The rise of technology and social media have completely redefined the role of
Human Resources around the world.
To understand what the future holds for HR professionals around the world, at
P World, we spent the last month talking with over 60 international HR
experts, discussing their ideas and predictions for the year ahead.
The conclusion- 2016 is going to be one of the most complex years in the
global HR world.
Data-driven recruiting will definitely be a trend that will gain more traction in
2016. Access to data is getting easier and cheaper with new technology and
professional network platforms. Talent acquisition leaders can arm themselves
with data and become very strategic in their decisions. For instance, build
talent pools using data helps recruiters enhanced their understanding of the
market and be more efficient. (Maud Durand, Strategic EMEA Sourcer,
Facebook)
Marketing and sales departments have to improve & develop the customer
experience in order to increase market share and revenue. Our employees at
every level have seen this improvement and are now looking forward to seeing
this improvement not only focus on external customer but also internally to
improve their journey.
Every function has implemented new processes without looking at the big
picture in terms of employee journey and it has become a painful process
between financial / HR / IT / Procurement / Benefits processes. All those
departments are using different technology / workflow and documentation to
perform the task that they have transferred in the last decade. Improving the
Employee Experience in a challenging environment will drive engagement and
retention. (David Lamy, Lecturer Human Resources, Paris-Sorbonne
University)
Wellbeing and resilience continues to be a big area of focus for us. For us this
means physical, emotional, mental and purposeful wellbeing. We even provide
free counseling with an external expert provider for employees and their
dependents.
As Europe becomes even more volatile and uncertain in terms of socio
economic indicators, the pressure on individuals becomes even more
challenging. Individuals are pushed to deliver ambitious growth targets at work
and at home there can be struggles with unemployment (partner or child),
financial pressures like the mortgage, loans etc. (Julie Hudtohan, Global HR
for HR Director, Unilever)
The biggest HR Trend 2016 will be predictive data analysis. Weve talked
about big data for some time and now its time to start to act on that data and
put it to use. (Johannes Sundlo, HR Controller, Spotify)
9. Consolidation of businesses.
As for the HR Trend for next year I believe that Consolidation of Businesses
will continue and the envrionment will stay challenging for most of the
industries. As such HR effectiveness and effectivity paired with analytics on
the one hand and on the other hand I believe we are going to have more and
more challenges with Generation Y and how to become the most attractive
employer for the future workforce. ( Kerstin Knapp, HR Director,
Richemont)
