“HR news is extremely dense, with short-term but also structural topics”, summarizes Benoît Serre, deputy vice-president of the National Association of Human Resources Directors (ANDRH). During the month of September, the ANDRH took the pulse of its some 5,000 members, by conducting a back-to-school survey of 462 HRDs from companies in all sectors and of different sizes.
With the start of the new school year, labor shortages remain a top concern: 88% of companies surveyed are having difficulty recruiting. To limit the latter, three-quarters of HR managers say they use a recruitment firm, and 72% say they are working on their ” employer brand “ to make potential candidates more interested in joining them.
As for the employees present in the company, the human resources managers are concerned about the social climate, in a context of inflation, pension reform and the perpetuation of hybrid work. 39% of respondents anticipate a deterioration in social relations in their entity, knowing that a quarter of them have no opinion on the subject. “There is great uncertainty about the social climate, it will depend on the busy newsjudge Audrey Richard, the president of the ANDRH.

More specifically, only 18% of HRDs indicate that they have changed their calendar this year (for example by two months, in October rather than in December).
The association, on the other hand, mentioned the success of the exceptional value-sharing bonus, “a popular tool that makes it possible to meet expectations and offset a subject of inflation, without increasing the costs”, according to Benoit Serre. 43% of employers paid it in 2021, 40% pay it in 2022.
The other compensation tools have had variable success: 52% of companies have set up profit-sharing, but 75% are not considering an employee shareholding system. On the takeover of the RTTs, made possible this summer, the Deputy Vice-President urges caution: “HRDs tell us that we have to be careful, because some employees will accumulate them to receive a large sum… We have to be careful not to pay for this with an imbalance between professional life and private life. »
