In response to these evolving expectations, businesses are investing in less formal educational toolkits for employees that promote workplace wellbeing, transparency and sustainable practices. ## The consumer insight behind the Employee Toolkits trend With remote or hybrid work now being commonplace, corporate culture is more casual than ever before. This shift partially reflects cultural changes like "anti-work" sentiment, where more people are likely to leave jobs that don't align with their lifestyles, or that don't prioritize professional development. Adapting to these changing expectations with more expansive training, wellbeing programs and benefits helps avoid high turnover rates. ## At a Glance - Evidence: 5 featured examples - Articles from: Dec 2, 2021 to Jul 26, 2023 - Published: Aug 21, 2023 - Patterns: [Redirection](https://www.trendhunter.com/pattern/redirection) - Megatrends: [Authenticity](https://www.trendhunter.com/megatrend/authenticity) ## Audience - Gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Themes within the Employee Toolkits trend ### Humor-Based Toolkits 'Humor, Seriously' is a new comprehensive humor-based toolkit for digital workplace learning that encourages workplaces to be less serious while being equal or greater in efficiency. ### Sustainable Fashion Toolkits Fashion Takes Action's sustainable fashion toolkit is a great resource for designers looking to incorporate eco-friendly practices into their sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution. ### Eco-Conscious Employee Training Les Nouveaux Géants offers immersive courses for eco-conscious employee training, empowering individuals to create more sustainable operational practices within their workplace. ## What the Employee Toolkits trend means for industry ### For Digital Learning 'Humor, Seriously' disrupts the traditional workplace learning landscape by leveraging humor and promoting a less serious work environment. ### For Fashion Fashion Takes Action's sustainable fashion toolkit disrupts the industry by providing designers with curated resources to adopt eco-friendly practices. ### For Employee Training Les Nouveaux Géants disrupts traditional employee training methods by offering immersive courses that focus on empowering individuals to drive sustainability within their workplaces. ## Workshop question How can your brand offer employee resources that better reflect their areas of interest or need? ## Trend signals for Employee Toolkits Trend score 3.0 out of 10, from popularity 45%, activity 27%, freshness 17%. - Popularity: 45% - Activity: 27% - Freshness: 17% ## Examples of the Employee Toolkits trend 5 featured examples from Dec 2, 2021 to Jul 26, 2023. - [Upskilling AI Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genpact-and-microsoft): Genpact and Microsoft Have Joined Forces in a Strategic Collaboration (Category: Tech) Implication: The collaboration between Genpact and Microsoft presents disruptive innovation opportunities in utilizing generative AI capabilities to drive enterprise efficiencies across variou… - [Online Sustainable Fashion Toolkits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-fashion-toolkit): Fashion Takes Action Features an Important Resource (Category: Eco) Implication: Fashion companies can utilize this online platform to access resources that help them create eco-friendly and sustainable fashion products. - [Employee Wellness Resources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flimp-communications): Flimp Communications Debuts the New 'Employee Wellness Toolkit' (Category: Business) Implication: Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leverage technology and data in the healthtech industry to create innovative platforms, apps, and wearable devices that promote employee wellnes… - [Immersive Eco-Conscious Employee Training](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoconscious-employee-training): Les Nouveaux Géants Attempts to Revolutionize Training (Category: Eco) Implication: Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leverage technology to offer virtual sustainability consulting services to businesses, guiding them in implementing eco-conscious practices. - [Comprehensive Humor-Based Toolkits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humor-based-toolkits): 'Humor, Seriously' is a New Digital Learning Kit for Workplaces (Category: Tech) Implication: The workplace learning industry can benefit from incorporating more humor-based toolkits and services that prioritize relationship-building and creativity. ## Recent trend clusters - [Autonomous Merchandising](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/autonomous-merchandising) (Business) - [Autumn Teasers](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/autumn-teasers) (Business) - [Errand Leisure](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/errand-leisure) (Business) - [Expressive Timekeeping](https://www.trendhunter.com/protrends/expressive-timekeeping) (Fashion) ## Trending in Business - [Performance-Based Creator Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creator-ad-platforms) - [Repairable Hardshell Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sperro-sv) - [Mini Beauty Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-luxuries-store) - [Natural Deodorant Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-beauty-studios) All articles: [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business)
