The seven trends HR should be aware of in 2023

In this episode Chris speaks to Gary Stringer, from HowNow, about an article he has written on the Seven HR Trends to Win 2023. In it Gary tells us about the top trends HR can take advantage of to start the next year strong:

  1. Listening more (and show it is)
  2. Performance management
  3. Settling on flexible working arrangements that work for everyone
  4. Re-emphasising company culture’s role and importance
  5. Onboarding and an end to job description catfishing
  6. Wellbeing 
  7. Skills development

Listen now to learn more about why they think these trends are worth taking note of for next year.
