Abstract
The war for talent in the labour market is making it difficult for Belgian HR departments to find sufficient suitable talent. Selection & recruitment was therefore their absolute top priority in 2021, and employer branding, engagement and retention also gained significantly in importance. Belgian HR managers are fairly optimistic and full of confidence in their own skills when it comes to the new way of working and the future. Although the physical workplace remains important, far-reaching investments have already been made in the areas of teleworking and hybrid working methods. However, there is still work to be done when it comes to preparing the workforce for new and future skills. These are the main findings of the 8th edition of the HR Barometer. This annual survey by Vlerick Business School and Hudson surveys the HR managers of the 200 largest Belgian employers and examines their HR challenges and HR trends. This year, special attention was paid to the ‘Future of Work’ theme. 115 companies from different sectors participated in the survey. Selection & recruitment is the absolute top priority
The top 3 priorities for Belgian HR departments over the past year are selection & recruitment, engagement and well-being. Selection & recruitment in particular has seen a significant increase compared to the previous year. This is all because of the very tight labour market, as a result of which HR is increasingly struggling to ensure a smooth influx of new talent.
