I’m taking a slightly different approach to the Friday Five this week. Instead of looking for five think pieces or five trending news stories, I thought I’d see what you all think will be the big HR trends of 2017 and then highlight some of the most compelling predictions. From big data, to diversity, to fixing toxic workplace cultures once and for all, you’ve made some exciting and thoughtful predictions.
Here is your Friday Five:
Big Data and AI
Big data has been one of the top HR trends for years now, hasn’t it?

At the same time, HR will work with existing employees to refine their performance — not through targets or performance management rubric, but through engagement and coaching strategies. Data driven? Probably.

In addition to the rise of Gen Z, Steffen Meier says that fixing toxic company culture and management practices will be a major trend for HR in 2017 as well as learning to accommodate more and more contingent workers.
