经济与AI焦虑下员工选择“留下”：Mercer 调研显示 73%美国员工暂不跳槽近日，全球人力资源咨询机构 Mercer 发布了其最新年度研究报告 Inside Employees’ Minds 2026，该报告基于超过 4,500 名美国雇员的调研结果，揭示了当前劳动力市场一个耐人寻味的趋势：尽管经济不确定性和人工智能（AI）快速变革带来了前所未有的压力，但大多数员工并未打算离开现有岗位。相较于近几年频繁的人员流动，73% 的美国员工表示他们目前没有认真考虑跳槽，这一比例较2023年的68%进一步攀升。然而，这一看似“稳定留任”的现象，并不意味着员工对工作更忠诚或更满意，而是反映了他们在面对外部不确定因素时的理性权衡和风险规避心理。一、理性留任背后的真实驱动力在通胀持续、医疗成本上升和宏观经济波动加剧的背景下，员工在职业选择上的判断逻辑发生了变化。Mercer 报告指出，70% 的受访者因通胀和生活成本居高不下感到财务压力增加，76% 关注关税及其他宏观经济影响可能带来的连锁反应，56% 甚至担心这些因素最终会影响到自身的岗位稳定性。此外，预计医疗成本今年上涨 6.7%，为过去15年来最高涨幅，这对低收入和小时工群体的影响尤为显著。在这样的经济现实中，薪酬再次成为员工考虑就业选择时最核心的因素。不论是吸引人才还是留住现有员工，薪资因素均位居首位，其次是医疗福利的保障。报告还指出，薪酬透明度已成为重要的基本期待——超过40%的候选人在没有看到薪资区间时不会投递简历。这一现象表明，对于求职者而言，仅有一个职位机会已不足以构成吸引力，明确的薪酬结构和晋升机制正在成为求职市场的基础条件。二、AI落地缓慢但焦虑提前爆发在技术驱动转型浪潮下，人工智能已成为企业内部讨论的重心之一。尽管多数组织倡导AI工具的采用，但员工端的实际使用情况却明显滞后——仅约四分之一的员工表示他们在日常工作中经常使用AI工具，而另一部分员工仍未开始应用AI。这种实际应用与企业预期之间的差距，反映出员工对于AI转型的认知尚未完全成熟。更值得关注的是，超过一半的受访者认为新技术将影响工作安全性，显示出一种普遍存在的“焦虑预期”。与其说员工担心AI技术本身，不如说他们在担心无法清晰判断自身在未来岗位中的定位及技能匹配。这意味着企业如果不能提供明确的AI转型路线图、清晰的角色变化说明和可执行的技能发展路径，员工更可能将AI视为风险，而非机会。 Mercer 的研究团队指出：“当组织能够有效管理员工的日常工作量、明确技能优先级并持续投资员工发展时，AI可以成为推动个人和组织成长的通路，而非焦虑的根源。” 三、灵活性与可兑现的工作体验成为新期待对于工作安排和福利体验，员工的关注重点已经从“福利多寡”转向“是否真的能用得上”。数据显示，大多数员工能够完整使用带薪休假，并且能够根据需要安排休假时间，这与员工的身心健康和家庭照护需求密切相关。无论是混合办公模式、弹性工时安排，还是带薪休假制度，员工更希望这些政策能够兑现，而不是停留在制度层面。这一点在一线岗位和小时工群体中尤为突出。他们的日常工作安排和领导支持程度直接影响到他们能否真正享受这些休假权益，从而影响员工的整体幸福感和对组织的信任感。四、内部发展机会成为留任关键 Mercer 报告显示，高敬业度和高留任意愿的员工往往能够在公司内部看到清晰的职业发展路径。在具有明确晋升机制和内部流动机会的组织中，员工更愿意选择“留下并积极投入”。这一趋势尤其在科技和金融服务行业表现明显，而在医疗与零售等行业中，员工对发展路径的信心则相对较弱。这表明员工对于职业成长的关注已从外部跳槽机会转向企业内部的成长空间。他们不再简单地将跳槽视为晋升渠道，而是希望通过现有组织的技能提升和岗位轮换来实现职业进步。五、员工分层体验差异明显不仅整体趋势值得关注，行业和人群内部的体验差异同样显著。医疗、零售及低收入工种的员工普遍面临更大的财务压力和心理负担，而科技与金融服务行业的员工则表现出更高的敬业度和对职业发展的信心。此外，拥有五到十年工作经验的中坚力量员工在留任意愿和组织投入方面表现尤为突出。这一分化趋势强调了HR在制定人才策略时不再适用于“一刀切”的方法，而需要根据不同岗位、收入水平和职业阶段设计个性化方案，以提升资源投入效能和员工满意度。六、对北美HR的影响与行动建议综合 Mercer 的调研结果可以看出，当前美国劳动力正在进入一种新的稳定与谨慎并存的阶段。员工不选择跳槽并不意味着他们真正稳定，而是在权衡风险和机会后做出的理性选择。在这一背景下，企业与HR组织应重点关注以下几点：构建薪酬透明机制：公开薪资区间和晋升机制，以降低信息不对称带来的不确定感。明确AI转型路线图：提供清晰的角色变化说明、技能要求及培训支持，使AI成为成长杠杆。强化技能发展路径：结合岗位变化设计可执行的员工发展计划，将学习成长与绩效目标结合。提升灵活性体验：确保弹性工作安排和带薪休假等政策真正可用，而非停留在制度层面。分群制定人才策略：针对不同岗位、行业和职业阶段设计差异化留任方案，提高投入回报效率。提升组织沟通透明度：高频、可信的沟通能够显著增强员工对组织的信任和对未来的预期感。对于北美HR而言，未来的留才竞争已不再简单依赖市场供需状况，而更取决于组织能否提供“可预测的职业未来感”。能够有效降低员工的不确定性，并将短期留任转化为长期忠诚的组织，将在人才竞争中获得显著优势。

Why AI is now HR’s business Could the AI revolution also herald a revolution in HR? Generative AI is leaving many businesses in a fix. On the one hand, the potential of the technology is strikingly obvious. Since ChatGPT debuted to the public in late 2022, AI has made extraordinary advances. Coding tools can spin up micro apps from a simple prompt. Chatbots can produce instantaneous research. Video models can create studio-grade clips. Tools like these can supercharge all kinds of work, whether it’s helping create a whole marketing campaign or simply assisting an individual reason through a thorny problem. One estimate sizes the corporate opportunity at $4.4 trillion globally. Yet it can be bewilderingly hard