About SHRM We Know Next

Today’s business landscape is evolving rapidly, and companies adapt to change faster when they can see what’s coming next. SHRM's weknownext.com is a resource where business executives, policymakers and human resource leaders can explore and discuss trends shaping the future of work, including:

  • Companies embracing workplace flexibility, decreasing turnover and augmenting business growth
  • Baby boomers retiring in record numbers, making succession planning and knowledge transfer increasingly important
  • Growing workforce diversity, creating new challenges and opportunities for both large and small employers

At the center of these changes are human resource professionals, who work directly with the most senior levels of management to forecast and manage workforce changes that impact business. As people strategists, HR professionals are at the forefront of what’s next, focused on strategically positioning their companies for success. HR professionals know that the best way to adapt to change is to develop people—because people drive change.
