Growing Pains

Unveiling the impact of the economic downturn on HR in Australia

Phew! It’s been a rough one. Australia has not been immune to the effects of the economic downturn, and HR has been met with some of their biggest challenges in over a decade. 

But what does this mean?

  • Is the gender pay gap widening?
  • What are the impacts of these challenges on mental health and company culture?
  • How has job security been affected?
  • What are the most in-demand roles and skills right now?
  • How do we bridge the gap between HR priorities and management priorities?

We were curious — these are questions that impact employees, HR and the wider organisation. Our new report Growing Pains draws on answers from over 400 HR professionals working in modern, mid-sized, and multi-site organisations in Australia.

Filled with valuable insights and data on key priorities for HR, we hope you will find this report useful when devising a strategy to navigate the uncertain economic landscape ahead.
