Wondering what’s new in the workplace in 2023?

The workplace is constantly evolving, and in 2023, we can expect to see some significant changes that will shape the way we work and do business. Two recent articles, one from Harvard Business Review and another from Forbes, shed light on the trends that are likely to shape the workplace in 2023 and beyond.

One common theme running through both articles is the increasing use of technology in the workplace. According to the HBR article, automation will continue to reshape jobs, with an estimated 10-20% of current jobs expected to be replaced by machines by 2030. Meanwhile, the Forbes article highlights the rise of virtual and augmented reality as a tool for recruitment, onboarding, and employee training. This shift toward technology means that businesses need to be prepared to invest in new tools and strategies to remain competitive in the modern workforce.

Another trend identified in both articles is the growing focus on employee well-being. HBR highlights the importance of creating a culture of well-being to support employee mental and physical health, while Forbes suggests that companies will increasingly offer flexible work arrangements, such as remote work, to support work-life balance. The pandemic has shown the value of flexible work arrangements, and this trend is expected to continue into 2023 and beyond.

Other trends identified in the articles include an emphasis on soft skills, the importance of diversity and inclusion, and the rise of the gig economy.
