Human Resources can’t expect to keep up with a changing world by standing still. HR professionals need to equip their operations, and themselves, to function in a rapidly changing global environment.
HR transformation is necessary in a changing global business environment. How can core HR processes like recruitment, succession, and performance management be made more efficient and effective? How can HR become a valuable business partner, central to strategy discussions? It’s all part of HR transformation.
The world today is requiring a new kind of HR and these are just some of the key drivers of change:
A leaner team: Employee service centres, self-service and enhanced technology — along with increased outsourcing of operations, strategy and design activities — will decrease the size of the HR function as organisations are pressured to do more with less. We will see smaller staff sizes with clearly defined roles. Investments in HR will focus on closing the skill gaps in key areas.
Talent strategists: HR management will lead the strategic identification, development and retention of talent with simple and streamlined processes and systems. HR will guide managers in talent decisions, equipping them with a clear understanding of their key players through metrics and helping them determine the best course of action by modelling possible interventions and their implications. Data-driven insights will underpin success in this area.
Innovation: HR will position itself to anticipate how work and employee relationships are changing, and will be the first to adapt and respond. HR leaders will change policies/programs and leverage strategic partnerships and technology to support the business.
Technology leaders: HR leaders will understand and embrace technology with a willingness and ability to use data to drive business decisions. HR will be ahead of the HR technology market and play the HR technology strategist role in close collaboration with IT.
Employee experience designers: HR will lead in applying B2C customer experience concepts to the employee experience in order to create an environment where your people want to come and do their best work, and stay. New capabilities in human-centred design and service design will become core to HR’s approach to servicing the organisation.
Many obstacles get in the way of HR success: reorganisations, M&A, talent shortages, budget pressures, employee demands, and disruptive new technologies. But at Mercer, we don’t just want you to react to these issues — we want your HR team to be a high-performance HR of the future and become an essential business function leading the way in delivering business results.
