2022 Top 10 Work Trends Background
At the end of 2021, SIOP members identified a list of the expected and predicted 2022 Top 10 Work Trends. The identified trends ranged from multifaced and complex to more focused. Some of their origins come from the distress of a global pandemic and critical social issues in 2020. The trends were announced in January. In February, we introduced the Trend Champions, selected to monitor the latest developments in research and practice on each of these trends throughout the year. Q1 Round-Ups were shared in April. Several of the Top 10 Work Trends were also discussed at the 2022 SIOP Annual Conference.
