HR is long overdue for an overhaul and the demand for transformation is higher today than ever. Recent workplace trends are putting more pressure on HR to demonstrate its value to the business. But process should follow purpose. HR needs to understand where it’s coming from before it can articulate a new people-first proposition. This demands an honest evaluation of today’s HR service portfolio and user experience along with tomorrow’s business needs. The key is balancing economics with empathy.
When it comes to priorities for the HR function, adapting to new ways of working is top of mind so HR teams will have to become more agile. Accelerating programmes for flexibility, hard-wiring culture into workforce transformation plans and HR’s digitalisation are also high up on the agenda.
Enhancing the employee experience is another key driver for HR transformation, which matters in the near and long term. Research from Mercer’s Global Talent Trends Study shows energised employees are more resilient, more likely to stay, and more ready to reskill – all vital to helping businesses thrive.
