The field of Human Resources took initiative these last 2 years in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, mitigating a wide range of internal and external pressures. Whether the need was implementing new workforce models, or monitoring employee wellbeing, HR leaders adapted, pioneered and thrived despite all odds being stacked against them. Even so, the field experienced many challenges, some of which came without any ‘handbook’ to forge ahead.
According to research conducted by industry professionals, studies have shown that:
- People want to work for organisations with whom they have well-aligned cultural values
- Employers who assist and guide employees on a more ‘personal’ level, regarding their life goals and expectation, are seeing a 20% improvement in the mental and physical health of their workers.
- Of organisations with a standard 40-hour work week, below 40% of employees are ‘high performing’ workers.
- Companies need to prioritise reskilling their existing workforce fast enough to meet their changing needs.
- Organisations have faced work-from-home (WFH) and hybrid working. However, there is a growing concern regarding what happens next.
