Although undoubtedly the biggest breakthrough in the labor market in 2023 was the popularization of artificial intelligence, this fact should rather be seen as the culmination of certain processes rather than a separate phenomenon. After all, as Bernard Marr notes in Forbes, "the world of work is constantly changing, and the concepts in which our parents and grandparents grew up, such as working from nine to five or working for a lifetime, are fading away". The driving force behind these changes are undoubtedly new technologies, but also social and demographic changes, the pandemic, and growing awareness of the impact of work on the planet.
“In 2024, we can therefore expect further development of trends that have changed our professional lives in recent years. However, the impact of breakthrough technologies (especially artificial intelligence) will be felt more than ever as the pace of their implementation accelerates. The wave of digitization will affect everyone, even those outside the advanced technology industries and technology-focused positions” - adds Marr.
Which trends should we expect to develop in 2024?

The most important of them is of course the increasingly common use of generative artificial intelligence. However, according to Forbes' predictions, this technology itself should not pose a threat to jobs. Its unfamiliarity - yes.
“People who can use AI will replace those who can't,” we read in the magazine.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, as in 2024, other future skills will also be in demand. Among them are awareness of digital threats, the ability to make decisions based on data, as well as empathy and openness to diversity when working in multicultural teams scattered around the world. Separate issues will also include awareness of the impact of work on the environment and the ability to adapt to sustainable organizational practices, as well as the need for continuous improvement of one's qualifications.
Some trends will also focus on the employees themselves. According to Forbes, in 2024, companies will focus more on closing wage gaps and opening up to diversity, as well as caring for the mental well-being and personal development of their staff. This will be especially necessary in the context of the so-called "decentralized workplace", which is increasingly less often an office, and more and more often becomes any place in the world.
