Business Trends: 2020 & Beyond...

It is safe to say that if you’re not ahead, you’re falling behind.

Here’s some insight on business trends in 2020…

Artificial Intelligence taking over...

It is safe to say that AI has already changed the world. AI can help businesses of any size identify key information to drive their organisation forward. E.g. planning employee schedules, when to have meetings, noting how your people spend their time. Beyond that kind of daily assistance, AI can automate the most boring and monotonous tasks and assist with things such as hiring or improving your analytics in order to gain more of a competitive edge.

Businesses Prioritising Employee Health and Wellness

Now more than ever is the time to prioritise the health and wellness of your people. Better yet, lead from the front and prioritise your own! With all the challenges that so many of us are facing during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is so important to create health initiatives. This trend is unquestionable and will continue beyond this pandemic. If you are looking to make great hires, top talent will expect nothing less.

It’s no recent news that investing in your employee’s health and wellness can keep your people engaged, productive and motivated… and the natural consequence of this is improving your bottom line.

Where possible, allowing your employees to work from home beyond social distancing requirements is an obvious starting point. If this isn’t an option, it would be ideal to consider offering flexible working arrangements enabling your people to spend time with family or make those doctor’s appointments that have been constantly sacrificed in order to “show up”, and constantly be working. Balance people!
