The field of human resources (HR) – planning, staffing, rewarding and developing talent for today’s thriving businesses – is evolving. In HR topics such as hiring, hybrid and remote work, recruiting, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and employee engagement, the change has been so rapid that many HR professionals have had to re-learn them as business adapts. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of 8 HR trends we think you’ll likely see in 2023.
A 2017 study from the University of California Riverside suggests that corporate wellness programs can boost employee productivity and satisfaction by empowering them to take care of their health in a way that fits their busy lives.
As existing and new employees expect high-quality healthcare, wellness and retirement plans for themselves and their families, we can likely expect employers to continue providing them in 2023. This could also expand to affordable childcare for parents who are returning to the office. In 2023, look for employers who are offering flexible childcare benefits, providing critical help to parents while potentially giving themselves a competitive edge in hiring, according to SHRM.
Also, keep an eye out for outside-the-box ideas in paid time off (PTO) policies in 2023. Some employers are responding to employee requests to expand PTO to include an extra day off to visit the doctor, a paid holiday (that doesn’t count against vacation time) for an employee to celebrate his or her birthday and time off to attend children’s events.
