Future of the job: 5 trends that employees have to pay attention to in 2025!

A dark shadow over the labor market: According to Radio Herford, Radio Herford experts could become an increasingly insecure year for employees. Indiets such as the automotive and chemical industry are particularly affected, in which companies gain the upper hand again. Claudia Michalski, chair of the specialist association outplacement, warns that the former employee market disappears and that job seekers have to adapt to longer application processes and increasing requirements. The return to the office is becoming increasingly the norm, and terminations are suddenly on the agenda; This causes unrest among employees.

Not all developments are dark. Wolfram Tröger, Vice President of the BDU, emphasizes that there are also sectors in which the demand for talents continues to boom, as in engineering or artificial intelligence (AI). These changes have new requirements: Soft skills are becoming more important than ever, and technological skills are a must. The ability to use AI efficiently could be crucial for the preservation of job security. A higher minimum wage of 12.82 euros could also benefit the financial situation of many low earners, according to the analysts.

artificial intelligence in focus

According to the Institute of German Economy (IW), the employment effects are often underestimated by AI. A study shows that the integration of AI technologies such as chatbots in companies in Germany does not necessarily lead to job losses. The IW scientists have examined whether and how AI affects personnel development. The results indicate that in many cases AI adds human work rather than replaced. However, research is still in the beginning, and it is clear that more data about the specific applications are needed to be able to make well -founded statements.

Overall, it becomes clear that the labor market will face major challenges in the coming years, not least through technological developments and changing market conditions. The ability to adapt flexibly to these changes could be the key to success for the employees of the future.
