Demand is strongest for HR advisory and generalist roles (16%), followed by HR business partners (11%) and HR administration (10%). At the same time, demand for WHS and wellbeing capability is increasing, driven by legislative change and a stronger focus on psychosocial risk and mental health, creating greater overlap between safety functions and the HR generalist role.
