Without the effective implementation of HR goals, companies can become fragmented and lose their focus and sense of culture, hindering productivity and the achievement of overall strategic goals. This then has a knock-on effect on employee satisfaction and engagement, resulting in reduced retention and increased turnover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, the top priorities for HR leaders tend to be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing and implementing HR strategies and initiatives aligned with the overall business strategy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serving as a link between management and the general workforce<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nurturing a corporate culture that boosts morale and encourages employee engagement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying training needs and developing critical skills to promote the development of qualified and motivated employees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promoting a sense of team spirit, teamwork and collaboration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an HR manager, you need to create specific and measurable KPIs that take into account these objectives to help your company grow and develop into a happy and productive workforce, regardless of the changing landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5 Top Priorities for HR Leaders in 2022<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a number of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/hr-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HR trends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to watch out for in 2022, many of which have resulted from a need to adapt to the new normal of work. As an HR manager, you can get a wealth of knowledge from traditional <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/hr-best-books-for-managers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HR management books<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but nothing can prepare you for the changing reality of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. It\u2019s all about keeping your finger on the pulse and adapting to evolving business trends and changing workplace cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this in mind, we have compiled the 5 top priorities for HR leaders in 2022 to help you stay ahead of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Employee Experience and Wellness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenges that both employers and employees have faced during the pandemic have highlighted the importance of employee health and wellness. They have also emphasized the value of cultivating a positive employee experience in order to retain talent and build a workplace culture where employees can thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the increasing popularity of <strong>remote and hybrid work models, more focus has been placed on finding a healthy work-life balance.<\/strong> Employers have also noticed the direct effect of stress and anxiety on productivity levels. If employees are healthy, happy and motivated, they are far more likely to be productive members of your team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going forward in 2022, <strong>one of your HR goals should be to focus on a more holistic view of employee wellbeing. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do your employees need to be healthy and safe? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your employees work from home, make sure they have the right tools, support, and resources to perform to the best of their abilities. Make sure your managers are aware of the dangers of stress and burnout. And, most importantly, track employee hours and PTO to make sure your workforce is taking the downtime it needs to rest and recharge.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI &amp; B)<\/strong> will continue to be a top trend for HR leaders in 2022. The aim here is to make sure all your employees feel a sense of <strong>belonging and value<\/strong> <strong>within your organization<\/strong>. The best way to achieve this goal is by focusing on creating a working environment that benefits all employees, regardless of gender, ethnic background, socioeconomic background, and mental and physical ability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important here to go beyond the <strong>rhetoric and walk the walk, don\u2019t just talk the talk.<\/strong> You need to create measurable KPIs for tracking diversity, equity, and inclusion in your workplace. And for this, you need reliable data. <strong>Run reports to measure retention rates of historically marginalized groups<\/strong>. Look at your recruitment, promotion, and development metrics to see if you can detect any potential bias in your processes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also need to <strong>talk to your employees to see how they perceive your level of DE&amp;I<\/strong>. And once you\u2019ve done all that, offer training to raise awareness of the value of an inclusive workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Remote \/ Hybrid Workplace Culture<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of all the top priorities for HR leaders this coming year, this may be one of the biggest challenges. With many companies continuing to offer temporary or permanent remote or hybrid working models, <strong>creating an environment where all workers feel connected and a part of the team can be difficult.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you create a sense of unity and belonging if your employees are all working from different locations? How do you make people feel connected to the organizational culture if there are no in-person events, team-building exercises, or conversations in the break room?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key is adapting your vision of workplace culture. <strong>Find different ways to help your team connect so that everyone feels united,<\/strong> wherever they are working from. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage engagement and support personal development and freedom; reinforce a sense of shared purpose and remind each employee that what they do is important for the success of the company as a whole; create as many online communication channels as possible and hold regular online meetings and events. And most importantly, <strong>make sure all employees know that you are present and accessible whenever they need support.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Change Management<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another top goal for HR leaders this year is improving change management.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important for HR managers to be aware of <strong>the effect of organizational shifts on employees<\/strong>. For one thing, it has led to a degree of stress, fatigue, and burnout. It\u2019s therefore important for you as a leader to do what you can to support your staff as they adapt to a new way of working.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the most effective strategy for this is founded on <strong>the principle of positive change.<\/strong> Focus on what works well and how changes to your work environment can benefit employees on an individual level. Build an exciting vision of how great things will be if everyone embraces these changes. Create a positive change experience. And, most importantly,<strong> focus on building trust and team cohesiveness.<br \/>\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-2493a455-07a7-4965-9faf-ec449b8bbc5b\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-2493a455-07a7-4965-9faf-ec449b8bbc5b\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-2493a455-07a7-4965-9faf-ec449b8bbc5b\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]>\n\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/4960096\/2493a455-07a7-4965-9faf-ec449b8bbc5b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-2493a455-07a7-4965-9faf-ec449b8bbc5b\" class=\"hs-cta-img aligncenter\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/4960096\/2493a455-07a7-4965-9faf-ec449b8bbc5b.png\" alt=\"New call-to-action\" width=\"900\" height=\"308\" \/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(4960096, '2493a455-07a7-4965-9faf-ec449b8bbc5b', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Developing Critical Skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final goal that HR leaders will be prioritizing in 2022 is <strong>the development of critical skills<\/strong>.
