2024 has kicked off with continued discussions around status-quo challenging topics such as the 4-day work week, mandatory return-to-office rules, and new workplace laws. Three months down and nine more to go, we think this year is going to be a year of change.
From a recent Culture Amp webinar, we’ve sourced the top five trends that we believe will play a growing role in connecting, engaging, and retaining top team members. See the summary below:
- Trust and Transparency: Open communication and trust between employers and employees, especially in challenging times, is important. At Corporate Edge, we take part in quarterly all-team meetings where even the challenging topics are discussed.?
- Next Gen Managers: Generation Y and Z are stepping into middle-management roles and they need investment in their development and upskilling. This is an untapped leadership role in your organisation that has the potential to transform strategic directions.
- Commute-Worthy Workplaces: The nature of office spaces in the hybrid workplace is constantly evolving, with a growing demand for welcoming and engaging physical workplaces. To enhance employee experience and foster connection, at the Corporate Edge office we have ergonomic furniture, greenery, decals on the walls, a photo wall and we eat lunch lunch together as a team.?
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): The integration of AI into workflows to automate tasks and increase productivity emphasises the need for upskilling in AI technologies. AI is still an area that Corporate Edge is exploring; however, we can foresee its benefits to workload, professional development and organisational growth.
- Regulatory Changes: Leaders have a responsibility to stay updated on changes in workplace regulations and foster a culture of compliance and psychological safety within their organisations. At Corporate Edge, we know how important creating a culture of psychological safety is to encouraging your team members to feel supported and open to discussing challenges. If you’re looking for ways to foster a psychologically safe working environment, we have multiple programs and wellbeing tools that can help do just that!
We are three months into 2024 and already we can see the above five trends playing out in our workplaces. As a leadership and organisational development organisation, reach out if you’d like to navigate the changing landscape of 2024 together.
