Dear Friends,
People-Centric Approach
The year that passed after the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that the HR function in business must be prepared to handle all unexpected events and provide a protective umbrella for the organization and its people to shield them from any untoward incidents.
Whether it's quiet resignations, the hybrid working model, talent shortages, or mental well-being challenges, these factors have forced business and HR leaders to delve deep into finding ways to align with business needs. Mass layoffs on the employee front have cast a shadow on organizations' credibility and sustainability.
Against this backdrop, HR's focus in 2023 may be on consolidating the fragmented workforce, developing innovative talent management strategies through retention programs, and enhancing employee experience and engagement. Embracing HR technology and upskilling the HR team to maximize efficiency may also be crucial areas of focus for HR in the coming year. The workforce issues, including the flexibility of the gig economy, will require increased attention as it could pose challenges if not managed effectively, given the growing numbers. Maintaining a proactive approach could prove beneficial to the function.
Preserving the organization's credibility among the workforce and fostering growth in challenging times were crucial aspects that HR witnessed during the pandemic. The concern of a slowdown leading to mass layoffs and subsequently damaging credibility among the workforce will be a critical focus for HR to ensure that, if inevitable in the upcoming year as indicated by some surveys in certain sectors, it is handled as a last resort after exhausting all alternatives in a humane manner that minimizes the impact on employees. How well HR can manage this pressure will be a test in the times ahead.
HR experts featured in this edition discuss the key focus areas for HR in the upcoming year with insights and predictions, which are instrumental in setting the agenda for HR leaders.
The cover story of this edition features the highly anticipated annual compilation of significant labor judgments from 2022. Our research team has condensed over 600 judgments delivered by the Supreme Court and various high courts into concise summaries, providing readers with an understanding of the core points of each judgment.
