What's New in HR in 2023

HR professionals have had to deal with numerous changes over the past few years. With the rise of remote work, HR professionals have found new ways to navigate employee demands to best serve their business. As we enter 2023, HR professionals should be on the lookout for the following trends and changes we predict will occur throughout this year. 

Increased Demand for Remote/Hybrid Work Schedules 

Whether you love it or hate it, remote work might be here to stay for some companies. Employees are looking to maintain a flexible schedule to help maximize their work-life balance. HR professionals should expect that in 2023, this trend will continue. If a fully remote option is not available for your organization, consider exploring a hybrid schedule.

Emphasis on Workplace Well-being 

Yet another trend originally brought on by the pandemic, workplace well-being will remain a top priority for HR professionals in 2023. HR should continue exploring ways to help cultivate a healthy workplace environment and find ways to support the well-being of their employees. Consider implementing a mental health screening survey such as Kokomo FORMS™ to help keep track of employee responses on their mental health.  

Company Outreach and Purpose 

The past few years have shown that social issues are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Employers are no exception to this. Workers are looking to see what purpose a company has and they want their organization to speak out on important social issues. HR professionals should make sure their company supports the causes that are most important to its workers. 

Competitive Benefits 

Despite talk of a looming recession, the labor market continues to be tight. This means that employees have the power to be selective with where they choose to work. In addition to competitive wages, employees are looking for companies that offer comprehensive benefits to supplement their compensation. HR professionals should evaluate company benefit policies to ensure that they will attract the top talent for open positions. 

No matter what industry your company serves, make sure to pay attention to these trends in HR to help retain employees and attract top talent for your open positions. These trends are sure to be seen throughout this year and will influence HR operations moving forward.
