Talent management

In today's rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, one thing is clear: companies that fail to embrace digital transformation risk being left behind. As factories become smarter and more connected, the question isn't whether to digitalise—it's how quickly you can adapt your workforce strategy to keep pace with technological change. 

As we head into 2025, HR professionals face a rapidly evolving landscape where AI, workforce demands, and sustainability will play increasingly critical roles. How do we balance AI’s potential with human capabilities and strengths? What frameworks ensure responsible AI use? And how can HR meet rising expectations amid a shrinking workforce, while still working to embed sustainability into core practices?

In our Perfect Match research, we uncovered three critical areas where HR teams often face mismatches in priorities and expectations among different stakeholders: HR digitalisation, talent management, and flexible working.

Interview with Lieve Blancquaert on the meaning of work and the power of Europe 

We are Europe. It could just be SD Worx's new slogan, given its ambition to be the leading European HR player. But it is the title of Lieve Blancquaert's new exhibition, in which the Belgian photographer takes us on a trip across Europe. A book about it will be published under the same name and from 5 March a documentary series will run on VRT Canvas. It is about Europe, people and importance of working together. With the content’s focus, SD Worx saw a project with an important social value and got on board. It will use some images from “We are Europe” in its Navigator reports based on its own European research on payroll and HR. Lieve Blancquaert came for coffee in the Ghent SD Worx office, close to where she lives to explain more about the content’s meaning and story.
