Leading in a new way
With the current pace of change and uncertainty, there is an increased need to improve leadership capability. Leaders are now required to understand the bigger picture and prepare their workforce for uncertainty. A people centred approach that role models learning, is open to other solutions, empowers employees and demonstrates an inclusive approach will be a foundation of future success.
Leading in a digital world
When it comes to technology, our profession must embed the principles of transparency and ethical use, and ensure digitalisation boosts equality, autonomy and good job design. Close attention can ensure we minimise any negative impact of digitalisation on employee behaviour, the organisation’s culture, and physical and mental health.
Skills and learning
We need increased investment in new skills and learning opportunities to build sustainable people practices and jobs for the future. The pace of change is driving new ways of learning, an emphasis on transitional skills, a focus on development to retain and future-proof employees.
Wellbeing
While delivering on business strategy, the people strategy must have compassion at its heart. Building employee resilience, promoting flexible inclusive ways of working and supporting health, wellbeing and a culture based on psychological safety are key to success.
