1. AI is revolutionizing recruitment

2024 saw the rise of AI in recruitment, but some nervousness in Northern Europe when it came to its use in recruitment given the looming EU AI act. Today, and into 2025, artificial intelligence will become essential for screening candidates, predicting performance, and reducing hiring biases. 

Businesses leveraging AI-powered recruitment tools save time while finding the right fit faster. 

2. Real-time data improves workforce planning

Accurate data is critical to staffing success. By using tools to track attendance and productivity, companies can plan shifts more efficiently, reduce labor costs, and avoid overstaffing or understaffing. Our unrivalled planning features simplify, streamline and automate planning like never before. 

3. Upskilling boosts employee satisfaction

With technology evolving, businesses must invest in upskilling and reskilling their workforce. Offering development opportunities not only meets industry demands but also keeps employees motivated and loyal. 

According to a report by the World Economic Forum, 50% of all employees will need reskilling by 2025 due to automation and digital transformation.

"The future workforce is about adaptability. Companies that prioritize continuous learning will lead the way in innovation and retention." — Josh Bersin, HR Industry Analyst.

4. Data-driven hiring enhances decision-making 

Hiring decisions based on gut instinct are becoming obsolete. According to LinkedIn’s Global Talent Trends Report, data-driven recruitment leads to better hiring outcomes, reduced turnover, and improved workforce planning. Companies that leverage AI-driven analytics to assess talent pools, forecast staffing needs, and personalize candidate outreach see higher success rates.

5. Temporary staffing grows with gig economy trends

The gig economy continues to expand, and on-demand staffing solutions are more critical than ever. According to McKinsey, 36% of the workforce in the U.S. engages in some form of independent work. 

"On-demand work models give businesses the agility they need while providing workers with more flexibility and earning opportunities." — Sarah Horowitz, Founder, Freelancers Union

Platforms like Job&Talent Business provide real-time temp staffing capabilities, enabling you to scale your workforce quickly and efficiently.

6. Diversity and inclusion drive success

Diverse teams foster creativity and innovation. A study by McKinsey found that companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to have higher financial returns than their peers. 

Companies prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) not only improve employee satisfaction but also achieve better business results.

7. Employee well-being programs retain top talent

Mental health and work-life balance are non-negotiables for today’s workforce. Businesses offering robust well-being programs, flexible schedules, and supportive workplace policies have a better chance of retaining high-performing teams.

"Companies that genuinely care about employee well-being see higher engagement, productivity, and loyalty." — Arianna Huffington, Founder, Thrive Global.

8. Automation reduces administrative workload

From scheduling to payroll, automation streamlines repetitive tasks. This not only improves efficiency but also allows teams to focus on strategic priorities like employee engagement and performance improvement. 

According to Gartner, 80% of HR leaders believe automation will transform their roles by 2025.

9. Employer branding is key to attracting workers

Standing out in a competitive labor market requires strong employer branding. By showcasing your values, culture, and benefits, you can attract high-quality candidates and build a loyal workforce. 

Glassdoor reports that 75% of job seekers consider an employer’s brand before applying.

"A strong employer brand is a magnet for talent. It defines not just who you are, but why employees should choose you." — Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin Group.

10. Sustainability matters to job seekers

Employees increasingly seek companies committed to environmental and social responsibility. 

Highlighting your sustainability initiatives can enhance your brand and attract purpose-driven talent. PwC recently stated that 65% of workers want to work for a company with strong environmental policies.
