The top 6 work trends to watch for in 2025
Having an awareness of the emerging work trends is about more than keeping up with conversations. It’s about understanding where the corporate world is heading, and finding unique ways to use these trends to keep your business thriving and future proof.?????
For this week’s newsletter, inspired partly by insights from the World Economic Forum's "Future of Jobs Report 2025," we’ve explored the most influential and important work trends to watch for in 2025, so you can use them to your advantage.
We can expect to see an increased integration of AI, machine learning, and automation into everyday processes and jobs. This means humans working more seamlessly alongside these emerging technologies, rather than being ‘replaced’. This will inevitably lead to the invention of new roles as well as a transformation of old ones, so be prepared to evolve alongside.???
Despite what tech giant CEOs would have you believe, flexible work is going nowhere in 2025. Given that workers still see flexible work as a top priority in a workplace, companies will continue to adopt more remote and hybrid work policies as a way to secure the best talent and keep ahead of competitors.??
Alongside the boom in automation and digital transformation, there will be an increased demand for both technological skills - such as data analysis, AI, and machine learning - and human-centric skills, like creativity, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. So, if you’ve been tempted to learn new skills and evolve your day-to-day role, 2025 is the year to do it!?

With the skills revolution comes a new mindset: one of continuous learning. Expect approaches to roles to become less siloed, as the rapid pace of technological change incites more of us to shift our focus. In short: the more we learn, the more we can diversify and broaden our interests and responsibilities.?
With both Millennials and Gen Z workers now rising into leadership positions, it’s likely we’ll see an increased prioritization of ethical practices at work. In 2025 and beyond, more and more workers and leaders will be seeking employment that aligns with their values, whether that’s environmental, social, or ethical. And with consumers increasingly “voting with their wallets”, it’s beginning to pay to be a brand that does good in the world.??
Similarly, the days of bragging about overtime and to-do lists as long as your arm are gone. In 2025, mental and physical health and work life balance are top priorities for workplaces and their employees. Expect a focus on real-world benefits like mental health leave, flexible work policies, or subsidized therapy to improve wellness over more ‘fluffy’ measures like in-office yoga or nap pods. That’s so 2015!?
