2025 Priorities and Predictions

What’s next for the human capital profession? 

Each year, i4cp gathers the top priorities and predictions from our executive boards, representing key HR functions—Chief HR Officers, Chief Diversity Officers, Chief Learning & Talent Officers, Heads of Talent Acquisition, People Analytics, Total Rewards, and the Future of Work. Based on their insights, here’s what i4cp analysts believe HR leaders should be prepared for in 2025: 

1. Top companies will extend their lead by operationalizing AI while low performing organizations sit on the sidelines 
2. Until companies shift their culture, efforts to scale skills-based marketplaces will stall 
3. Older workers go from overlooked to overtly courted 
4. DE&I was under fire the last couple of years. In 2025, the pressure intensifies. 

i4cp’s 2025 Priorities and Predictions report provides an in-depth look at what’s next for HR through the distinct perspective of these senior executives.
