5 workplace trends to prepare for in 2024

If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that it certainly doesn’t hurt to be a step or two (or five) ahead of the curve. ​To help in strategic planning efforts and support you in getting to the heart of what will matter most to workplaces in 2024, we conducted a global survey of 300+ respondents to uncover this year’s five most influential workplace trends.

When digging into the survey data, some standout challenges emerged:

• Job satisfaction is at an all-time low
• Executives are out of touch with their employees
• Work-life balance is even more important than salary
• An increased focus on company culture

In 2024, employers who want to succeed need to prioritize their company’s most important asset: its people. With a focus on bringing humanity to the workplace, employers can emphasize individual strengths, promote meaningful contributions, and ultimately improve employee satisfaction and retention.

Here’s what you’ll find inside the report

1. The disconnect between leaders and employees
   There is a major gap between what executives perceive to be issues and triumphs at their organization and what their employees feel. We dig into how to close this divide in 2024.
2. A new approach to employee performance reviews
   Only a third of those surveyed say they value, actively participate in, and use performance reviews for improvement. Our data reveals how to reframe these conversations to be more impactful.
3. Prioritizing training and development to boost performance
   Those with the most job satisfaction are 5x more likely to work for companies that provide opportunities to enhance their skill set to develop their career. We dig into why.
