HR transformation lets you automate your HR function to augment your strategy and analyse complex data.

COVID-19’s impact on the global economy has transformed the work environment. Rapid reconfiguration has brought in remote work, reduced business travel and flexible work schedules. It has accelerated automation and is providing us with a glimpse of the future. Organisations positioning themselves for success amid this disruption and digital transformation will have to reinvent work from the ground up. Productivity will now be driven in a way that maintains sharp focus on people and values.

Modernising the HR Function

Additionally, the rapid advance of digital disruption leaves HR functions needing to re-establish their value to the organisation. Our Future of HR 2020 survey found that 3 in 5 HR executives from across the globe believe that the HR function will rapidly become irrelevant if it doesn’t modernise its approach to understanding and planning for the future needs of the workforce. We can see a path forward for HR – this may start with piloting a more digital experience in one of your business units, or discrete adoption of workforce shaping.

Our years of research into the Future of HR have found that organisations benefit from ‘Pathfinding HR departments’ which are defined by four traits – shaping workforce, shaping culture, shaping experience and shaping strategy. It is crucial to look at them as an integrated and holistic entity. Persistently progressing against all four fronts simultaneously can work as an opportunity for your organisation. It will help you create a connected enterprise. It will also foster productive collaboration and division of labour between humans and machines.
