The world of work in the last decade has been shaped by the economic crisis, the rapid development of technologies and the emergence of a new generation of workers with completely different ideas about work compared to previous generations.
According to a survey of the world's largest association of HR managers, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the biggest HR challenge for companies ten years ago was corporate succession planning and leadership development. Today, employers perceive the growing competition for skilled workers in the labour market as the biggest challenge.
Workplaces have become much more focused on employees and their individual needs, and this trend will continue. HR of the next decade will focus more on performance and productivity.