for enterprises to realize those gains. Studies show that generative AI is having limited impact on productivity. Many organizations find themselves either stuck in pilot purgatory, or rolling out initiatives that fail to deliver ROI. Others don't even know where to start. This issue is especially pronounced for smaller enterprises. In fact, research suggests that AI is seen as the number-one challenge by four out of five small business leaders in the UK. Small firms are half as likely to have implemented it compared to larger companies. And within the small companies that have adopted AI, usage is often uneven. Seventy three percent of senior managers use it at least once a month, compared with only 32 percent of entry-level employees. This creates what Kevin Fitzgerald, UK Managing Director of the all-in-one employment platform Employment Hero, calls the “AI advantage gap.” “AI is only delivering productivity gains for some, and that’s a huge problem,” he says. “For technology to drive meaningful change, it needs to be in the hands of everyone.” Human resources (HR) departments are uniquely positioned to help manage some of the challenges around AI adoption. That’s because taking full advantage of the new AI tools available to organizations is more than just an IT project. “AI is all about job redesign, new skills, new organization structures, and new roles for leaders,” says Josh Bersin, a respected HR industry analyst and CEO of HR consultancy The Josh Bersin Company. “HR people are essential as part of companies’ AI transformations.” In practice, this kind of project tends to be easier for smaller businesses, which have fewer employees and less organizational complexity to disrupt. Bersin says that Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) now frequently lead AI-based organizational redesigns. Going further, almost two thirds of IT decision-makers expect their HR and IT teams to merge in the next five years, according to a recent survey. This is already happening at companies such as Moderna, the biotech firm with more than 5,000 employees, which now has a single leader covering both. “HR has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the future of work,” says Fitzgerald. “And it’s important to get this right. Bad AI rollouts can slash personal productivity in half.” So what does HR-led transformation look like in practice? Here we spotlight three ways HR leaders can set their organization up for AI success… 1. HR as pioneers Leading on AI transformation means deeply understanding training needs, integration challenges, employee resistance and—fundamentally—how and where AI offers value. This means HR professionals need real experience of those things themselves. There are many HR tasks to which both traditional machine learning and generative AI is well suited. Much of the press buzz is around recruitment—using AI to source candidates, screen CVs, and automate parts of the application process—but