Even so, the field experienced many challenges, some of which came without any ‘handbook’ to forge ahead.
According to research conducted by industry professionals, studies have shown that:
- People want to work for organisations with whom they have well-aligned cultural values.
- Employers who assist and guide employees on a more ‘personal’ level, regarding their life goals and expectation, are seeing a 20% improvement in the mental and physical health of their workers.
- Of organisations with a standard 40-hour work week, below 40% of employees are ‘high performing’ workers.
- Companies need to prioritise reskilling their existing workforce fast enough to meet their changing needs.
- Organisations have faced work-from-home (WFH) and hybrid working. However, there is a growing concern regarding what happens next.
