    How to become an HR trendsetter and influencer

    You need to keep up with the latest HR trends. But what should you do with the information and how do you become an HR trendsetter and influencer rather than just a trendwatcher in HR People & Culture? In this episode of Talking HR Trends with Natal & Tom, Natal Dank from PXO Culture and Tom Haak of the HR Trend Institute look at why it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and case studies, how to do this and what to do with the information once you have it. This is essential if you're going to be seen as a thought leader in the HR domain of your business. Look beyond the field of HR for inspiration - other disciplines, science, arts. Know what issue you want to tackle otherwise you might get lost just looking for trends. Don't just copy other organisations - every situation is different.

    The Great Resignation

    Are you ready for the great resignation? Workers across the globe are rethinking their careers and looking at moving on to something new. As a result of the pandemic, companies are facing a huge increase in turnover and the threat of losing their best talent. Natal Dank is seeing this ‘Great Resignation’ in action with some of the companies she’s working with and many are even having to hire more people in the recruitment team in order to then go and hire more people for their organisation. According to the results of a recent survey by Microsoft across the global workforce, 41% of people are thinking about leaving their job at the moment. The Wall Street Journal has reported that in America, the quit rate is the highest it's been in the last two decades. A Chilean friend of Tom Haak’s (of the HR Trend Institute) refers to this as ‘La Grande Renuncia’, which both agree sounds much better. So, this Great Resignation aka Turnover Tsunami is happening in Chile as well and is a serious global threat.
