Between navigating the changing economic environment, addressing new attraction and retention trends, and balancing day-to-day operations, 2024 will likely be a busy and challenging year for HR professionals. So, now is the time for HR teams to prepare their organizations and employees for 2024. Creating a calendar of reminders will allow HR professionals to be more organized and productive throughout the year.
HR teams often must prioritize certain activities, such as ensuring organizational compliance, overseeing training and development, and developing compensation and benefits strategies, making it difficult to actively focus on other workplace initiatives and improvements. However, HR professionals don’t need to tackle all these tasks at the same time. By taking a step back and establishing priorities, HR teams can strategically approach this year’s activities.
This calendar serves as a springboard for HR professionals and provides a topic or activity to consider visiting each month of 2024.
