Recorded 28 November, available on-demand
As we approach 2024, employers are still facing uncertainty. The scarcity of skills and candidates is still hampering many organisations’ ability to thrive in a changing economy, and employees increasingly want more from their employers to remain engaged.
HR professionals are at the forefront of the solution to these persistent problems, but not only do they need to respond to current concerns, they also need to be thinking ahead about emerging issues like artificial intelligence and future skills needs.
With so many challenges facing HR, it can be difficult to know what to prioritise.
This Personnel Today webinar in association with Make UK aims to help HR to make sense of the top challenges facing HR in 2024 and offer some potential solutions.