its impact can be much broader. The creative and communication side of the job is a natural fit for the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), which excel both in summarizing and expressing information. Whether it’s drafting job descriptions, communicating complicated policies in plain language, or managing the team’s internal knowledge, there’s plenty that an LLM can help with (so long as it offers appropriate privacy assurances). There are a range of options for deployment, from buying tools that package up an LLM for delivering on a specific use case—such as offering AI training programs or building FAQ chatbots—to simply subscribing to a frontier AI assistant like ChatGPT. The most immediate benefit is the potential gains for the HR team itself. Handing off repetitive tasks to AI can free up time. But it’s also the baseline for any HR team that is planning on leading the way in a business’ AI transformation, because credibility will be vital. That’s not to say that it should only be HR leading the charge on AI—Bersin says that more often than not having a dedicated committee with representatives from HR, legal, and IT is most effective—but it’s a necessary criterion for playing a central role. “It’s about leading by example,” says Fitzgerald. “People don’t want technology forced on them—they want to see its benefits, and be given the freedom and encouragement to explore it.” Of course, much of HR’s AI usage will be internally facing, so there’s a comms job to be done. “My advice to the HR leader would therefore be: share,” says Fitzgerald. “Share the wins that you've had, and actually put them out there to the broader business.” 2. HR as culture definers Establishing the right culture around AI is vital. “It’s the missing link in AI adoption,” says Deepali Vyas, Global Head of Data & AI at global talent advisory firm ZRG. There are two crucial reasons for this. The first is that when a company chooses to roll out AI, it can create ill feelings. People can fear it’s a prelude to cost cutting and job losses. Of course, an organization may be planning to downsize—but equally it could be planning to do more with the same number of people. Whatever the plan, be transparent. If nobody needs to worry about their jobs, tell them. If a restructure is likely, fair dealing and honesty can go a long way to attenuating resentment. HR has the authority and the skills to lead on conveying this information in the most effective and appropriate way. The second reason concerns “shadow AI.” This is where employees use AI tools of their own without telling management, either because they fear for their jobs or because they view AI as a shortcut and don’t want to pull back the curtain on how they get things done. Shadow AI is already widespread; the security firm Varonis estimates that up to 98 percent of employees use shadow AI or shadow IT in some capacity, with employees hiding their AI use out of fear of their