what is the hr barometer?

The HR barometer is an annual study by the Vlerick strategic talent management centre that provides insight into the main HR priorities, challenges, and developments in Belgium.

The study identifies two dimensions:

  • 25 HR domains: which topics are strategically important for organisations and how strongly do Belgian organisations perform in those domains?
  • the current HR challenge: each year, the HR Barometer focuses on a topic that helps shape the future of HR.
