About 47% of managers in North America surveyed during the pandemic expect a continued increase in the number of remote employees working full-time, and 53% of employees said they want to work from home more often even after the pandemic. This means that most companies will use hybrid work models, with fewer people in the office and more remotely. The pandemic has pushed HR into the center of transformation, requiring technologies to coordinate remote work, rethinking pay principles, and completely changing hiring and training models. The bold will be able to use IT to improve HR data analysis tools; the best will use artificial intelligence to improve HR policies and improve staff performance.

Trend #6. More personal data = more opportunities = more legal risks
Changes in consumer demand, innovation and the pandemic are changing the way we work and provoking employers’ desire to collect, analyze and share personal employee data. HR analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of the human capital management market. A CAGR of 16% from this market actually means that the volume of data turnover portugal number data in monetary terms will approach almost $ 1 billion by 2023. However, the growth of opportunities that personal data provides without proper guarantees will turn into a trap. So far, European regulations ensure compliance with privacy rules to protect employee personal data. It is expected that countries such as Brazil, India and Thailand will also follow the European path in this regard. And in the US, where corporate policies and practices often limit or outright deny employees the right to privacy, there are real legal battles to be fought over what is reasonable in terms of privacy. To avoid such threats, companies must adopt a transparent and ethical approach to handling employee personal data.

Forecast: Regulatory activity related to employee privacy breaches will double in 2021.

Trend #7: Remote work is driving the growth of insider threats
2020 was not a security year, and 2021 will not be either. Three main factors will create challenges for CISOs:

rapid growth in the number of "remote" users;
job insecurity of employees working remotely;
The movement of data stolen from the company is practically uncontrolled under such conditions.
Forrester recommends that companies focus on information security, as well as treating employees ethically and with care, so as not to push them down the path of malicious insider trading.

Forecast: The rate of incidents caused by insiders will increase to 33% from today's 25%.
