The prime focus of the list is a leader and management of effectiveness, however, most of the Human Resources will also be prioritizing change management, employee experience, recruitment and work future. Human Resource leaders must manage the investment in people and technology for cultivating a positive culture and employee experience, and transformation of human resources for being more automated and digital and new employee expectations for impacting retention and attraction. The survey responses state the top priorities which include -:

1.Leader & Manager Effectiveness

These three imperatives that are representing a new call leadership include Human Leadership. While Human Resource leaders are trying to build a commitment, courage and confidence in leadership for helping in call answering, human leadership remains impeccable. Leadership is required with not a Human Resource approach that does not address the barriers holding leaders back. The obstacles are included their own very human emotions of doubt, fear and uncertainty. For helping, leaders deliver on the requirement for human leadership and preparation for the work future and recognise their humanity and directly address the emotional barriers.

Typical career development follows three steps which are -:
·Setting a trajectory and communicating role benefits and requirements.
·Finding in role opportunities for potential new roles.
·Identifying internal roles to achieve goals. The roadway is not congested and the work experience is changing and career options are not visible with no time alignment in offices presentation skills are becoming obsolete and employees are not prepared for future roles and the present options do not represent employee needs as people rethink the work role and the present new career imperatives for Human Resource leaders for the creation of best-fit careers for employees.

Workforce planning and anticipation of future talent are requisite which is at the primus of a future work strategy. It is a top priority for Human Resource leaders while at present workforce planning is disconnected from reality and current strategies are ineffective at combating the disruptive landscape.
