AUSTRALIAN WORKPLACE CULTURE TRENDS 2025

This Report: Australian Workplace Culture Trends 2025, developed by our workplace experts at Humanify HR Consulting (‘Humanify HR’) provides insights on the culture trends that will dominate the strategic people agenda in 2025.

It draws on best-practice research, thought-leadership and our contemporary ‘on-the-ground’ experience we have at Humanify HR, working in partnership with some of Australia’s best leaders and organisations to help them create excellent workplaces.

High performance organisations are constantly learning, experimenting and adapting to the complexity of the modern workplace and world.

We have seen in 2024 financial pressure, technological advancement, global instability and social and political change all continue to impact the way our organisations operate and how our people ‘show-up’ to work. Looking ahead to 2025, particularly in Australia as we head into an election year, our workplaces will need to continue to adapt to complexity in all forms.

These are the key trends that will shape Australian workplaces in 2025:

KEY WORKPLACE CULTURE TRENDS IN 2025

Intentional Culture: Leveraging culture intentionally and strategically.

Artificial Intelligence: Removing fear and barriers around the use of AI, including considering the impacts of psychosocial risk in AI use.

Modern Leadership: Developing modern leadership capability.

Strengthening Governance: Improving governance and accountability around people related decision making.

Back to the Office: Transitioning from remote/hybrid to more connected ‘in-person’ models of work.

As we enter 2025, Humanify HR remains committed to fulfilling our purpose of working as a trusted partner with our clients as we navigate the complexity of the modern workplace – together.
