Top 3 HR trends to expect in 2023
The new year brings with it new trends for the field of Human Resources, which continues its digital transformation process.
1. All-in-One Software
Currently, Human Resources professionals still dedicate a significant amount of their time to bureaucratic tasks and manual analyses, which consume a large portion of their work hours. An all-in-one HR management solution will help automate all processes, ensuring that all stakeholders interact with the same platform, eliminating the need for redundant data collection and formatting. Only preliminary work is required in implementing the system, defining the necessary outputs, keeping in mind the data needed for management, legal compliance, and company operations, leaving the data collection, analysis, and data merging to the software.
In an all-in-one HR management solution, it will be possible, for example, to automatically calculate and assign vacation quotas to each employee, taking into account their date of hire, balances from the previous year, and more. Through the same software, employees can submit their vacation requests, and supervisors can approve them based on pre-configured rules in the solution. With the automation of all phases of the process and the sharing of information among different stakeholders, HR can dedicate more time to what truly matters: the people.
2. Flexible Work Model
Various forms of work arrangements have been a growing trend since 2020. Workers are increasingly seeking a flexible work model that allows them to balance their professional and personal lives, often through the possibility of remote work, either in full or part-time.
This new reality in the world of work requires HR to implement new and different processes that ensure the normal functioning of the company and its teams. It is, therefore, important to provide tools that allow for:
- Telework planning
- Real-time tracking of employees working remotely
- Telework schedule
- Remote clock-in/clock-out
- Monitoring of allocated telework days
3. Well-being and Communication
Remote work and hybrid work arrangements have a significant impact on interpersonal relationships among employees and with the company.
According to the 2022 Work Trend Index, employees who maintain good relationships with their team reported better well-being, increased productivity, and a lower likelihood of changing jobs in the next year. It is, therefore, essential to bridge the distance and promote working relationships by ensuring constant, quick, and easy communication.
The Self-Service Portals of the EXPERT Solution provide an environment that gathers all relevant information related to employee data and serves as a communication channel between the employee and their supervisor.
In the employee’s Self-Service Portal dashboard, there is also a dedicated area for the company to communicate with employees through messages in animation, video, and image formats.
