaching, mentorship, and other forms of employee development can address both points (&#8230;).\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/matterhard\/\">Matt Erhard<\/a>, Managing Partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/summitsearchgroup.com\/\">Summit Search Group<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insights.letstalktalent.co.uk\/en\/download-your-career-planning-whitepaper\">Download our free career planning whitepaper<\/a> for some additional tips and advice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"breakout cta-simple-image no-overlay has-offwhite-background-color has-blue-border\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row flex-row z-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 has-offblack-color\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/career-planning-whitepaper.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"Career Planning Whitepaper\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/career-planning-whitepaper.jpg 529w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/career-planning-whitepaper-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/career-planning-whitepaper-307x180.jpg 307w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vert-cent-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vert-cent txt-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has-large-font-size mont-semi has-offblack-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload our <blue>Career Planning Whitepaper<\/blue> and reach your potential\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-medium-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t<a href=\"https:\/\/insights.letstalktalent.co.uk\/download-your-career-planning-whitepaper\" class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blue-background-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t<span class=\"has-offwhite-color\">Download your copy now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recruitment\">#4 HR trend &#8211; Driving down recruitment costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of living is hitting hard, and the looming recession isn\u2019t going to help matters. Employees everywhere will soon start to ask for salary increases and bonus opportunities to better their financial situations and keep up with inflation. Businesses looking to save money will explore ways to drive down costs, and recruitment is the obvious choice. Optimising and streamlining current processes to generate efficiency will be an essential tool to keep the bottom line healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wellbeing\">#5 HR trend &#8211; A personalised approach to employee wellbeing&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Craig Howell, Associate at Let\u2019s Talk Talent: <em>\u201cTired, overworked and burnt out are descriptors we are all likely to hear much more often in 2023.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People have experienced several personal challenges and crises over the past year, and the media is painting a fairly gloomy picture of the future. HRDs everywhere will need to make their staff\u2019s wellbeing their number one priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIn 2023, HR departments across the globe are taking a more thoughtful approach to employee wellness. Instead of simply offering a few surface-level benefits, HR teams are now taking the time to deeply consider employee wellbeing and implement individualized approaches. This could include offering flexible work hours, providing mental health resources, or creating a culture of open communication. By taking a more thoughtful approach to employee wellness, HR teams are showing their commitment to the well-being of their employees and creating a more positive and productive workplace.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/grace-he-22237b11\/\">Grace He<\/a>, People &amp; Culture Director, <a href=\"https:\/\/teambuilding.com\">teambuilding.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/blog\/self-care-and-wellbeing-tips-for-hr-professionals-over-the-summer-break\/\">a few wellbeing tips from our team<\/a> to yours for inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"transparency\">#6 HR trend &#8211; Transparency when it comes to pay&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone are the days of woolly pay increase or promotion criteria leaving staff feeling frustrated and undervalued.

Remote working, hybrid, task-based work modes\u2026 This will remain a top priority in 2023. Employees\u2019 lifestyles, preferences and work requirements are continually evolving, and so HR teams must also continue to work on creating amazing employee experiences. HRDs should regularly review their operating model to determine it is still fit for purpose, benchmark themselves against the rest of the market and find ways to delight their employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#9 HR trend &#8211; Keeping employee data safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hear it in the news every day: data breaches, and ransomware attacks are becoming more and more common. HR departments hold a lot of sensitive personal data, from addresses to bank details and national insurance numbers. Strengthening security systems and keeping this data safe should be of paramount importance in the current context.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make these trends actionable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As HRD your role will usually be top level and steering the ship.
