Future Trends: The top trends according to SHRM's HR subject matter expert panels
Source: Society for Human Resource Management
Normally, we use this space in our newsletter to bring you valuable information on the latest trends in the Human Resource field, written by one of our expert consultants or staff members.
This month, however, we would like to feature an excellent article recently published by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). The HR Group even used this article as the basis for our annual strategic planning retreat.
This article is a compilation of trends and forecasts made by 12 SHRM Special Expertise Panels. Though the panels vary widely in the subject matter they cover and many of the trends in their lists reflect these differences, they also have some overlap, indicating that some broader trends are influencing many aspects of HR and the workplace simultaneously.
Some of these broader trends include:
- The impact of the global recession on business strategy and employees.
- The influence of social networking, especially as it relates to recruiting.
- The continuing importance of work/life balance as employees deal with multiple caring responsibilities and, in some cases, multiple paid jobs.
- The need for measurement of results and the development and standardization of key HR metrics.
- The growing need for organizations to demonstrate a commitment to ethics, sustainability and social responsibility.
- Safety issues, particularly workplace aggression and the potential impact of a global disease pandemic.
- The importance of globalization and integrating markets.
- Continued emphasis on performance management.
- The ongoing need for skilled employees and concerns about the ability of the U.S. education system to produce the needed skilled workers of the future.
- Demographic change and its impact on diversity and labor availability.
- The implications of government legislation.
