Trends in the post-pandemic workplace.

The 2021-22 Trends Tracker report compiled by Carryn Dewig and Atka Young, is the first in a series of reports that will not only track the shifts in the world of work, but look ahead at the trends shaping the inevitable next wave of change. An important example to consider would be that of inclusion and diversity; many employees are no longer willing to work for a purpose that does not resonate with them or a company where they aren't valued as individuals. The question is however, are businesses doing enough to bridge the gap when it comes to this and what does diversity in the workplace look like in future?

In the Internal Comms Trends Tracker 2021-22, New Media’s specialist internal communications team takes a deep dive into our hybrid working reality and the new work trends that are already starting to emerge.

The world of work has never been more topical, as businesses in every sector in every part of the planet adapt to unprecedented organisational change. Leaders, HR professionals and employee communications teams are all asking: How do we keep up? How do we connect meaningfully with people in a working world in flux?
