About

Everything has changed. For Businesses. For Leaders. For Employees. And as things came to become normal, one thing that has become clear is that the “Power has shifted”. From profits to mutual prosperity. From organizations to people. From “me” to “we”. Disruptive innovations have created new industries and business models, by simply destroying the old ones. New technologies, data analytics and social networks have gained importance in how people communicate, collaborate and work. As generations collide, workforces are becoming more diverse. Many of the roles and job titles of tomorrow will be ones we’ve not even thought of yet. Thus, how are these developments going to affect the talent of your business needs? How can you attract, retain and motivate employees? How is HR going to change? What will the relationships between employers and employees look like in the future?

Challenges in HR

  • Quenching Employee Pressure in Time of Uncertainty

    As a majer of fact, we have been experiencing a tremendous change in times with rapidly evolving markets as global influence become more popular. Furthermore, in recent times, one of the major challenges post the pandemic is of lack of job security among employees. For most of the employees their mental health crisis has seen a never-ending challenge. HR leaders have to deal with many issues such as ensuring active engagement of employees, the need to foster social interaction and transparency on layoffs

  • Delivering On Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Promises

    Organizations have spoken highly about adoption and involvement of D&I over the past few years by declaring their commitment to diversity and equitable treatment of all employees. Now, the challenge for many HR leaders is shifting from making promises to delivering concrete diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts

  • Improving Operational Efficiencies

    We have seen leading companies breaking down silos and leaving business-as-usual in the dust. From vanishing boundaries like hierarchies to increase in decision-making speed, from acceleration in innovation to using technology in ways no one thought possible. HR departments are facing to hardwire the adrenaline-fueled operational efficiencies forged during the pandemic into new operating models

  • Making Remote Work, Work

    In the coming years, remote work is here to stay and rise, whether it’s fully remote or a hybrid model. Organizations have invested in technology that helps employees to work and collaborate remotely, but challenges remain. HR leaders need a social cohesion to continually update remote working policies as we move into future and beyond.

The 5 Strategic Priorities for the Future of HR

  • Agile Practices: Innovation is the key for any organizational strategic growth. HR professionals are seeking talent outside of HR trained in agile work practices. From iterative thinking to creating minimal viable products, from mapping employee journey to driving a human centered approach is the new agile practice for HR
  • Digitizing HR: As digital transformation has gained momentum organizations have started using technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality and digital nudges to personalize all aspects of the employee life cycle. Furthermore, digitizing HR not only drives innovation but also helps in solving business problems.
  • Employee Well-being: HR are now more concerned of their employee’s health and well- being. From organizing various engaging activities to ensuring their safety, organizations are trying to maintain a work life balance between work and home.
  • Diversity, Inclusion & Equity: Organizations have realized that the real action, investment and accountability is needed around DEI. Every HR leader is now undertaking new measures such as defining metrics for DEI, examining compensation for pay equity, specifying inclusive behaviors for DEI and forming new partnership to broaden the talent pool and tap diverse talent.
  • Employee Experience: The employee experience has forever changed. The experience simply means the employee’s holistic perception of the relationship with their employing organization derived from all the encounters at various touchpoints during the employee’s journey with company. From employees working full time in office to professionals who are part of the new hybrid workplace, HR leaders need to imply a very different employee-centric approach.
