According to a Cegos study, 74 % of HR Directors say their function has become more strategic since the Covid-19 crisis. And rightly so: HR teams now have to manage an ever-growing set of key challenges, such as improving employee well-being, managing psychosocial risks, and organizing hybrid work.
To respond effectively to these changes, HR professionals need to keep learning and stay informed about developments, trends, and best practices in their field through regular HR monitoring.
So what resources should you use to build an effective HR monitoring practice? Podcasts, blogs, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts… Discover our selection of the 23 best resources to integrate into your monitoring to keep attracting and retaining top talent.
