HR leaders expect leadership training and employee engagement to be top priorities this year, shifting from last year’s focus on recruiting, a Society for Human Resource Management report found. “Investing in strong leadership, employee experience, and learning and development will be key to driving business success in the year ahead,” says SHRM President and CEO Johnny Taylor Jr.
The recruiting challenges of 2024 may be followed this year by a shift of attention to employee engagement and leadership development, according to the   2025 SHRM State of the Workplace report.

“As organizations continue to navigate talent shortages, economic fluctuations, and evolving workplace dynamics, HR leaders are shifting their focus to long-term workforce development and engagement strategies,” said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president and chief executive officer of SHRM. “To thrive in today’s ever-evolving landscape, organizations must ensure the pace of change inside their businesses keeps up with or outpaces the change happening outside. Investing in strong leadership, employee experience, and learning and development will be key to driving business success in the year ahead.” 

Looking Ahead

The survey asked HR professionals and U.S. workers to select the top three priorities they would like to see in 2025. 

The most popular choice for HR professionals was leadership and manager development (chosen by 41% of respondents), followed by employee experience (37%) and learning and development (25%). By contrast, total rewards was the priority named by the most U.S. workers (42%), followed by employee experience (33%) and learning and development (24%) as well as leadership and manager development (24%).

HR professionals and U.S. workers are calling for a stronger focus on employee development and engagement,”  said Ragan Decker, Ph.D., manager of Executive Network and enterprise research at SHRM.

Addressing Talent Shortages

“Our research found that recruiting was the top priority for organizations in 2024, which isn’t surprising given the ongoing challenges in attracting top talent,” Decker said. “However, what stands out is that when we asked HR professionals and U.S. workers what they’d like their organizations to prioritize in 2025, recruiting was not among the top areas they’d like their organizations to focus on.” 

This shift suggests organizations are focusing inward to address labor shortages, Decker said. “According to SHRM’s CHRO Priorities and Perspectives report, we know CHROs are prioritizing leadership and manager development, employee experience, and talent management in 2025,” she said. 

The results suggest the emphasis has shifted toward developing and retaining existing talent to build a more sustainable workforce.”

Recruiting Difficulties

Looking back at 2024, HR professionals identified recruiting (43%), employee experience (31%), and leadership and manager development (27%) as top priorities, the report said. 

Respondents could select up to three options across 16 HR practice areas. 

The report drew on responses from 1,615 HR professionals, 238 HR executives, and 471 U.S. workers, encapsulating multiple perspective across these areas.

The 16 areas, listed in order of those most prioritized as of December 2024, are:

Recruiting

Employee experience

Leadership and manager development

Performance management

Labor and employee relations 

Learning and development 

Talent management

Organizational design and change management 

HR function strategy and management 

Total rewards  

HR technology 

The future of work

Inclusion and diversity 

Talent analytics  

C-suite/board relations

Environmental, social, and governance; ethics; and compliance

 

 

 

Recommendations

The report made the following recommendations:

  • Drive HR excellence in a dynamic landscape. For example, HR might strengthen data-driven insights, lean on agility to adapt and evolve, and foster a culture of ownership and transparency.
  • Prioritize HR first. HR should regularly align and integrate HR strategy with business goals, invest in HR technology and tools, and provide continuous development for HR teams.
  • Demonstrate HR’s value through employee involvement. HR should conduct regular feedback surveys with employees. HR also should have more discussions about its role and open lines of communication. Reinforce HR’s strategic importance by sharing such key performance indicators as engagement scores and reduced turnover rates.

GLOBALTVtalkshow

Let’s talk about the Power of Courage!
– Live 1:1 with the lovely Edwin B Cohen!   Ed and I talked about a number of things:
What is Imposter Syndrome and is it different to a general lack of confidence?
How does – Small Acts of Courage = Builds Confidence – support the achievement of a bigger goal?
What does courage mean and how does small steps build resilience?

Link here to our 30 min chat on Youtube:
https://lnkd.in/da-jvWDt

It was a stimulating conversation and I’m truly grateful and honoured for Ed’s invitation for me to go live with him in San Diego!

Looking forward to another session too… and I never thought I’d be able to say “I’m live with San Diego!”

Meeting people like Ed brings so much joy into my daily worklife and I hope that our discussion supports people to understand more about why courage is the powerhouse value for your personal confidence and leadership skin.
