The world is changing rapidly and organizations need to keep up with these changes if they are to be successful in the long term. And that includes adapting to new trends that are hitting the market at an ever-increasing speed.
In my view, Artificial Intelligence is the ball of the hour. Yeah, she’s coming to revolutionize different types of professions. And with HR it will be no different either.
In this article I have separated some points that I believe will be trends for people leaders this year. Just check it out!
Focus on the employee experience
The employee experience is increasingly important for companies, as it is a way to retain employees and increase their satisfaction and motivation.
Some tips for improving it include providing opportunities for development, ensuring a culture of respect and support, and providing fair benefits and compensation.
As much as the theme is not new, it is gaining the spotlight, even more after the mass layoffs observed in the last month.
Adoption of digital technologies
Technology is changing the way companies manage their employees. And this in virtually every sense and in every department.
The adoption of digital technologies such as talent management software, training platforms and artificial intelligence will help companies automate routine tasks and gain valuable insights about their employees.
Flexibility in the workplace
With the pandemic, many managers have discovered that their employees can work effectively from anywhere. For some, it seems like rain in the wet, but, incredible as it may seem, there are still many leaders who are reluctant to work remotely.
However, each year that passes, working from home is proving to be more efficient and beneficial not only for the company but also for its employees.
Therefore, flexibility in the workplace will be a growing trend in 2023 as the pursuit will focus on increasing employee satisfaction and reducing costs.
Diversity and inclusion
Another trend I can’t help but talk about is diversity and inclusion, which are increasingly important for companies of all sizes.
This includes gender diversity, race, sexual orientation, ability, and more. Organizations that embrace this cause will be seen as differentiated and will have a competitive advantage in the market.
I still remember when Magazine Luiza created the first trainee selection process just for blacks and browns. At first the decision was controversial. Today, many people already see that this is the only way to make leadership positions more inclusive.
People-Centered Leadership
Last but not least, I have to talk about people-centered leadership. She focuses on helping employees develop and reach their full potential.
This includes providing feedback, support and opportunities for growth. I emphasize here that people-centered leaders tend to have more engaged and motivated teams.
Therefore, what I see is that it will be necessary to invest in technology and artificial intelligence, but without leaving humanism aside. Do you agree?