employer's reaction. While the primary risks of shadow AI are to do with security and privacy, there is also a more systemic drawback. Top-down AI tool implementation can be important, but companies that don’t also tap into the wisdom of the crowd will miss out on AI opportunities. Generative chatbots are general-purpose tools with the most open-ended interface possible: there are countless different ways to use them, and the people best placed to figure out how this kind of AI can help your business are the people who work there. But you can’t enjoy the fruits of their experiments if they are unwilling to share how they’re using it and what they’re discovering as a result. “You really need to bring shadow AI use to the surface,” Vyas says. “In any case, banning or ignoring shadow AI is not going to make it disappear. It's only going to drive it further underground.” Bringing it out into the light is, again, a question of culture. If IT owns guardrails and platforms, and the C-suite owns vision and accountability, HR owns the people and behaviors piece. In addition to quelling fears that revealing AI usage will jeopardize jobs, HR needs to create forums to encourage sharing across all teams. This could take the form of workshops and hackathons or simply dedicated channels on Slack. There should also be incentives, so that individuals who come up with approaches that create meaningful value are well remunerated for their contributions. “There's a lot of fear versus empowerment,” says Vyas. “HR’s cultural mandate is building a culture of AI fluency, normalizing AI as a partner in work and to build trust around its use.” 3. HR as organization designers AI transformation is not just about rolling out the tools. You need teams with AI literacy, skills and mindsets—teams that are open to new ways of working and to reimagining workflows that have perhaps remained unchanged for decades. You may also need to create new roles like a Chief AI Officer, or hire specialist software developers. “It's about building that future-ready workforce,” says Vyas. HR’s expertise in recruitment and training will be crucial in this effort—only half of employees in SMEs believe their company has done a good job instilling technological know-how—and AI itself can play a powerful role in making a success of it. Forward-thinking organizations weave AI into workforce management, from how workers move internally to how they train and learn, Vyas says. “There’s personalized learning journeys, there's internal mobility recommendations, there's workforce planning tied to all of these business scenarios.” As they scale, companies may wish to rethink their org charts in light of AI. The traditional triangular org chart has been a mainstay since Brigadier General Daniel McCallum unveiled the first example in 1855. But many commentators believe that new architectures will coalesce to reflect how people work best with AI. Microsoft’s Work Trend Index Annual Report 