Have your People Priorities and Challenges Changed?

The news headlines regularly highlight skills shortages and escalating pay inflation and the great resignation.  Many businesses have successfully introduced new flexible benefits like hybrid working, whilst others want teams back in the office.

Globally the top 7 People Priorities for 2022 are listed as follows.

1. Developing detailed strategic reward and workforce supply plans
2. Continuing to invest in the health and wellbeing of the workforce
3. Focusing on skills and progression & providing genuine career and pay progression opportunities
4. Continued focus on diversity, equality, inclusion and fairness
5. Develop new forms of employee communications and engaging managers
6. Reporting better data and evidence to justify and demonstrate progress
7. Re-uniting and re-engaging our disrupted and often exhausted workforces
