The annual HR departments research<\/a> surveyed HR professionals on a wide range of topics, including skills gaps in the profession, the adoption of AI and key challenges facing HR teams. Beyond organisational priorities, we also explored the individual perspectives of HR professionals, uncovering personal experiences of working in the profession and highlighting trends that vary by seniority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research was completed by a range of individuals, with senior HR professionals (eg directors and heads of HR) making up 58% of the sample. Beyond job level, the majority of respondents have more than 10 years of working within HR, and close to half (45.5%) have more than 20 years of experience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
