When focusing on Strategy for example, there seems to be a critical need for organizations to find a balance between their on-site business needs and the needs of their employees who desire remote flexibility. Still, while employers certainly need to consider employee needs and preferences, they must also ensure that they are adequately addressing business needs. Has your organization implemented any of these strategies for enticing employees back into the workplace, as needed, for business-critical tasks?

• Craft a back-to-work strategy 
• Offer a place of community
• Motivate by using rewards and recognition 
• Communicate consistently, with transparency
• Focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to represent all employees
• Incorporate change management strategies

Aligning HR priorities with ever-changing business goals in 2022 really boils down to focusing on the employees and their needs.
