The best HR & People Analytics articles of December 2024
The December edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly is an opportunity to reflect on the year that is about to pass into history and look forward to what lies ahead. 2024 has proved to be another tumultuous year of geopolitical tension, economic uncertainty, and upheaval in the world of work. Perhaps for HR and people analytics it is a case of “in chaos, there is opportunity,” as we move into 2025.
Enjoy this month’s collection of resources, and to all readers who are taking a break over the festive season, I wish you Happy Holidays, and a prosperous and healthy 2025. Thank you to everyone who has supported Insight222, the Digital HR Leaders Podcast, and the Data Driven HR Monthly in 2024. It means a lot and is much appreciated.
This edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly is sponsored by our friends at TechWolf
Task Intelligence: rethink work, redefine skills
Work happens at the task level, where skills meet action. But are your skills aligned with the work that drives impact?
TechWolf has proven that bridging the gap between tasks and skills is the key to workforce transformation. By applying Task Intelligence within our own teams, we’ve unlocked measurable results:
$76,000 saved in productivity gains by automating repetitive tasks.
Freed up time for strategic, high-value work.
Reshaped hiring strategies by focusing on the skills that truly matter.
At TechWolf, we believe that getting close enough to the work being done is the key to doing skills right. As our own 'customer zero'; we’ve put our AI to the test, integrating it with JIRA to analyze and optimize our work processes.

December Road Report
The main event for December was the publication of the fifth annual Insight222 People Analytics Trends study, which was our biggest yet with 348 participating organisations. A summary of the key findings follows in the ‘People Analytics’ section below, but one is that 62% of companies told us that they were in the first year of their AI journey in HR. Click here to download the report, and see how the people analytics function in your company compares to ‘A Teams’ by taking the Leading Companies Diagnostic.
I had the privilege of taking the findings from the study out on the road to two events in December. First, I delivered the opening keynote at Visier Inc. Outsmart Local in London, which also featured the likes of Nick Hudgell, Rosemary Byde, Kevin Metherell, and Neera Ridler-Mayor, AIA (see more here). The following week I was in Amsterdam for Workday Rising EMEA, where I was interviewed on stage by Phil Willburn, as well as delivering a keynote on the characteristics of People Analytics ‘A Teams’ (see more on Workday Rising here).
2024 seemed like the year when the 'in-person' event fully returned - and as such it proved to be a busy year on stage. I emceed Unleash World in Paris, People Analytics World events in Zurich, London, and New York, and the Insight222 Global Executive Retreat in Amsterdam. I keynoted at the three People Analytics World events, Workday Rising in Las Vegas and Amsterdam, Gloat Live in New York, the Deloitte Workforce Innovation Forum in Dallas, a Mercer/Corporate Research Forum event on Productivity, Purpose and Profit in London, and Visier Outsmart Local in London. I moderated panels at a number of these events as well as at Strategic HR Analytics MeetUp in New York.
Share the love!

2024 REFLECTIONS
HUNG LEE - What Happened in Recruiting in 2024 - Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 |
Don't be fooled by the title, Hung Lee's 2024 reflections covers topics much broader than recruiting, and contains a plethora of data, analysis and visualisations that should act as a guide for the year ahead too. Taking one highlight from each of the four-part series (and 20 reflections in total), I'd go with AI and Automation (Part 1), the re-emergence of Talent Density (Part 2), Atlantic Divergence on DEI - see FIG 2 (Part 3), and War on Middle Managers (Part 4). If you don't already follow Hung's twin newsletters, Recruiting Brainfood, and This Week in Recruiting, I highly recommend you do.

2025 HR PREDICTIONS, TRENDS AND PRIORITIES
STEVE HUNT - A guide to HR predictions, trends, and forecasts | ANDREW SPENCE - 5 Big Questions for Work in 2025 | DANIEL ZHAO - Glassdoor Worklife Trends 2025 | VISIER – Embracing the AI Driven Workforce: 5 Workforce Trends for 2025 | i4CP – 2025 Priorities and Predictions | LARS SCHMIDT - 7 ways HR will look different in 2025 | JOSH BERSIN - A Tumultuous Year Behind: A Challenging, Important 2025
A people analytics team cannot sit on the sidelines while AI is poised to transform the world of HR. If you don't embrace AI to surface insights and support data-driven decisions, you may miss out on the ability to scale decision intelligence
Putting my own 12 Opportunities for HR in 2025 to one side, there are a plethora of other HR trends, predictions, and priorities being published. Here are seven resources that I recommend digging deeper into. (1) Firstly, Steve Hunt provides a helpful ‘buyer beware’ guide on eight lessons to consuming HR predictions, trends and forecasts, including a warning that most HR forecasts are designed to influence buying behaviour. (2) Despite being a Man United fan, Andrew Spence’s Workforce Futurist newsletter is one of the best around. In a recent edition, Andrew ponders five big questions for work in 2025 including: Is the office dead or just evolving (see FIG 3)? (3) Daniel Zhao presents five trends based on Glassdoor data including: Employers are investing in holistic wellbeing. (4) Visier Inc.’s five workforce trends for 2025 includes the need for organisations to build the backbone of data infrastructure to fully realise the promise of AI in HR and workforce topics, and features contributions from the likes of Dawn Klinghoffer, Eric Bokelberg (see quote above), Angela LE MATHON, Ryan Wong and Adam McKinnon, PhD. (5) As Kevin Oakes writes in his Foreword to The Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp)’s thoughtful annual look at the year ahead: “perhaps the safest prediction we can make is those who embrace agility will have much more success than those who resist change.” (6) Lars Schmidt takes his annual look at how HR is likely to evolve as a function in the year ahead, with my favourite of his seven being that "Learning and development will take center stage." (7) Josh Bersin looks back at a tumultuous 2024 to highlight the priorities for the year ahead in his big idea of 'Citizenship': "Our job in HR is to help our leaders and organizations practice this kind of citizenship. In a year of tumultuous change, Citizenship will serve us well."