2025 argues that the org chart will be replaced with a “Work Chart,” which it describes as “a dynamic, outcome-driven model where teams form around goals, not functions, powered by [AI] agents that expand employee scope and enable faster, more impactful ways of working.” In practice this means a flatter, more flexible operating model. Firms that have harnessed AI in this way report having more satisfied, more optimistic employees. HR will need to play a pivotal role in managing any such transformation. “That’s not only because most savvy HR leaders are also very good at change enablement,” says Bersin, “but also because this clearly would have implications for pay models, reward systems, and leadership pipeline.” What’s more, Microsoft argues that in a Work Chart world, orchestrating the interplay between humans and AI agents—and getting the balance right—is going to be an emerging area of responsibility for HR. In discharging this duty, they will need to collaborate more closely than ever with technical teams. This shift may seem radical. But, as the aphorism has it, it's easy to underestimate the long-term effects of new technologies. Vyas believes this kind of business architecture will just be “the new normal—and sooner than we might think”. 原文：https://www.wired.com/sponsored/story/employment-hero-why-ai-is-now-hrs-business/

隐性的人才危机：Workday《2025全球劳动力报告》解读概述：Workday最新发布的《2025全球劳动力报告》揭示了一场正在组织内部酝酿的人才危机。虽然外部招聘市场依旧活跃，职位需求在2025年上半年同比增长6%，但内部情况却截然不同：晋升率在10个行业中的11个下滑，内部招聘减少8%，员工发展通道受阻。尤其值得关注的是，高绩效员工正加速离职——零售行业同比上升64%，医疗健康行业上升28%，这对企业的韧性与创新能力构成严重威胁。报告指出，传统职业晋升路径正在失效，企业更倾向于招聘外部候选人，而内部员工缺乏成长与轮岗机会，导致敬业度和忠诚度下降。同时，AI战略的沟通不畅进一步加剧了焦虑。44%涉及AI的员工评论带有负面情绪，55%的求职者认为AI已经减少了就业机会。管理者在转型中承受巨大压力，但缺乏工具和支持，形成了“夹心层”困境。应对这一危机，报告提出三大方向：一是重塑职业发展路径，提供横向调动、项目轮岗和技能提升机会；二是优先推动内部流动，利用数据与AI匹配人才与岗位；三是加强透明沟通，特别是围绕AI的愿景与应用，帮助员工将AI视为成长工具而非威胁。Workday自身的案例表明，以人为本的AI应用能够提升生产力与员工信心，增强战略一致性。报告的核心结论是：未来的人才竞争关键不在于“外部招聘更快”，而在于“留住最好的人”。只有通过重建内部信任与成长路径，企业才能在AI时代保持竞争优势。在全球劳动力市场看似稳定的表象之下，一场深层次的人才危机正在酝酿。Workday在其最新发布的《2025全球劳动力报告》中揭示了一个值得企业高度警惕的事实：外部招聘依旧活跃，但组织内部的人才发展体系正在崩塌。晋升机会锐减、内部流动停滞、高绩效员工加速出走，再加上AI战略沟通不足带来的焦虑感，正在形成一股“隐性的离职潮”，对企业的竞争力和未来发展构成巨大威胁。本文将围绕报告中的关键发现和建议，进行深入解读。外部市场的表象繁荣与内部困境的对比报告指出，从宏观数据看，全球招聘需求仍在上升。2025年上半年职位需求同比增长6%，某些行业甚至保持了高速扩张。例如，酒店业职位需求同比增长61%，科技与通信行业增长29%。这说明企业仍在积极寻找外部人才，尤其在疫情后快速复苏的行业中表现明显。然而，与外部的繁荣相比，组织内部的情况却显得格外冷清。内部晋升率在过去一年下降了8%，10个主要行业中有11个出现了“晋升衰退”。这种外部热、内部冷的矛盾，正是当前人才危机的根源。表面上的招聘火热掩盖了内部人才管理的空心化，员工缺乏成长与发展的空间，导致敬业度下降和离职意愿增强。高绩效员工的加速流失报告中特别强调，高绩效人才正成为离职的“主力军”。在零售行业，高绩效员工的离职率同比增长64%。在医疗健康行业，这一数字也高达28%。这意味着，最能创造价值、推动业绩的员工正在大量流失。他们离开的原因并不是外部市场更具吸引力，而是内部缺乏清晰的成长通道和发展空间。换句话说，他们不是“不想留下”，而是“留不下去”。更为严重的是，这种趋势不仅仅是人员流动问题，而是组织韧性的流失。高绩效人才的离开往往带走了关键知识、客户关系和创新动力，对企业的打击远大于普通员工离职。晋升衰退与职业发展死胡同 “晋升衰退”（Promotion Recession）是报告中的高频词。晋升率下降意味着员工在组织内部看不到未来。内部调动和横向发展机会不足。企业管理者更倾向于招聘外部候选人，而不是信任和培养内部人才。这种倾向表面上似乎有利于引入新鲜血液，但长期而言削弱了组织的忠诚度和凝聚力。员工如果在企业中无法获得横向调动、跨部门学习或参与关键项目的机会，就会感到被忽视，最终选择跳槽。因此，报告提出“重塑职业发展路径”的理念：不仅要提供纵向晋升，还要设计横向项目轮岗、技能提升和跨部门合作，让员工在不同的成长维度中保持挑战感和价值感。 