This HR Director’s Briefing Paper offers senior HR leaders an accessible compendium of the trends and influences that will shape their activities in 2024 and beyond. In this paper, eight expert contributors – including business leaders, academics, HR practitioners and more – provide their analysis of the complex challenges that businesses will need to navigate in the coming years.
Collectively, these articles outline an uncertain future and extensive change which businesses will need to navigate and prepare for – whether that’s the emergence of a low growth world, the AI-driven technological revolution, or a changing legislative environment and social agenda requiring companies to do more around topics such as pay transparency or employee wellbeing.
This document aims to help you make sense of these upcoming challenges and changes; whilst reading the briefing, we invite you to consider how you are preparing your organisation and its people for the coming months and years. We will also expand further on these topics in the 2024 CRF and PARC programmes, which are both outlined at the end of the document.
