It's a good time to think about what we can look forward to in 2019. When it comes to HR and the world of work in general, here are four trends you should stay on top of in 2019.
It's time to think about what we can look forward to in 2019. The world of work has been going through some massive changes, like the rise of the gig economy, increasing use of artificial intelligence, and the scary fact that 85 percent of the jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't even been invented yet. How can one prepare for the unknown?
Before you start thinking about how you will reskill, here are the top four trends you should watch in 2019.
The start of a new year is a time to look back on 2018, but also to look ahead to 2019. What would you have done differently and where do you see room for improvement? What should HR pay attention to this year? What will be the biggest HR-trends and are there any opportunities? In the current world of competitive talents, it is important to follow the latest HR trends. Looking at 2019, what can HR professionals expect?
In 2019 HR will see growing adoption of "nudge-based" technology designed to encourage productive employee behaviors, more scrutiny of artificial intelligence tools and increased use of specialized "point" systems, according to technology industry experts who spoke with SHRM Online.
As HR executives turn the page on a new year some will pause to reflect on just how much — and how little — has changed in the span of 12 months.
Increased attention on topics traditionally considered the realm of HR — discrimination, harassment, diversity, workplace culture — made workplaces the convergence point for some of the biggest storylines in 2018. Calls for equal pay, worker protections and better solutions for harassment and discrimination swirled through the boardrooms and shop floors of Google, Tesla, Amazon and CBS, among others.
After a try out, where I talked about my draft list of HR trends for this article, one of the participants commented: “I think in some ways you are more a trendwisher than a trendwatcher, as some of these trends seem more wishful thinking than that they are based on facts and thorough research”. In my view, this was certainly a justified remark. It is difficult to be a neutral observer. Organisations, and especially HR in organisations, sometimes seem to change slowly. We have sensed all the trends we describe in this article, and for most of them we would hope an acceleration in 2019!
In the early days of your company, you’re more likely than not the captain of a one- or two-person operation. And when that’s the case, it often makes sense for you to deal with admin tasks as they come—after all, you’re just trying to find your footing. But if you’re growing and finding you need more hands on deck, the best thing you can do for your company is look into HR software for small business.

We reviewed over 50 HRMS solutions to manage your personnel - including positions, absence, payroll and benefits.
When it comes to starting and running a successful business, the discussion of how to efficiently handle human resources tends to take a backseat to the more fun brainstorming, like what to name the company or how the logo should be designed. But building a successful company is so much more about having effective processes in place than it is a fancy logo or a clever name.
It’s about ensuring that everyone is on the same page, that information is well-organized and easy to pass along internally, and most of all, that your employees and team members are taken care of reliably and effectively. There is nothing worse than having to explain to your entire team that there’s been an issue with payroll, for example.
When you consider the importance and value of employees, it could be argued that human resources trumps everything else in your business. If a company doesn’t have an efficient HR process, then the difficulties in hiring and retaining employees will seriously hamper any operation.
The growing human resources (HR) software market is forecast to reach $10.9 billion by 2023. While most companies and individuals are somewhat familiar with an HR software, the landscape is rapidly changing with the addition of new best-of-breed apps and to keep pace with the ways changing technology affects how users want to interact with software.
The coalition between HR management and modern technology never mattered to businesses more than it does in 2019; making it impossible to imagine one without the other. HR and HCM systems of today have a role at all stages of the hire-to-retire process, and enable managers to truly recover what they’ve invested in smart staffing.