AI战略沟通不畅引发员工焦虑 AI正在重塑工作方式，但报告揭示出另一个被忽视的问题：AI战略的沟通不畅。 44%涉及AI战略的员工评论带有负面情绪。 55%的求职者认为AI已经减少了就业机会。近一半员工表示，他们对AI如何影响岗位和未来缺乏清晰理解。这说明，虽然企业高层有明确的AI发展愿景，例如利用AI提高效率、减少低价值劳动、提升客户体验，但普通员工并没有从中看到自己的位置和未来。缺乏清晰沟通，使得AI不再是机遇，而成为焦虑的来源。报告指出，AI的引入不仅是技术变革，更是文化转型。如果企业不能通过透明沟通、清晰的角色案例和系统性的培训来解释AI的作用，就会在组织内部制造恐慌，削弱员工对未来的信心。管理者承受转型压力在AI转型中，管理者的角色尤为关键。但数据显示，许多一线管理者缺乏足够的资源和支持：他们在“变革资源和支持”的打分仅为7.06分。在“风险评估”和“变革理由阐释”等维度上，得分也低于个人贡献者。这意味着，管理者既要应对来自上层的战略压力，又要安抚基层员工的焦虑，却缺乏相应的工具和培训。这种“夹心层”的困境进一步拖慢了AI转型的步伐。案例启示：Workday的EverydayAI计划报告中引用了Workday自身的案例作为参考。通过“EverydayAI计划”，Workday在六个月内实现了显著成果： 80%的员工使用至少一款AI工具，比基准提高38%。高绩效员工使用AI的可能性是其他人的两倍。使用AI的员工更可能看到清晰的职业路径，并表现出更强的战略一致性。这一案例表明，以人为本的AI战略不仅能提升效率，更能增强员工的归属感与成长感。核心在于将AI转型与文化、沟通和技能建设结合，而非仅仅依赖工具部署。报告建议：重建内部信任与成长路径为应对这场隐性的人才危机，报告提出了三大建议：优先内部成长提供可见的、个性化的职业发展机会。将晋升、横向发展和技能培训与业务需求挂钩。透明沟通战略方向特别是关于AI的应用和影响，要保持一致、开放的沟通。让员工理解AI并非威胁，而是成长的工具。以人为本的AI应用将AI用于释放员工时间、发现潜在机会、提升自主性和归属感。建立反馈循环，帮助员工在使用中不断积累信心。结语：人才危机的关键在“内部” 从宏观角度看，2025年的劳动力市场依旧活跃，但企业面临的真正挑战不在外部招聘，而在于内部人才体系的裂痕。晋升衰退、人才流失和AI焦虑并非孤立事件，而是信任和沟通不足导致的系统性问题。未来的人才竞争不再仅仅是“招聘更快”，而是“留住最好的人”。这需要企业在AI时代重新定义职业发展与组织文化，让员工能够“在企业中成长”，而不是“绕开企业成长”。换句话说，解决隐性的人才危机，核心不在技术，而在人心。

HR and HRIS Trends for 2025: Key Priorities for HR Leaders to Address Today 随着2025年的临近，人力资源（HR）和人力资源信息系统（HRIS）正经历着加速变革的时期。HR流程的数字化、不断变化的员工期望以及新的职场动态，正深刻地重塑组织在人才管理和运营方面的方式。面对这些挑战，HR领导者必须提前洞察趋势并作出调整，以成功推动HR职能的转型。 HR Path作为该领域的领导者，被列入Gartner®《2024年HR转型咨询市场指南》的代表性供应商名单。这一认可彰显了我们在帮助企业进行HR转型方面的专业知识和承诺，使它们能够采用针对未来需求的最佳实践和技术。到2025年，HR领导者不仅需要应对快速变化的环境，还要利用工具和策略，让组织在竞争中保持优势。本文概述了2025年的关键HR和HRIS趋势，并提供了实用的见解，帮助决策者制定策略并应对未来的挑战。 1. HR职能的数字化转型：至关重要的变革 HR流程的数字化已经成为战略重点。自动化行政任务并利用先进的HRIS工具，使HR领导者能够专注于更高价值的活动，如人才管理和提升员工体验。人工智能（AI）和机器人流程自动化（RPA）等技术正在重新定义企业在招聘、培训、绩效管理和福利管理方面的方法。到2025年，HR数字化的步伐将因员工期望和业务效率的需要而进一步加快。 2. 员工体验：HR战略的核心到2025年，员工体验仍将是HR的核心优先事项。员工期望迅速演变，灵活性、自主性、工作场所幸福感和成长机会成为吸引和留住人才的关键因素。 HR领导者需要实施能够为每位员工提供无缝且个性化体验的解决方案，无论他们的工作模式是现场、混合还是远程。HRIS工具通过集中信息、简化行政流程和改进组织内部的沟通，为员工创造一个他们感到被重视和投入的工作环境。 3. 人力资源数据在人才管理中的战略重要性 HR数据在战略决策中变得愈发重要。大数据和HR分析使HR领导者能够更好地理解员工行为、识别关键人才并预测未来技能需求。到2025年，利用HR数据进行战略决策将成为首要任务。企业必须投资于收集、分析和利用HR数据的工具，以优化招聘、绩效管理和劳动力规划流程。定制的仪表板和报告将帮助HR领导者监控其战略的有效性，并根据实际业务需求进行调整。 4. 远程办公与灵活性：混合模式的演变到2025年，混合工作模式将继续占主导地位，但会更加细化。许多公司可能会保留完全或部分远程的工作安排，而另一些公司则逐步恢复到更传统的现场模式，或实施符合其业务和员工需求的混合系统。后疫情时期表明，没有单一方法适合所有组织。有些公司发现远程办公提高了生产力并提供了更大的灵活性，而另一些公司更重视面对面的协作和公司文化的加强。企业需要找到平衡点：对一些公司来说，这可能意味着固定的办公室日以维持团队凝聚力和协同工作。对另一些公司而言，则可能是灵活的混合模式，让员工选择远程或办公室工作时间。 HRIS工具将在管理这种灵活性方面发挥关键作用，包括跟踪考勤、管理缺勤和优化工作日程。这些工具还将衡量这些实践对绩效和员工幸福感的影响。 5. 持续学习与技能发展：战略重点到2025年，持续学习和技能发展将成为中心议题。企业必须预测岗位角色和技能需求的变化，以应对未来挑战。提升技能和重新培养将成为支持员工职业成长的首要任务。 HR领导者应投资于在线培训解决方案、学习管理系统（LMS）和学习体验平台（LXP），以提供灵活、可访问和个性化的培训路径。这些工具将帮助员工保持技能的更新，同时促进他们在组织中的成长。 6. 多样性与包容性：2025年的关键目标多样性与包容性（D&I）将在2025年继续成为优先事项。企业必须实施具体的战略，以促进包容性的工作环境。HR领导者需要确保招聘、职业管理和薪酬实践的公平性和透明性。 HRIS工具应包括跟踪D&I计划和衡量进展的功能。目标是创造一个无论性别、背景或经验如何，每位员工都能茁壮成长的工作场所。 7. 员工幸福感：2025年的重点员工幸福感，特别是心理健康，将成为2025年HR领导者的关键关注点。企业必须引入心理支持计划，促进工作与生活的平衡，并提供更加适应员工需求的工作空间。 HRIS工具可以整合幸福感项目，衡量员工满意度并提供支持服务。到2025年，创造一个健康的工作环境将成为吸引和留住顶尖人才的重要因素。总结 2025年，HR和HRIS趋势将与组织的演进密不可分。