Revealed: What HR will look like in 2020

The function of HR is ever evolving, with vast changes expected to take place within just five years – according to a new study.

Eversheds, along with researchers Winmark, have released their HR 2020 report, entitled Navigating the Future – with results showing a more flexible, diverse and skilled workforce than ever before.

The report collates the insights and opinions of 56 HR Directors and 13 non-executive directors in order to paint a realistic picture of future workplaces and habits, with the predictions showing employee's wants and needs climbing in priority.

In 2020 the “War for Talent”, as the report labels skills shortages, will be more prevalent than ever - with a widening gap between high and low skilled jobs emerging.
