Written by Leanne Kelly | November 12, 2020

2020 has been a year like no other. This year, more so than any other in living memory, HR teams have been faced with a very different set of challenges. Almost overnight, businesses went remote, policies and procedures had to be rewritten and HR teams found themselves front and centre in responding to a global pandemic.

But what has been clear is that HR teams have really found their feet. What were once considered temporary ways of working, are now starting to evolve into better ways of working, and there's a sense of optimism about 2021.