HYBRID, GENERATIVE AI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
BRIAN ELLIOTT - Five Hybrid Work Trends to Watch in 2025 | JOSE MARIA BARRERO, NICK BLOOM, SHELBY BUCKMAN, AND STEVEN J. DAVIS - SWAA December 2024 Updates | LYNDA GRATTON - Seven Truths About Hybrid Work and Productivity | BETH SCHINOFF, ASHLEY E. HARDIN, KRIS BYRON, AND RACHEL BALVEN - Research: How WFH Can Actually Strengthen Bonds Between Coworkers
Forward-looking organizations will shift toward measuring performance based on results, not attendance
As I wrote in 12 Opportunities for HR in 2025, HR has the opportunity to help their organisations elevate the conversation on hybrid working from where to how. With outliers like Amazon getting a lot of column inches about their decision to bring employees back to the office five days a week (although this move may not be working out well), HR leaders in other firms may come under pressure from their CEOs to follow suit. Five articles that can help resist this move are included here. (1) First, Brian Elliott outlines five hybrid work trends to look out for in 2025 including: “Organizations that embrace flexible work will steal talent from organizations that impose harsh return-to-office mandates.” (2) The latest data from Nick Bloom and his WFH Research team finds that only 44% of employees would comply if their company imposed a five-day return to office (compared to 53% in 2022), which suggests Elliott’s prediction is likely to be prescient. (3) Lynda Gratton unveils seven key findings from what she is seeing from experiments in hybrid working including: (i) Hybrid work is a continuum. (ii) Productivity is usually challenging — and measurement is always complex. (iii) It’s useful to view hybrid work as fundamentally a job design option. (4) Beth Schinoff, Ashley Hardin, Kris Byron, and Rachel McCullagh Balven present research that finds (contrary to beliefs that employees are able to form richer relationships in person than they can working remotely), remote work can actually make coworkers feel closer by giving them authentic glimpses into each others non-work lives through video calls.

RASMUS HOUGAARD AND JACQUELINE CARTER - How AI Can Make Us Better Leaders
In their article for Harvard Business Review, Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter outline their research, which finds that AI can enhance and empower leaders, and actually help them to be more human. They explain why leaders need to focus on the core leadership qualities of awareness, wisdom, and compassion, as well as take on a both/and mindset. In this way, the “AI-augmented leader” can leverage both the power of AI and develop their most human qualities, bringing the best of both human and machine to their leadership practice.

PEOPLE ANALYTICS
JONATHAN FERRAR, NAOMI VERGHESE, AND MADHURA CHAKRABARTI - Harnessing Data for Growth: The Impact of People Analytics Article | Full Report
The fifth annual People Analytics Trends study was our biggest yet at Insight222, with 348 participating organisations. The four key findings were: (1) Growth: people analytics continues to expand in scope and investment. (2) Intelligent automation: the advent of GenAI has catalysed HR’s use of AI with people analytics at the core and central to AI strategy in HR. (3) Adoption crisis: the adoption of people analytics remains a challenge with a significant gap between the democratisation of people insights and data (71% of organisations) and a high-level of adoption within HR (47%) and outside HR (28%) – see FIG 6. (4) Value: measuring and demonstrating value is now essential for people analytics teams to increase their impact and drive greater ROI. Kudos to the authors: Jonathan Ferrar, Naomi Verghese, and Madhura Chakrabarti, PhD. Thanks too to the practitioners featured in the study: Adam Tombor (Wojciechowski), Peter Ryan, and Phil Willburn.

RICHARD ROSENOW – People Analytics is Growing | People Analytics Roles Review
Richard Rosenow devotes part of his monthly People Analytics Roles Update newsletter to data highlighting the growth of people analytics. He cites three sources: (1) The 30% increase in people analytics roles that Richard and the One Model team have tracked between 2023 and 2024. (2) The aforementioned Insight222 study, which found that the ratio of people analytics professionals to total employee headcount has improved from 1:4000 in 2020 to 1:2500 in 2024. (3) Data by Jason Saltzman at Live Data Technologies, which finds that both core and specialist people analytics roles are on the rise (see FIG 7).

