2025 is around the corner, and HR trends are coming in thick and fast. 💥 Here’s what you should be ready for: 🔑 A holistic focus on employee wellbeing. Mental health needs to be at the heart of your strategy, proactively addressing the needs of your workforce – inside and outside of the office. 🧠 Neurodiversity and accessibility are non-negotiable. Building a truly inclusive workplace means embracing diverse perspectives and creating an environment where everyone can thrive. ⚖️ With new workplace regulations on the horizon, it’s no longer enough to rely on outdated policies. Proactive change is essential for staying compliant and building trust. 🤖 AI needs ethical leadership, not just innovation. AI is here to stay, but without clear governance and a focus on ethics, it can do more harm than good. Get your strategy in place now. 🏢 The hybrid model is sticking around, but it’s not one-size-fits-all. You need to find what works for your team, balancing flexibility with culture to keep employees happy, yet aligned.

Cue the most unusual shaker styles known to humankind, and our winners (Team Awesome, featuring Sarah and Lisa) were crowned. 🏆 Next, we made our way back to Hotel Du Vin Cambridge where we cracked open the fizz and celebrated our wonderful humans with oomph at our values awards. And the winners were… 🌀 Always future focused: Jess Santos 🚀 Go the extra mile: Emily Chubb and Fi Barnes ✳️ Work as one team: Kim Hopkins ⭐ Fairness over equity: Javier Alonso-Fernandez Then it was off to Market House Cambridge for a dinner we’ll be dreaming about for weeks, followed by champagne and chats back at the hotel.
