The Workplace After 2024: Politics, Technology, and the Future of Work (HR Roundtable at 2PM)
Several workplace trends are projected based on the presidential election outcome. These trends highlight the need for employers to navigate a complicated political and social landscape while addressing worker preferences and technological advancements.
Increased political tensions: 70% of managers are concerned about escalating political conflicts in the workplace in response to the election. Conflicts and incivility are on the rise more than ever before. How might this increase post-election?
A 2020 workplace survey found that managers spend approximately 25 to 60 percent of their productive time, and employees spend 2.8 hours per week dealing with conflict.
