Shaping the future of HR Management: digital, flexible and people-centric

Technological innovation, societal transformation, and global crises make one thing clear: HR Management is undergoing a fundamental shift. According to PwC’s trend barometer People Management 2035, businesses must take action today to remain competitive tomorrow. New Work models, digital competencies, strategic thinking and a sustainable company culture are the key success factors for the future.

The HR Agenda for 2035: What Really Matters?
The findings from PwC’s study are clear:

  • 98% of respondents believe that employee development and skills management will be the most important HR function by 2035.
  • 97% consider digital literacy and strategic thinking to be essential competencies for the future.
  • 77% expect flexible working hours to become the standard by 2035.
  • 70% of companies aim to establish a culture that promotes resilience.

Tomorrow’s working world must be digital, flexible and people-centric. Companies that invest today in upskilling, technology, and cultural change will gain a clear competitive advantage.
