IntroductionOver the last decade, technological advancements have greatly impacted HR practices and management, allowing for more technology-oriented companies.
HR Trends
AI-powered HR
The human resource management industry will be significantly impacted by technology in the future. Artificial intelligence will continue to gain popularity in this field in the coming years. According to Gartner's survey on artificial intelligence, 17% of organizations already use AI-based solutions in their HR function, and another 30% plan to do so in the future. Furthermore, they also predicted that two-thirds of early AI adopters have one to three active AI projects, with plans to double the number of projects by the end of 2022.
Recent AI-based HR trends include automation of most HR tasks, such as organizing employee records, and various data analysis tools to help company management with decision making.
Improvement in Data Management
In the past, HR departments used to rely on huge piles of paper to manage and keep track of their employees' records. However, with the advent of modern technology, HR has now shifted towards using databases and analytics. With more and more companies developing software to manage HR data, analytics based on HR data management will become more common in the future. The advantages of HR data management include the ability to offer fair pay based on previous experience, easy access to employee data, and a streamlined database to manage recruitment processes.
Gig Economy
The gig economy is a term that has been coined to describe the practice of companies outsourcing work tasks, unlike traditional employment, which requires full-time employees. This trend in human resource management has been evolving since the beginning of industrialization, and it is expected to get more popular.
It is expected that more and more companies will adopt the "gig economy" in the future, where employees will be hired as independent freelancers. This change will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the global economy, as it is predicted that the shift in hiring and working practices will disrupt traditional business models. However, it is an inevitable trend that we cannot afford to ignore. These changes will not only affect the company's bottom line but also change how employees view their work and careers.
Increased Focus on Upskilling and Reskilling
“The 2021 workforce is on track to become more diverse than ever.” However, with the rapid advancements in technology, it is becoming more and more difficult to keep pace with the changes. To manage this, companies are turning to reskilling and upskilling their employees as a priority.
Understanding the Younger Generation
During the pandemic, the rate of youth unemployment has surged to its highest point. To tackle this issue, companies should consider reevaluating their strategies to attract and retain younger workers. The younger generation is technology-savvy and is causing significant changes in workforce trends, particularly in organizational management.
In 2021, companies have begun to prioritize the understanding of younger workers as a dedicated practice rather than just a marketing strategy. This shift has resulted in many companies making changes to their approach, such as increasing wages or providing more flexible schedules to cater to the needs of young workers.
With Millennials and Gen Z making up larger segments of the workforce, it's crucial to comprehend how they perceive the workplace because it will have an impact on the future of human resource management strategies.

Conclusion
In the coming years, HR is expected to continue growing and evolving with the help of new technologies and significant changes to the workplace. The future of HR will be vastly different from what we know today. This includes the implementation of AI and robotics in the workplace, providing digital experiences for employees and customers, the use of predictive analytics for employee development plans, and much more. Human resource management will no longer be just a job description but will also focus on how these advancements can help individuals find purpose in their work lives.
