Suzanne Tricker of Lincoln-based Amica HR looks forward to 2018.

1. As of May 2018, the new data protection regulations will be implemented, significantly changing the way HR collect and store personal data industry wide. It will require a complete review of policies and procedures on handling employee information, resulting in one of the biggest changes of the year.

2. The formation of the workforce is ever changing. Having a workforce made up of permanent, on-site employees isn’t always the most effective structure. Over the next year, Human Resource companies and departments will have to broaden their approach to employees to include the increasing amount of remote and casual workers. Brushing up on how this effects employees’ rights can help to ease the transition.

3. Automation is always a hot-button issue for Human Resources. Fears of job redundancy can often get in the way of seeing the potential benefits of introducing more technology into the workplace. The coming year should see HR embrace computer systems, especially talent analytics, to bring effective people management into the present day.