BENJAMIN ROGOJAN – Data Science v Data Engineering | PATRICK COOLEN – What Is Not People Analytics | PIETRO MAZZOLENI - The Power of Integration: Why People Data Thrives Within Enterprise Frameworks | JACKSON ROATCH - From Correlation to Causation: Levelling Up People Analytics with Econometrics | SCOTT REIDA - Transform Performance Evaluations with GenAI: Smarter Grading, Visual Insights, and Next Steps | CHRISTOPHER ROSETT – Storytelling: The Story Arc and The Journalist’s Pyramid
In each edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly, I feature a collection of articles by current and recent people analytics leaders. These are intended to act as a spur and inspiration to the field. Six are highlighted in this month’s edition. (1) Thanks to Richard Rosenow for highlighting Benjamin Rogojan’s post, which may be the best explanation (and visualisation – see FIG 8) yet on why you need data scientists and data engineers in an effective analytics team. (2) Patrick Coolen provides a powerful list of what is not people analytics – my favourite is: “People Analytics is ??? about HR (only). It should be strongly focused on high impact business threats and opportunities.” (3) In a recent edition of his (excellent) People Data Platform newsletter, Pietro Mazzoleni explains how HR and people analytics leaders can increase their impact by integrating people data with broader organisational impacts. (4) Jackson Roatch outlines how people analytics teams can create more impact by adding econometric methods to its tools and capabilities. (5) Scott Reida explains how to use GenAI to transform employee performance evaluations from vague feedback into actionable insights. (6) Christopher Rosett breaks down two models – The Story Arc and The Journalist’s Pyramid (see FIG 9) – that can be used to underpin storytelling with data in different contexts.

THE EVOLUTION OF HR, LEARNING, AND DATA DRIVEN CULTURE
DAVE ULRICH - The Next Agenda for Human Resources: What’s So? So What? Now What?
Evidence shows that organizational capability has 4x more impact on results than individual talent efforts alone - yet most of the HR field remains heavily focused on talent.
Dave Ulrich provides some astute observations on the current state of the HR field, and concludes that most of the focus is on the talent domain of his human capability model (see FIG 10) and so on individuals rather than organisational capability. He then provides four ‘next agenda’ recommendations to shift the profession to creating stakeholder value through human capability: (1) Advance that HR is less about HR and more on creating stakeholder value. (2) Offer a complete human capability agenda and assessment. (3) Prioritise using analytics and AI. (4) Upgrading HR professionals.

KENNETH KUK, DONALD DELVES, AND JOHN BREMEN - A Board Outlook on Effective Human Capital Governance
Human capital governance can be an overwhelming subject for the board. They do not want to get stuck with minute detail about HR policies or programs. Best practice is for the board to focus their oversight on human capital areas most material to the business, either because they pose a significant risk or are a differentiator for competitive advantage.
Kenneth Kuk, Don Delves, and John Bremen present the findings of WTW research into board prioritisation of human capital governance. Findings include: (1) Boards do not spend enough time on long-term strategic workforce planning. (2) Leadership succession and development, talent attraction and retention, and workforce planning and skills for the future were identified as the top three priority human capital topics. (3) Only one-third of board members agree that human capital governance is effective on their boards. (4) Boards do not spend enough time, nor do they receive the right level of information, to engage in meaningful and strategic discussions about human capital governance (see FIG 11).

WORKFORCE PLANNING, ORG DESIGN, AND SKILLS-BASED ORGANISATIONS
WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM AND PwC - Leveraging Generative AI for Job Augmentation and Workforce Productivity: Scenarios, Case Studies and a Framework for Action
The organizations quickest to adopt GenAI in their workforce are those that could be described as “data-driven”
In their new report, the World Economic Forum and PwC present the findings of their study into how early adopters are leveraging GenAI across the workplace, the impact it is having, and the lessons they have learned along the way. The big takeaway is that they found that success depends as much on people as it does technology. Workers need to understand, trust and adopt GenAI. The report also presents four different scenarios for how the deployment of GenAI in organisations could play out (see FIG 12). With the recent Insight222 People Analytics Trends study finding that 62% of companies are in the first year of their journey with AI in HR, this report will be required reading. Credit to the authors: Adèle Jacquard, Isabelle Leliaert, Till Alexander Leopold, Shuvasish Sharma, Peter Brown MBE, Marlene De Koning, Kiera Thomas, and Astrid van der Werf.

THE BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE - Measuring the Impact of Skills-Based Talent Initiatives
A helpful and practical guide from The Business Roundtable group of companies to help other organisations effectively implement skills-based hiring and talent management strategies. The report provides a blueprint for how to measure the success of skills-based talent strategies, which is comprised of four components: (1) Aligning on goals and selecting the right metrics to achieve them. (2) Enhancing internal data reporting (see sample balance scorecard in FIG 13). (3) Leveraging data for strategic change management. (4) Collaborating to report success at scale. Thanks to Brian Heger for highlighting in his Talent Edge newsletter.

EMPLOYEE LISTENING, EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, AND EMPLOYEE WELLBEING
SHARON K. PARKER AND CAROLINE KNIGHT - Design Work to Prevent Burnout
Small, locally led work design changes can have a powerful effect on work quality.
Employee burnout and disengagement is bad for business and bad for workers. A much better approach is to create healthier and more sustainable jobs through good work design. In their article, Sharon Parker and Caroline Knight, outline their SMART Work Design model (see FIG 14), which is designed to improve worker wellbeing and performance. The authors describe each of the five characteristics in the model, before emphasising that the first step in improving work design is to start with data: “The first step in improving work design is to assess its current state, using employee surveys, interviews, and observations. The most comprehensive assessment would incorporate all three.” They then provide guidance on five ways to use the model to drive positive collaboration between managers and their teams to: (1) Redesign teams' work, (2) Align people management systems, (3) Build leader capability for SMART work design, (4) Guide and evaluate operational change, and (5) Encourage and support employee job crafting.

