Trends in human resources in 2023 - Emptor

If you are in recruitment and selection, you know that these last two years have quickly changed the way of attracting and retaining top talent in companies. The way of changing has been a shift from remote work to hybrid work, or a combination of both, with the challenges of maintaining a culture within companies with these combinations of factors of not being 100% physically in an office.

The pandemic, the shortage of qualified talent, and the “great resignation” are the new reality.

We share with you 5 predictions that will be trends in human resources in 2023 so that you prepare the engines and start the year with these aspects in sight:

1. Treating your candidates well will pay off
   In an increasingly competitive and globalized world, top candidates have more options. Making the candidate experience exceptional and focusing it on their needs will allow you to stand out from other competitors or offers.
   Why is the candidate experience important?
   A positive candidate experience increases the chances that talent will join your team. In the era of social media, candidates share their experiences on sites like Glassdoor, Indeed, or on social networks like LinkedIn. Providing timely follow-up and feedback after each interview is an element that adds value to your company’s branding. The image of being a company that cares about being clear from the beginning in each step of the hiring process provides candidates with clarity and transparency, which positively contributes to the perception of your brand.
   A positive candidate experience makes potential candidates feel like part of the team from the onboarding process, when they decide to join your team.

2. Wellness can increase talent retention
   Communication with your collaborators allows, in addition to establishing a better active listening relationship, implementing new general wellness policies and work-life balance. Work-life balance is essential to promote a culture of mental health and overall well-being in your employer-employee relationship.

3. Pioneers in human resources technology will have an advantage
   Companies that adopt technology to make better data-driven decisions will be able to better optimize their talent attraction processes. Artificial intelligence allows you to automate repetitive tasks, facilitate and follow up on communications, process hundreds and sometimes thousands of resumes and applications, eliminate biases in processes, and streamline communication across the entire hiring team.
   The use of ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) allows you to efficiently find the best applicant; integrations of algorithms to find passive candidates who can contribute great talent are some of the advantages of using artificial intelligence to optimize processes.

4. The great resignation will become the great reconnection
   Top talent requires processes to focus more on active listening. Organizations that provide well-being to their employees find that performance increases as employees feel rewarded for their commitment. Therefore, recruiters and members of your human resources department should pay attention to the following points:

   • Focus on the candidate experience.
   • Understand the needs/desires of candidates: benefits, bonuses, benefits, career plan.
   • Cultivate an inclusive culture that supports diversity.

5. Remote/hybrid work is here to stay
   Organizations must adapt to remote collaborations and provide asynchronous collaboration spaces with cloud-based repositories and vulnerability-proof security. Clear collaboration based on objectives can provide performance that achieves the relevant goals for your company.

Human resources trends in 2023 have a more human focus and are inclined towards the well-being of your collaborators. Having a strategy that understands from your employer branding to the employee value proposition and that takes into account every detail of the candidate’s journey will allow you to offer the best experience that attracts the ideal candidates for the vacant positions in your organization. Having a great team that structures the message and provides relevant follow-up to all talent acquisition and retention processes will allow you to reduce acquisition and hiring costs, optimizing processes to maximize your company’s investment in the best candidates.

6. Data Analysis
   Data analysis can provide valuable information about HR processes and help companies make more informed decisions. HR professionals are using data to track key metrics such as employee engagement, retention rates, and diversity statistics. With the help of data analysis, companies can identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions.

7. Agile Human Resources
   Agile HR is an approach that focuses on flexibility and adaptability. With this approach, HR professionals can quickly respond to changing business needs and adjust their processes accordingly. Agile HR can help companies stay competitive and respond to new challenges.

The field of human resources is constantly evolving, and 2023 will be no different. As we have seen, artificial intelligence, technology, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, remote work, data analysis, and agile human resources are the main human resources trends for 2023. By staying up-to-date with these trends, companies can ensure they are attracting and retaining the best talent and staying competitive in their industries.
