The new year is a great time to dust off the crystal ball and CNN polled workplace consultants in early January to see what trends and changes they envision for 2024.

Nothing hurts your business like employee turnover, especially when you lose your top talent, but there is a useful HR tool – the “stay interview” – that can proactively combat turnover threats by shining a light on employee needs and fostering engagement before someone reaches the exit door.

“Only interviewing employees when they’re entering or exiting your organization could be why some retention efforts are lacking,” writes Amanda Schiavo in HR Brew. “Instead, HR pros may want to consider conducting stay interviews, or regular, one-on-one conversations with staff to gauge their experience at work.”

In today's post-COVID work environment, employee leave policies are no longer just compliance formalities. They're cornerstones of healthy company culture, fostering employee well-being, boosting morale, and ultimately, driving business success.

Difficult conversations with employees are never easy, but in today's tight labor market and post-pandemic work environment, they can be even more challenging.

The dynamics of the workplace have shifted, and managers need to be equipped with the necessary tips and tactics to address sensitive issues effectively.

As the calendar turns to 2024 it’s tempting for HR leaders to follow the latest trends and adopt buzzworthy strategies but it’s crucial to make sure your priorities are business-led and align seamlessly with your organization’s goals.

There’s a lot of buzz about 5G in business, but for employers, 5G means more than just blazing internet speeds – it can stand for the five different generations, ranging from the Silent Generation to Gen Z, in today’s workplace.

Shhhhhh! Come closer and we can whisper the hottest workplace word in your ear: It’s “quiet”!

As in “Quiet Quitting” and “Quiet Firing” and now “Quiet Hiring”.

HR departments play a critical role in ensuring that their companies comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. This can be a challenging task, especially given the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

“The function of human resources (HR) has undergone significant changes and growth over the past few years,” writes Cailin Potami in Business News Daily. “HR’s constantly expanding functions include recruiting top talent, shaping a company’s culture, building better leaders, and maintaining legal and effective company policies.”

Leadership training is essential for the success of any business, and in today's rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever for leaders to have the skills they need to help their organization attract and retain top talent.

For this reason, employers should focus on improving their leadership training programs in 2024 and beyond.

Early October is that time of year when the first crisp mornings appear like a shimmering mirage of a long, hot summer, and a reminder that 2023 is fast coming to a finish.

And while the Oktoberfest beer steins are still being cleaned and the Halloween candy has yet to be handed out, it’s not too early for business owners to turn their attention to 2024 and the coming new calendar year.