JACQUELINE BRASSEY, AARON DE SMET, AND DANA MAOR WITH SHEIDA RABIPOUR - Developing a resilient, adaptable workforce for an uncertain future
To successfully move their business strategies forward, 21st-century leaders need an engaged and innovative workforce that can change course quickly, effectively, and fluidly.
A recent study by the McKinsey Health Institute finds that when employees experience strong levels of organisational support, psychological safety, resiliency and adaptability, these are associated with high levels of engagement and innovation (see FIG 15). In their article, Jacqui Brassey, PhD, MA, MAfN ?️ (née Schouten), Aaron De Smet, Dana Maor, and Sheida Rabipour, PhD present a blueprint composed of four actions for leaders to develop their own capacity for change while in parallel fostering resilience and adaptability in the workforce: (1) Setting a North Star for the organisation. (2) Building a psychologically safe community, not just a workforce. (3) Ensuring that leaders themselves are resilient, adaptable, and can serve as role models. (4) Encouraging teams to build resilience and adaptability skills in groups.

LEADERSHIP, CULTURE, AND LEARNING
STEVEN LEVY - Relevance! Relevance! Relevance! Microsoft at 50 Is an AI Giant—and Still Hellbent on Domination | KATHLEEN HOGAN AND DAWN KAWAMOTO - How Microsoft’s chief people officer built a dynamic company culture
In 2015, Nadella called for a major transformation of Microsoft’s culture: from a ‘know-it-all,’ fixed mindset culture to a ‘learn-it-all’ growth culture
When Satya Nadella took over as CEO in 2014, Microsoft was seen as lumbering and uncool. Together, with Kathleen Hogan, who he appointed as Chief People Office, Nadella cleaned up a toxic culture, crafted the deal of the decade, and put Microsoft back on top. These two resources provide the context from a business perspective and a people one, on who this was achieved. The first article, in Wired, tells the business story: including the acquisitions of LinkedIn and GitHub, the partnership with OpenAI, and how Microsoft closed the AI gap with its competitors. The second article and video, sees Kathleen Hogan sharing how the company changed its company culture and how that evolution continues: “We always joke, the minute you think you’ve arrived and have a growth mindset is the minute you have a fixed mindset.”
MICHAEL ARENA AND PHILIP ARKCOLL - When flatter isn’t better: The hidden cost of collaborative demand
In an effort to create flatter organizational structures, indiscriminately cutting managers without first assessing collaborative demand can have detrimental consequences.
In order to speed up decision making, companies like Meta and Amazon have cut managers as part of a ‘flatter is faster’ approach. The theory is that fewer managers means more speed, more agility, and more innovation. In their article, Michael Arena and Philip Arkcoll provide a counterpoint through Worklytics data showing that when managers are stretched thin—leading teams of seven or more— they encounter overwhelming workloads, rising burnout, and reduced ability to effectively support their teams (see FIG 16). To strike the right balance, Arena and Arkcoll advocate the use of data to assess collaborative demand and drive targeted actions. They provide guidance on (1) Optimising span of control , (2) Focusing on managerial overload, (3) Providing delegation strategies, and (4) Monitoring workloads.

ARNE GAST, ERIK MANDERSLOOT, KAI GRUNEWALD, AND NEIL PEARSE WITH CARMEN JAMES AND NATACHA CATALINO - All about teams: A new approach to organizational transformation
Team-focused transformations can lead to 30 percent efficiency gains in organizations that implement these strategies effectively.
According to McKinsey, when it comes to organisational transformations there is a third way beyond the top-down or bottom-up approaches that are typically employed. That is a team-centric approach. Indeed, in their article, Arne Gast, Erik Mandersloot, Kai Grünewald, Neil Pearse, Carmen James, and Natacha (Simon) Catalino reveal that a team-centric approach can lead to 30 percent efficiency gains in organisations that implement these strategies effectively. The article provides guidance on four practical steps to empowering teams and unleashing their potential: (1) Identifying the highest-value teams, (2) Activating the value-creating teams (see FIG 17), (3) Lifting the leaders to support their teams, and; (4) Scaling this approach to more and more teams.

HR TECH VOICES
Much of the innovation in the field continues to be driven by the vendor community, and I’ve picked out a few resources from December that I recommend readers delve into:
FRANCISCO MARIN - Unlocking HR Potential with Organizational Network Analysis: Insights from Gartner’s 2025 HR Priorities – Francisco Marin of Cognitive Talent Solutions takes inspiration from Gartner’s Top 5 Priorities for HR Leaders in 2025 report to highlight the role ONA can play in areas such as change management and leadership development – highlighting a case study by Allstate that is contained in the Gartner report (see FIG 18).

