Each year, several measures are put in place that can transform HR. This may be due to a government choice, whether by necessity or by law. For almost two years, the measures put in place have largely existed due to the current health crisis. It is also likely that new measures will arrive in 2022, continuing to change HR. In order to allow you to be the best informed on this subject, let's see together how to follow HR developments, what resources are available to you for this, and let's take stock of the measures coming in the future.
How to follow HR developments?
HR jobs are constantly evolving. More precisely, they evolve as new technologies evolve. That is why it is important to follow these developments. Let's take a look at the important skills to have at the moment for an HR job, based on the evolution of the last few years:
“Traditional” skills in 2022
To fully understand the new skills expected, let's see which skills were already needed in the minds of most.
Organizational actions: the HR person must be able to manage the career of each staff member through interviews, taking into account skills development, etc.,...
Strategic actions: these actions consist in monitoring departures and arrivals in the company, ensuring that employees do this or that training and so on.
Administrative actions: all employment contracts, sick leave, etc., are managed by the HR person.
Human actions: being directly present in the name HR (Human Resources), it is normal for the person or people in this division to manage the human part of the company, that is to say, this person is present to listen, and exchange with the people in the company who need it, to create a climate of trust.
Emerging skills in 2022
Now let's look at the skills that are less expected, because they are much newer, but just as important today.
Digital actions: the aspect of work that has probably developed the most due to the health crisis, digital actions will save time for an HR person, as well as for many employees.
Marketing actions: this aspect aims to best develop the job offers offered by the company, in order to find the most qualified person to meet the needs. That is the role of the HR department.
Analysis actions: to best know the effectiveness of the company's employees and production, analysis will be an HR employee's best tool. This makes it possible to adjust the company's strategy (s).
Human actions: indeed, this skill is not new, but it is certainly the one that is evolving the most. With remote work, a lot has changed from a human perspective, something that HR staff have had to adapt to.
The 2022 measures
Some measures will be taken in 2022 bringing about various changes in HR. First of all, we can note the health protocol that will change once again and impact HR jobs. A system has also been put in place until the end of 2022: free jobs. This system provides financial assistance for businesses hiring any unemployed person living in a priority area of city policy, thus creating more jobs. Finally, we can note the Qualiopi certification, which is becoming mandatory for service providers who need funding to contribute to the development of skills.
New reforms influenced by the elections?
Finally, the new presidential elections in 2022 can greatly impact HR jobs, even outside of the final result. That's why it's important to stay up to date with information that can lead to HR transformations in 2022.
What are the legal intelligence resources?
It is crucial to follow the legal evolution of the professional world for HR people, in order to adapt the company's strategy according to what is available. Let's see together how to follow the evolution of HR trends.
Google Alerts: this tool, offered by Google, allows you to receive an alert by email or on your phone whenever new information on a requested subject is sent to you. Ideal in difficult times to check the news yourself.
Internet sites: specialized sites on the legal aspect exist that will allow you to carry out legal monitoring. Here we recommend Légifrance, the official website of the French administration and Édition Tissot.
Professional networks: professional networks will allow you to exchange with other professionals, allowing you to have other opinions and to adapt HR work. CMRH and ANDRH are a very good site for this, allowing you to then meet other professionals.
Media: media such as L'Écho, L'Express or Le Journal du Net (or the Neobrain blog) will allow you to have more general information, but also testimonies and interviews with professionals, and to be kept up to date with the biggest changes.
Other monitoring: other monitoring directly affects this legal aspect and is still important in HR, such as occupational health and safety monitoring. The official ANACT website will allow you to keep yourself informed at this level.
