As we move into 2022, many people from my network are asking, what will it bring? From life in general, to COVID-19, Innovation, Markets, FM itself and much more.
This made me think, what do I actually want it to bring for me. So, in short, here goes…
- The end of the COVID pandemic – period!
- The continuation of teamwork and collaboration. Amongst others, one great thing on the back of the pandemic is how people, networks and businesses came together to help each other. Long may this continue.
- The industry, and world is in a severe recruitment crisis. Aside from the need for this to improve, understanding from all parties on the difficulties we all face is crucial.
- Continuation of digitisation leading the way for compliance and employee health and well-being.
- The rise of cobotics. Business to really invest in automation, not to replace people, but to support them.
- Increased in-person networking. Ultimately, we are a people business, this simply can’t be lost.
- For more and more people to really focus on having a true work-life balance. It really does improve productivity in the workplace, and generally leads to healthier, happier employees!