LISA K. SIMON - AI Isn’t Coming for Your Job—Unless You Ignore It – Lisa K. Simon reveals insightful data from Revelio Labs, on the exposure and adoption of different roles to AI. Findings include: (1) High AI exposure is positively correlated with higher salaries: A ten percentage point increase in AI exposure is associated with 25% higher salaries. (2) The higher the AI exposure, the higher the adoption of AI tools (see FIG 19).
FIG 19: Data scientists lead the way in AI adoption (Source: Revelio Labs)
BEN WIGERT AND COREY TATEL - The Great Detachment: Why Employees Feel Stuck – Ben Wigert, Ph.D, MBA and Corey Tatel, Ph.D. present data from Gallup that finds that employees across the US are increasingly detached from their jobs – hence The Great Detachment – with satisfaction at record lows, employees seeking new opportunities at the highest rate since 2015, but with a cooling job market organisations face risks with regards to productivity and future talent loss (see FIG 20).

VIDEO OF THE MONTH
BRIAN ELLIOTT, LAURIANNE MCLAUGHLIN, AND M. SHAWN READ - RTO Mandates: Hard Truths for Leaders
In this video, Brian Elliott, who we featured earlier in the special on hybrid working, discusses the impact of RTO mandates with Laurianne McLaughlin and M. Shawn Read. Brian highlights data and examples that shines a light on return-to-office directives, offers predictions for those companies who have implemented these mandates. He also provides alternative, evidence-based strategies that forward-thinking leaders can use to boost productivity without hurting employee trust, engagement, or talent retention.
RESEARCH REPORT OF THE MONTH
SHONNA WATERS, ERIN EATOUGH, SHEHZAD BASHIR - People Analytics Across Company Growth Stages: Evolving Your Approach as You Scale
In an era where people are at the heart of organizational success, making data-driven talent decisions is no longer optional - it's a strategic imperative.
In their white paper, four esteemed experts in people analytics - Shonna Waters, PhD, Erin Eatough, PhD, Shehzad Bashir, and Ian OKeefe, break down how to build and refine people analytics capabilities that grow with your organisation. The authors introduce a practical framework for people analytics based on four pillars - each with its own set of capabilities: Governance (with seven capabilities including strategy, ethics and compliance), Infrastructure (also with seven capabilities such as storage, performance and security), Methods (with eight capabilities including primary research, statistical models and machine learning), and Products (with nine capabilities including metrics, dashboards, and nudges), which they state form the basis for organisations to build and subsequently scale their people analytics function. This is a well-researched, practical and helpful paper.
HR Analytics adoption is associated with higher return on investment by an average of 6.2% for return on capital employed
BOOK OF THE MONTH
KATARINA BERG – Bold: A New Era of Strategic HR
Behind every innovative company there should be an innovative HR function. That certainly applies to Spotify and Katarina Berg, the company’s Chief People Officer where being bold is etched into the DNA of the HR function she leads. This is evident in the Spotify HR Blog, and now in Bold, which is finally available in English. As I describe in my endorsement of the book:
The pandemic has thrust HR into the spotlight and given the function the opportunity to lead in shaping the new model of work. To do this, HR has to embrace data and digital. It must deliver for leaders and employees alike. Above all, HR must be bold. Spotify’s HR function, under the leadership of Katarina Berg, is setting the template for other to follow. With ‘Bold’, Katarina and her team build on the visionary Spotify HR Blog, providing a rich vein of insights on the practice of a leading-edge HR function and how it delivers value for employees and the business.

David Green: The best HR & People Analytics articles of July 2024这个月的《数据驱动HR月报》由Insight222发布了他们的新研究报告《构建人力分析生态系统：运营模式2.0》。在Insight222庆祝成立七周年之际，团队成员们齐聚一堂，共同回顾过去的成就，规划未来的步骤，并庆祝这一成功。此外，本月的重点还包括我有幸在由Mercer组织的LinkedIn直播中担任主持人，主题是“AI时代的技能驱动组织”，并欢迎在上个月加入的2000多名《数据驱动HR月报》新订阅者。本期由Visier赞助。
在案例研究部分，展示了Experian如何通过Visier将报告时间减少了70%。Experian的数据分析团队曾在Excel和Oracle OBI-EE套件中花费大量时间，限制了战略工作。Visier帮助他们显著提高了效率，使其团队能够专注于发掘劳动力洞察力、赋能数据驱动决策，并建立数据驱动的HR文化。
此外，本期还讨论了SHRM在其DEI（多样性、公平与包容性）计划中移除“公平”一词的决定。这一决定在DEI受到持续攻击、许多知名公司撤回DEI承诺的背景下显得尤为令人震惊。一些评论认为，SHRM此举的动机可能是政治性的，而非其所声明的“通过强调首先包容性，旨在解决DE&I项目的当前不足，减少社会反弹和极化”。
I’m just about to go out on vacation in the South of France for three weeks (hurrah!) and with growing evidence that taking a vacation improves physical and mental wellbeing, I’m looking forward to having time to relax, reflect and recharge.

SHRM and the war on DEI
I’m not here to beat up on SHRM, but their flabbergasting decision to drop ‘Equity’ from its approach to ‘Inclusion, Equity and Diversity’ seems to have achieved the notable feat of being universally unpopular. To take this decision at a time when DEI is under sustained attack from politicians and when a growing number of prominent companies are backtracking from previous DEI commitments seems peculiar to say the least. It has led some commentators to conclude that SHRM’s surprise move is politically motivated rather than being driven by their stated objective, which SHRM explained as: “By emphasizing Inclusion-first, we aim to address the current shortcomings of DE&I programs, which have led to societal backlash and increasing polarization.” Whatever SHRM’s motive if, as likely, this decision by such an influential body undermines DEI then it is not only unhelpful but bad for employees, bad for organisations, and bad for society. As Shujaat Ahmad writes in his coruscating analysis:
Equity is one of the most clear, tangible measures for culture change on systemic discrimination. Without it, DEIB is lost in a maze of good intentions and half-baked commitments.

