Covering eight regions across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, this survey report provides insights on current HR working practices across the world and people professionals’ perceptions of their careers and working lives.

Against a backdrop of unprecedented circumstances, including the aftermath of the global pandemic and its subsequent economic impact, we look at the effect on the profession, and the challenges and opportunities for the future world of work.

This new international report follows on from our 2022 UK and Ireland report by analysing and comparing what workforce priorities exist for organisations across the globe, what’s driving change, how people teams are operating and what their priorities are for improving capability. We also explore the sentiment of people professionals: how they perceive the strategic value of the profession, their own careers and how they are developing their skills to adapt to future ways of working.

By taking the pulse of the profession internationally, these findings – based on data collected in 2022 – allow us to understand regional priorities, and the nuances of people practice across our selected markets. This provides us with an informed view on how we can collaborate in a global world, develop professional capital within the industry and build HR functions that are future-fit across different regions and markets.

The CIPD recognises the importance of understanding the sentiment of the people profession globally. This report reflects our ongoing commitment and investment in developing our insights in this space.
