It’s HR Trends week on the Ins and Outs of work podcast! After a ‘Realign’ and a ‘Reconnect’ episode, it’s now time for a conversation around our final trend for HR in 2022: Redeploy. For this, we were being joined by David Perring, Director of Research at analyst firm Fosway. David had a lot of interesting things to share with us, often supported by fascinating research. We talked about how organizations are all about people’s energy, Gen Z and multigenerational workforces, being that one kid that’s being picked last for a game of football at school, and so much more.   Happy listening!   Find the HR Trends 2022 - Reconnect video here: https://youtu.be/Hu68yuJO5cc Find the HR Trends 2022 - Realign video here: https://youtu.be/Tv7_pwEAhWw To find out about Dr. Eliza Filby’s research on generations that David talked about go here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-eliza-filby-b255122a/   Have a question or comment on this episode?

This week is all about our HR Trends for 2022: Realign, Reconnect, Redeploy.  On today’s episode, we talk with Rishita Jones, Transformation, Communication and Change Consultant at her own company New Routes for Growth (NRG HR).

VHUCA. Virtuality, Humility, Connection, and Authenticity. Those were the HR trends we identified last year for 2021. Were we right? Were we wrong? A bit of both?  In today’s episode of the Ins and Outs of Work, we look back at 2021 and last year’s HR trends video. We listen to some of the most interesting things our guest experts had to say and discuss what we feel has happened (or not) in the world of work over the past year. With our HR trends for 2022 coming ups next week, this episode is a fantastic way to refresh your memory, form your own opinion about the developments you saw - or didn’t see - this year and reflect on what’s yet to come.  Happy listening!

To return or not to return? (to the office)...that is the question! Over the last few months, companies have been on a journey to figure out how to navigate a return to 'normal' office life. As Covid restrictions lift in many parts of the world, what should the new normal of work-life look like? We spoke with Marlene Ramsing Gudman of Salesforce, to understand how Salesforce approached this big topic a few months ago. As a mega multi-national company, with over 60,000 employees worldwide, their approach was fascinating and innovative. Please note, this episode was first recorded as a live webinar with slides. We have edited the audio for this podcast format. The episode features an introduction and context-setting from Neelie and Joe.

Does your organization have the skills it needs to be successful in the future? What kind of skills will be needed to future-proof your workforce?
