Some really good points already! My view on AI is it will cause a bit of a challenge more so with employees and senior managers - I see it being the new tool for people to try and tell us how to do our job! I imagine this putting some HR jobs at risk and then we will see an increase in businesses getting things wrong. Hopefully, (if this is the case) we will see a complete 180 and then a demand for more HR professionals once people establish it is absolutely NOT a black and white AI job that can be done by anyone.
Flexibility will be a massive one, I totally agree with Robey about this. There will be so much demand and push back. This will 100% contribute to the unions - current government will push for more work-life balance which will be challenging for smaller businesses that rely a bit more on teams coming together when needed.
My other predictions are:
- Increase in discrimination legislation, practices and changes to how far businesses go with reasonable adjustments.
- Increase in H&S practices and a focus on this when WFH. I think we will have to start providing more equipment and training, more onus will be on businesses.
- My wild card for this subject is that I suspect over the next few years businesses might have to provide staff with a type of medical insurance to support the NHS to ease some financial pressures, including strengthening mental health care.