HYBRID, GENERATIVE AI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
JENS BAIER ET AL - How Work Preferences Are Shifting in the Age of GenAI
When it comes to GenAI’s impact on jobs, talent is aware but unafraid. Although only 5% think that GenAI will replace their jobs, 60% anticipate that they will need to reskill significantly. Most say that they will need help to understand what skills to build.
For the first time since its inception a decade ago, BCG’s Decoding Global Talent study finds that job security is ranked by workers as their number one work preference (see FIG 1). Analysis revealed that workers who expressed concern about the impact of GenAI on their jobs were more likely to prioritise job security. They also recognise the importance of learning, with 60% of workers anticipating they will need to reskill significantly. As the study highlights, to attract and retain talent, organisations will need to solve a complex puzzle. They must anticipate the impact of technology on their workforce and offer robust reskilling programs to help employees stay competitive. (Authors: Jens Stefan Baier Orsolya Kovacs-Ondrejkovic Dr. Tobias Zimmermann Pierre Antebi Dr. Susan Gritzka Sacha Knorr Vinciane Beauchene Carmen Márquez Castro Zoë McFarlane Anja Bates Niharika Jajoria Julie Bedard and Ashish Garg).

NICOLE SCOBLE-WILLIAMS ET AL - Generative AI and the future of work: Boundless Potential
It’s ‘humans with machines’ and not humans or machines that will transcend leading organizations.
An insightful and comprehensive report by the Deloitte AI Institute on the seismic impact of generative AI on the future of work. The report is structured into three chapters each designed to answer a key question. (1) What is generative AI and how is it being used? (2) What is generative AI’s likely impact on jobs? (3) What are the strategies to prepare organisations for change? There are a ton of insights, case studies and frameworks to learn from. Three that resonated especially with me were: (1) The explanation of the difference between work, jobs, tasks and skills (see FIG 2). (2) Guidance for organisations on how to break down jobs in the generative AI era. (3) The five-step framework for adopting a researcher’s mindset for human-generative SI integration: a) hypothesis formation, b) data collection and analysis, c) broad organisational experimentation, d) iterative testing and feedback, and e) strategy refinement.

RAVIN JESUTHASAN - Achieving the productivity promise of generative AI requires redesigning work
When he coined The Productivity Paradox, Robert Solow outlined two fundamental reasons why new technologies often don’t deliver on their promise. First, early versions of technologies are often flawed and unsuitable for widespread adoption – this applies less to GenAI. In his thoughtful article, Ravin Jesuthasan, CFA, FRSA tackles Solow’s second reason, which relates to the architecture of work. He outlines that to address this issue, organisations need to undertake systemic work redesign through deconstructing the work, redeploying tasks and creating new ways of working. Ravin cites the six-step framework (see FIG 4) he advanced together with John Boudreau in their book, Reinventing Jobs, and describes the potential productivity gains arising as a result.

PEOPLE ANALYTICS
DELOITTE - 2023 High-Impact People Analytics Research
Prioritizing PA customers means understanding their needs—and how those needs align (or don’t) with the function’s capabilities and broader business priorities.
A new report by Eric Lesser Peter DeBellis and Marc Solow based on a 2023 study by Deloitte of more than 400 organisations across 18 countries presents a People Analytics Maturity Model (see FIG 5) and discusses six key findings. These are: (1) People Analytics has become an organisational imperative. (2) Data culture is the single biggest predictor of people analytics performance. (3) Tech investments mean nothing without human capability (and vice versa). (4) Today’s challenges demand more data from more sources. (5) An expanding customer base means new demands on the people analytics function. (6) People data is business data – treat it as such.

CATHERINE COPPINGER - 4 New Ways to Model Work
With the rise of distributed work, managers are being asked to work in a fundamentally different way than they’ve worked before
In her article, Catherine Coppinger of Worklytics, discusses four new ways to model how work gets done – and how it could be done better: (1) Workday Intensity – see FIG 6 - (“We measure intensity as time spent on digital work as a % of overall workday span”). (2) Work-Life Balance. (3) Manager Effectiveness (“With the rise of distributed work, managers are being asked to work in a fundamentally different way than they’ve worked before”). (4) Sales Effectiveness (“With sales stalling, People Analytics teams are increasingly being asked to weigh in on what can be done to reaccelerate revenue growth”). For more insights on the manager effectiveness topic, listen to Catherine on a recent episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How to Use Passive Data to Enhance Manager Effectiveness.

PREETHIKA SAINAM, SEIGYOUNG AUH, RICHARD ETTENSON, AND BULENT MENGUC - The High Cost of Misaligned Business and Analytics Goals
It is not only the level of analytics that matters, but also how aligned analytics capabilities are with business goals.
What does success in analytics really mean and how should companies measure it? This was the mission of a study by Preethika Sainam Seigyoung Auh Richard Ettenson PhD and Bulent Menguc. While they found that creating a data-driven culture, adopting advanced analytics capabilities, and employing a well-developed data strategy were all important, the key ingredient is the degree of alignment between business goals and analytics capabilities. Their article presents findings from the study, the differences between misaligned and aligned companies, the cost of misalignment (see FIG 7) and how to measure alignment in seven areas: (1) Culture, (2) Alignment with strategy, (3) Leadership commitment, (4) Operations and structure, (5) Employee empowerment, (6) Proactive market orientation, and (7) Skills and competencies.

