What are the main challenges facing managers and HR in 2009?

The trends are wide ranging.  Whilst restructuring seems to be getting all the media and government attention, the CIPD's Chief Economist John Philpott presents a broader view and highlights the following challenges facing HR practitioners in 2009:

• Absence management
• Employment relations
• Gen Up: How the four generations work
• Innovation in the Workplace: How are organisations responding to Generation Y employees and Web 2.0 technologies?
• Labour Market Outlook (quarterly)
• Leadership and the Management of Conflict at Work
• Learning and Development
• Recruitment, Retention and Turnover
• Reward Management
