A very integral trend that will continue to be crucial in the coming year will be training. But there will be a shift in focus, as training will now work towards catering to on-demand performance as the new workforce will be exposed to dynamic business scenarios, which will require trainers to do different things. Reliance on traditional training will considerably reduce.

Along with training, performance management will also witness a change and it will get democratized and will be owned by line managers as a result.

Talent attraction will emerge as a key trend as talent movement/attrition increases in the young workforce. This will require organizations to invest more on building their employer brand to attract the right talent and also to retain the existing ones.
