Building on the Q2 Top 10 Work Trend Round-Ups, our Trend Champions have curated several new highlights in our 2022 Q3 Round-Ups.

You will find several remarkable observations, among others, about the looming recession and its effect on I-O psychology in Trends 4 and 6; some constructive advice about attracting and retaining talent in Trend 4; the role and effects of “quiet quitting” in Trends 1, 3, 6, and 9; the progressive insights and view on neurodivergence and diversity biases in Trend 2; the translation of previous advice into interventions to affect DEI behaviors in Trend 8, allostatic overload and emotional detachment at work in Trend 7; and workplace mental health toolkits in Trend 9.

Top 10 Work Trends 2022 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 came 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, and Q2 Round-Ups were shared in July. Several of the Top 10 Work Trends were also discussed at the 2022 SIOP Annual Conference.
