Reflection through journaling provides concrete evidence of one’s evolving thought processes, documenting valuable insights and understanding. Often, more is learned through reflection than from the experience itself. After working through the activities throughout this course, conduct your own research to determine some future challenges and trends that Human Resources will be relied upon to help organizations navigate. Summarize the trend and outline how you will use what you’ve learned in this course to help an organization navigate challenges associated with that trend. Finally, address how that trend or challenge will impact the employee experience in the organization, as well as your career as an HR professional.
