It’s A Wrap!
Wow, 2023 is already saying goodbye in the blink of an eye!
But before we part ways with 2023 and call it a wrap, let’s look at some of the major predictions that didn’t happen.
Remember on the 11th of January 2023, the World Economic Forum stated certain crises that could lead to a huge global recession in 2023.
Well on a general note, the economy fought back and we somehow managed to escape that. Do you think we’re headed for a recession in 2024?
Then FinanceBuzz was sure struggling companies like Twitter wouldn’t survive till the end of 2023. Good thing Elon Musk is still standing strong on Twitter despite all the clapbacks.
So with all these in place, most CEOs are strategizing for 2024 and their key focus is on these 8 areas, number 8 will probably surprise you.
Also, these are the latest 2024 predictions, do you believe they would actually happen?

Corporate Team and Culture
Holiday Benefits
One thing most employees are looking forward to this season is a holiday/Christmas bonus.
Who doesn't love a holiday bonus? Whether it's some extra cash, a day off, or a gift, getting a bonus from your employer can make you feel appreciated and valued.
But did you know that employee benefits are not just good for you, but also for your organization? In today's competitive job market, having a strong benefits package can make your organization stand out from the crowd and appeal to potential candidates.
You can use this insight to come up with a perfect holiday benefit or see this to come up with party ideas.
Learn from the Best
Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we’ve ever known.
- Ronald Reagan, 40th U.S President
Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person - not just an employee - are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled. Satisfied employees mean satisfied customers, which leads to profitability.
