Background
At the end of 2022, SIOP members identified a list of the expected and predicted 2023 Top 10 Work Trends. Although the identified trends were multifaced and complex, some were more focused and had their origin from the distress of a global pandemic and critical social issues in 2020 or were linked to fears of a recession, inflation, or unexpected layoffs at the turn of 2022-2023.

The trends were announced at the beginning of March. Trend Champions were then selected to monitor the latest developments in research and practice on each of these trends throughout the year. The Q1 Round-Ups, Q2 Round-Ups, and Q3 Round-Ups are available on the SIOP website.
