Gartner has surveyed more than 1,400 HR leaders across 60 countries to come up with the above. As always, I've summarized the 27 page đ report on your behalf:
Key Insights
The following drivers are the driving force behind the top priorities:
1. Growth challenges: Lack of integration & continuous need for transformation
2. hashtag#AI challenges: Workforce uncertainty & efficiency impact
3. Talent challenges: Mismatched skills & employee demands
The top 5 HR Priorities for 2025
1. Leader & Manager Development
As the survey rightly points out, "Traditional leadership development approaches arenât cutting it". This is despite 76% of organizations significantly updating their leadership programs & planning to increase spending, but the results are still falling short - Only 36% of HR leaders believe their current leadership development programs effectively prepare leaders for future challenges
2. Organizational Culture
Organizations are struggling to activate culture successfully, with 97% of CHROs keen to change some aspect of their organizationâs culture. Leading organizations recognize that the secret to activating culture is empowering leaders at every level to integrate culture into the values, behaviors, & processes that promote accountability for everyone
3. Strategic Workforce Planning
Understanding what effective strategic workforce planning (SWP) entails can be daunting. HR organizations frequently adopt a narrow, tactical approach, concentrating mainly on headcount planning. This inconsistent & non-scalable process hampers HR's capacity to anticipate & adapt to changing circumstances (e.g., competitor actions, mergers and acquisitions, economic downturns, pandemics) & restricts their ability to align with critical business initiatives
4. Manage Change
The annual volume of enterprise-level changes has surged due to cultural shifts, remote and office work mandates, and new technologies. Traditional change management practices fail to address overlapping, incompatible changes, leaving employees without sufficient time to adapt to one change before another begins
5. Get HR Technology Right
Organizations are increasingly seeking strategic support from HR. However, current HR technology strategies have fallen short of their transformative promises
đĄ Re 1. 1. Leader & Manager Development, did you know that targeted executive coaching is one of the most effective methods to develop executives? But don't take my word for it, take it from a recent client of mine, a CEO of a pharmaceutical company:
đŁ âThe experience of being a coaching client of Navid is a powerful one. Not only did I gain fascinating insights about my own leadership style, but I was also able to become a more impactful executive, & gained valuable insights into how I can bring out the best in my leadership team. I would wholeheartedly recommend Navid to any executive who is looking to maximise their leadership impact.â
