Insight into how global issues are impacting people professionals in the UK and Ireland
This report gives a snapshot of the current HR landscape in the UK and Ireland. We explore people professionals’ perceptions of the trends impacting their work, the challenges and opportunities these bring, and how they feel about their careers and working lives amidst these changes.
Against a backdrop of economic instability, advancing technology and new models of working, we explore how UK and Irish people professionals are responding and adapting, and give recommendations on how practitioners can navigate the challenges they are facing.
This report forms part of our international research on the profession. In 2023, we surveyed people professionals in nine countries across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia-Pacific, to understand regional priorities, and the commonalities and contrasts that practitioners face across the world. Our series of reports also includes findings from separate research in Canada, carried out by the Chartered Professionals in Human Resources Canada (CPHR Canada), which give a comparative view of the opportunities and challenges faced by people professionals in this region.
By taking the pulse of the profession internationally, and building on our previous reports, our findings reflect the CIPD’s ongoing commitment to provide an informed view on how we can collaborate globally, develop professional capital within the industry and build HR functions that are future-fit across different regions and markets.
