HR professionals are faced with the challenges posed by Generation Y’s new attitudes towards work, the reduced number of full-time employees and the pressure to provide quick solutions in an increasingly fast-paced and unpredictable business environment.
Among the main trends observed in the market are more flexibility at work, the possibility to design one’s own work, open and continuous feedback and diversified career models.
In the future, employees will work for more than one employer at a time – this according to studies by leading consulting firms such as McKinsey and PWC. The challenge for HR will be to efficiently manage this landscape of differentiated careers.
Global mobility will become increasingly important. Assignments will shift to short-term projects. There will be more cross-border commuters, living and working in different countries.
HR will become fully digital, not only in terms of applications and technologies, but also in the way big data will be used to understand the workforce. HR departments will work with other companies as part of a network, e.g. to recruit and share talent.
Lifestyle incentives, flexible hours and smart working will become increasingly important.
Bonus policy will lose its value, and a shift from individual bonuses to team and company bonuses will be preferred.