THE EVOLUTION OF HR, LEARNING, AND DATA DRIVEN CULTURE
DAVE ULRICH - Update on HR Business Partner Model Continuing Evolution and Relevance
In the last seven years, HR’s contribution to the business has evolved and is increasing. The HR contribution comes from individual HR professionals who have the competencies to fully engage in business conversations. The HR contribution also comes from HR functions, practices, and analytics increasing stakeholder value.
There’s no one better informed to comment on the evolution of the HR business partner (HRBP) model than Dave Ulrich, given he coined and popularised the model in his seminal 1997 book, Human Resource Champions. In his article, Dave details nine evolutions that are combining to reshape and elevate the future role of the HRBP including these five: (1) People and organisation concerns have evolved to be more central to business success. (2) Talent has evolved to pay increased attention on worktask and meaning (see FIG 9). (3) Leadership has evolved to front-line leaders and emerging competencies. (4) HR delivery has evolved to AI–enabled HR (5) HR analytics has evolved from benchmarking to guidance.

SERENA HUANG - AI in HR: Missing the Forest for the Trees
By focusing on strategic workforce planning, responsible and ethical AI, and clear ownership for AI adoption, HR can become the strategic AI champion the organization needs.
In her From Data to Action LinkedIn newsletter, Serena H. Huang, Ph.D. bemoans the narrow focus of much of the discussion about AI in HR on automation and cost efficiency. Instead, Serena urges a bolder approach, presenting three ‘big-picture issues’ centred on organisational readiness that HR should focus on: (1) Strategic Workforce Planning (e.g. LinkedIn recently estimates that 55% of jobs will be augmented or disrupted by GenAI – see FIG 10). (2) Responsible and Ethical AI. (3) Clear Ownership: Who is Driving the AI Train? Thanks to Serena for highlighting the recent Digital HR Leaders podcast episode with IBM CHRO Nickle LaMoreaux in her article, where Nickle expanded on IBM’s Responsible AI policy and how this is applied to HR. You can listen to the whole episode here: How IBM Uses AI to Transform its HR Strategies.

CHIEF ETHERIDGE – 3 Strategies to Position HR for Innovation
Only 28% of HR employees agree that their HR function encourages them to take risks, even if they result in failure. This risk aversion is a major obstacle to innovation.
As the preface for this paper by Chief Etheridge for Gartner states, HR is under pressure to develop innovative solutions for a unique set of organisational challenges such as incorporating new ways of working, establishing digital workplaces, and leveraging artificial intelligence. The paper outlines three strategies HR can implement: (1) Define Innovation’s Value and Benefits to HR. (2) Embed Innovation Networks in HR (see FIG 11 for example from Toyota). (3) Establish Structured Innovation Process for HR (with an example from Fannie Mae).

WORKFORCE PLANNING, ORG DESIGN AND SKILLS
MCKINSEY - Help wanted: Charting the challenge of tight labour markets in advanced economies
Companies and economies will need to boost productivity and find new ways to expand the workforce
A comprehensive study by McKinsey on how labour markets in the G8 countries are among the tightest in two decades and are set to get worse as workforce continue to age. The study is packed full of insights, visualisations and charts and is a must-read for anyone involved in workforce planning, recruiting, talent intelligence and people analytics. Four actions are recommended for companies and policy makers: (1) Focus on skilling and reskilling, including attracting talent from unconventional pools, offering more flexible work, and internal mobility. (2) Encourage foreign-born workers with programs to properly integrate them into the workforce (one to note given the hysteria about immigration in all of the eight countries in the study). (3) Shape retirement policies to encourage people to work beyond standard retirement ages and take steps to attract more women into the workforce. (4) Prioritise investment in AI and automation to unlock productivity. (Authors: Anu Madgavkar Olivia White Sven Smit Chris Bradley Ryan Luby and Michael Neary).

JORGE TAMAYO, LEILA DOUMI, SAGAR GOEL, ORSOLYA KOVÁCS-ONDREJKOVIC, AND RAFFAELLA SADUN - Designing a Successful Reskilling Program
In today’s fast-changing work landscape, the ability to reskill will become increasingly vital to staying competitive.
In this article, written as a follow up to their award-winning “Reskilling in the Age of AI”, Jorge Tamayo Leila Doumi Sagar Goel Orsolya Kovacs-Ondrejkovic and Raffaella Sadunshare the results of a reskilling survey that they conducted with chief human resources officers and business leaders, and discuss six paradigms on reskilling. These are: (1) Reskilling is a strategic imperative. (2) Reskilling is the responsibility of every leader and manager. (3) Reskilling is a change management initiative. (4) Employees want to reskill – if programs are attractive. (5) Reskilling takes a village. (6) To reskill successfully, you need to be able to analyse and measure the benefit of your interventions and investments.

