Technology
Technology has become one of the most impactful trends that have over the years revolutionised how HR operates, in all businesses. Technology has changed the way that businesses offer services, how they communicate and how employees are recruited.

Generational changes
Since the 1950s, different generations have inhabited the workplace. These groups of employees had different needs and expectations in terms of job performance, well-being and satisfaction. These different needs have influenced HR management in businesses over time.

Appreciation of complexity
Due to the fierce competition in the world of business, understanding the complexities in an organization – such as the percentage of internal successors as well as the voluntary turnover of the business – is critical to producing results. This helps to appreciate every individual business’ complexity and its human behaviors.

Inclusive leadership & professional development
In the modern age, employees’ expectations are high. Employees expect leaders to do more. This is also articulated by the various stakeholders in the organization. With the employees having a higher expectation from their leaders, the company’s performance may be faulted if the management is not performing.

Employee branding & global recruitment
This is another trend that is affecting many, if not all businesses. In order to attract the best talent and retain them in the organisation; the organisation is looking for ways to keep their employees motivated by taking stock of their employer’s brand. These are qualities and attributes that set the employers aside from others.

Establishing work-life balance as the norm
Due to overall tougher economic times, people are working more in this decade than ever before. This has caused friction to develop between work life and personal life and consequently, a considerable number of employees are reporting burnouts across the western world.
"Teams with inclusive leaders are 17% more likely to report that they are high performing, 20% more likely to say they make high-quality decisions, and 29% more likely to report behaving collaboratively."
