1. Greater need for staff
Large companies may have made massive layoffs in recent times, particularly in the technology sector. However, the trend is that there will be a lack of manpower for the growth of companies, especially with regard to sectors that require technical or specific skills. Thus, according to a study carried out in 2022 by the Deloitte consultancy, training a qualified workforce will be a major challenge for companies seeking growth.
2. Careers more creative than linear
In view of the digitization of modernity, the very presentation of the curriculum has undergone changes. Now, companies tend to give more value to purposes, successes, failures and experiences demonstrated in their candidates' CVs. As FGV professor and consultant Fabrício Stocker informed Forbes, “we are much more interested in creative, innovative and resolute people than in that linearity with which we were already accustomed".
3. shorter work week
Recently, the four-day workweek has been tested and implemented in several countries and companies, such as Belgium, England, Iceland and Sweden. What remained demonstrated in these tests is that the reduction in hours actually worked brought benefits to the mental and physical health of workers. Still, the reduction did not bring any harm to the productivity of professionals, and may be a trend to be adopted by more companies and countries in the future.
4. More flexibility = more happiness
With the event of the Covid-19 pandemic, most companies had to resort, at least, to the hybrid work system - in which employees employees work both at home and in an office or location set by the company – and, although many fear for the productivity of employees, this fear was not justified, as workers at home are happier and more productive than those forced to be in the office all the time.
5. Benefits attract more talent
Employees increasingly value the benefits offered by employers, whether they are health care, mental health or physical activity, or even the flexibility of work, both in relation to the hours worked and in relation to the place where they can to work.