EMPLOYEE LISTENING, EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, AND EMPLOYEE WELLBEING
DERRICK P. BRANSBY, MICHAELA J. KERRISSEY, AND AMY C. EDMONDSON - New Hires’ Psychological Safety Erodes Quickly
Psychological safety is not the default in any workplace, and those who need it most — newcomers — are also most vulnerable to losing it.
Research finds that psychological safety is especially important for new hires as it enables them to overcome the challenge of admitting fallibility, tackle a steep learning curve and embrace new perspectives. So, it is concerning that in their new study, Amy Edmondson Derrick Bransby and Michaela Kerrissey identify a fascinating pattern: On average, newcomers joined their organisation with higher psychological safety relative to their more tenured colleagues, then lost it and waited years to reach levels comparable to when they arrived. Nevertheless, the study also found that departments with high psychological safety among colleagues help reduce that decline and facilitate quick recovery for new hires (see FIG 16). The article also discusses why newcomers are vulnerable to losing psychological safety and presents strategies to help preserve their early willingness to speak up.

CHRISTINA BRADLEY, LINDY GREER, AND JEFFREY SANCHEZ-BURKS - When Your Employee Feels Angry, Sad, or Dejected
Leaders must be able to respond in a supportive manner to the emotions of their employees. That requires them to learn how to handle others’ feelings in different contexts, be more aware of their own behavior, and hone their skills. If they can master those three things, the result will be a healthier, more successful organization.
In their article for Harvard Business Review, three researchers from Michigan’s Ross School of Business provide a roadmap to leaders for providing employees with emotional support. As Christina Bradley Lindy Greer and Jeffrey Sanchez-Burks outline, the right response depends heavily on context, in particular, whether someone (1) is working on a time‑sensitive goal and (2) seems to be coping (see FIG 17).

LEADERSHIP AND CULTURE
MICHAEL ARENA, ANDRAS VICSEK, JOHN GOLDEN, AND SCOTT HINES – Cultivating Culture in a Hybrid Context
Because connections are more fragile in hybrid workplaces, it is increasingly important that managers understand the network dynamics of company culture.
Many companies are concerned about the impact of remote and hybrid work on their culture. In their article, Michael Arena Andras Vicsek John Golden, Ph.D. and Scott Hines, PhD, explore how cultural behaviours form and spread across organisations in three work modes: a physical environment, a remote environment, and a hybrid model. They find that prominent cultural behaviours tend to cluster in discernible patterns in each of these modes. The article discusses ways – and provides examples – on how to restore bridges between teams, harness influencers to facilitate change, engage exemplars to model desired behaviours, and reengage the hearts and minds of employees, to improve collaboration, wellbeing and outcomes. One example in the article describes how a large consumer products company launched a series of in-person events to restore bridging connections between their teams in parallel with a reengagement strategy to rebuild their employees’ sense of owning the company’s purpose. This enabled the company to increase connections by 37 percent and positive energy by 20 percent.

DANIEL STILLMAN - The Four Quadrants of Employee Performance
In his essay, Daniel Stillman distils Shake Shack head honcho Danny Meyer’s Four Quadrants of Employee Performance to help explain how to harness the hiring, retention and development of talent to scale company culture intentionally. The four quadrants (see FIG 19) are: (1) Can and Will (“water these flowers”). (2) Can’t and Will (“coach them”). (3) Can’t and Won’t (“put the candle underneath their rear end”). (4) Can and Won’t (“The hardest one…”). For more from Danny Meyer, I recommend watching him in conversation with Adam Grant at the recent Wharton People Analytics Conference, where they discussed: The Hidden Potential of Frontline Workers.

ROUVEN KANITZ, MAX REINWALD, KATERINA GONZALEZ, ANNE BURMEISTER, YIFAN SONG, AND MARTIN HOEGL - 4 Ways Employees Respond to DEI Initiatives
In their article for Harvard Business Review, Rouven Kanitz Max Reinwald Katerina Gonzalez Anne Burmeister Yifan Song and Prof. Dr. Martin Hoegl present their research, which finds that employees respond to DEI initiatives in four ways (see FIG 20): excited supporters, calm compliers, torn shapers, and discontented opponents. The article outlines each of the four profiles, and provides guidance to managers on how they can use the typology to segment their employees, effectively understand the range of responses, and tailor specific interventions to address them.

VIDEO OF THE MONTH
TIM PEFFERS – How to measure productivity
For those of you who haven’t consumed Random Walks in HR, along with Heather Whiteman, Ph.D., Tim Peffers produces the best video blogs in the people analytics field. In this video, Tim builds on his premise that “people analytics will never deliver on its promise without being able to measure individual productivity”, by presenting his proposal to develop a new metric – Productivity Against Replacement (PAR), which as Tim explains is inspired by Bill James’ WAR (Wins Above Replacement) metric.
BOOK OF THE MONTH
MARTIN R. EDWARDS, KIRSTEN EDWARDS, AND DAISUNG JANG – Predictive HR Analytics: Mastering the HR Metric
Having a third edition of a book published is an impressive achievement – and testament to the quality of material. In this third edition of Predictive HR Analytics, Martin Edwards, Kirsten Edwards, and Daisung Jang provide a clear, practical and accessible framework for understanding people data, flourishing with people analytics, and using advanced statistical techniques. Predictive HR Analytics has been adopted by more than 20 universities across the world as a core or recommended text in HR and business analytics courses, and it’s clear to see why.
