RECENT TRENDS IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The world is still facing the after-effects of the pandemic that have left a paradigm shift everywhere.

To be on top, the HR industry has to bring a working model into practice that maximizes productivity
and increases flexibility and efficiency simultaneously.

HR is changing its structure almost every day in accordance with the changes in technology. With the
right measures and approaches from enterprise leaders, it ought to have a positive impact on the
daily operations, and subsequently the employees too.

From my perspective, here are the beaming trends in HRM for 2024 and beyond:

1. A hybrid structure

The personnel groups relocated when work-from-home became a routine, leaving all the teams and
companies to disband from one particular geographical location to anywhere in the nation.

Where some organizations are encouraging their employees to start in-office jobs again, many are
content with a hybrid culture and are continuing to play by that.

Which route your organization takes can make a whole lot of difference between keeping or losing
the workforce — around 40% of the workforce shared that they’d consider quitting if their
organization puts a halt on hybrid culture.

Hybrid work culture is also a natural first step today for a business to expand in foreign markets too.
The hybrid culture automatically opens the door for new opportunities for growth and earnings.
Over the past few years, expanding through foreign markets has become easier and more affordable
due to the rise in hybrid culture.

2. Global expansion on the rise

Shifting your work into the global market – remote working is an initial step. With changing times
and technology the trends in HRM have taken a turn too, and the inauguration of a business in
foreign lands is becoming a cakewalk. Furthermore, governments uplifting strict policies in this post-
pandemic era – support the businesses too.
3. Employee experience takes precedence

Employees today don’t just want a good paycheck but a quality culture and healthy work
environment as well. As a part of trends in HRM, a good remuneration retains an employee, and a
qualified environment and experience assist in the choice too.

HR leaders should bring about methods to encourage positive workforce health, making the
employees more flexible to changes and disruptions.

Organizations today are offering products, services, and methods to enhance not their own but
other firms employee experiences as well. Employee management, time & attendance management,
employee self service portals, leave management, etc., are all a part of the trends in HRM culture
today.

4. Analytics gaining the front seats

With no physical human contact, tracking and measuring the work and employees became
strenuous, especially when the workforce is spread throughout the globe. Analytics is said to play an
impacting role in offering information for decision-making.

Employee management is an integral part of an organization. What work to assign to which


employee, tracking their progress, ensuring completion of OKRs, and rewarding the employees
accordingly is very important to make the funtions of a firm a success.

5. A surge in monitoring the employees

With the growing number of hybrid workers, managers are often unable to scrutinize every single
employee and their work. The lack of personal interaction led to a surge in employee monitoring
techniques that gave birth to yet another set of trends in HRM.

Keeping track of work and performance, attendance, and leaves, are just a portion of employee
monitoring practices.

6. Automation of everyday tasks

To give precedence to high-value and productive workings, HR leaders can leverage AI-powered
solutions to automate their daily tasks that were carried out manually. Practices such as screening,
sourcing talents, onboarding, keeping check of attendance, etc., and a lot more now can be carried
out by the systems in this tech-driven world.

Proper workflows are set to streamline all the automation and to avoid any errors. All these trends
in HRM are changing the face of a workplace and skyrocketing the growth of every organization
leveraging these methods.
7. Augmenting the hiring processes

Yet another perk that can be considered as a part of trends in HRM are chatbots. With their
assistance, employers can now manage to select quality candidates for relevant positions out of the
ample talent pools available.

Functions such as resume screening choose explicit candidate profiles, subsequently ensuing in
higher work performance and enhanced productivity. Solutions such as an Applicant Tracking
Software are one of the latest trends in HRM today. An ATS streamlines the entire hiring process
from job posting to onboarding and much more. Integrations with job boards is yet another trends in
HRM that posts jobs on multiple websites with a single click.