为在这场转型中取得成功，HR领导者必须预测不断变化的员工期望，拥抱数字技术，并专注于灵活性、学习、多样性和幸福感为中心的战略。通过今天做出正确的决策，企业不仅可以应对当前的挑战，还能在未来职场中占据领导地位。 As we approach 2025, human resources (HR) and human resource information systems (HRIS) are undergoing a period of accelerated transformation. The digitalization of HR processes, evolving employee expectations, and new workplace dynamics are profoundly reshaping how organizations manage talent and operations. In light of these challenges, HR leaders must anticipate trends and adapt to drive the transformation of their HR functions successfully. HR Path, recognized as a leader in this field, was listed as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for HR Transformation Consulting 2024. This acknowledgment underscores our expertise and commitment to helping businesses navigate HR transformations, enabling them to adopt best practices and technologies tailored to future demands. By 2025, HR leaders will not only have to manage a rapidly changing environment but also leverage the tools and strategies that will keep their organizations competitive. This article provides an overview of key HR and HRIS trends for 2025, offering practical insights to help decision-makers structure their strategies and address upcoming challenges. 1. The Digitalization of HR Functions: A Vital Transformation The digitalization of HR processes is now a strategic imperative. Automating administrative tasks and utilizing sophisticated HRIS tools allow HR leaders to focus on higher-value activities, such as talent management and enhancing employee experiences. Technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA) are redefining how organizations approach recruitment, training, performance management, and benefits administration. In 2025, the pace of HR digitalization will continue to accelerate, driven by employee expectations and the need for overall business efficiency. 2. Employee Experience: The Core of HR Strategy Employee experience will remain at the heart of HR priorities in 2025. Employee expectations are evolving rapidly, with flexibility, autonomy, workplace well-being, and growth opportunities emerging as essential factors for attracting and retaining talent. HR leaders must implement solutions that provide a seamless and personalized experience for every employee, regardless of their role or work model (on-site, hybrid, or remote). HRIS tools play a crucial role in delivering this experience by centralizing information, simplifying administrative processes, and improving communication across the organization. The goal is to create a work environment where every employee feels valued and engaged. 3. The Strategic Importance of HR Data in Talent Management HR data is becoming increasingly central to strategic decision-making. Big data and HR analytics enable HR leaders to better understand employee behaviors, identify key talent, and predict future skill needs. By 2025, leveraging HR data for strategic decision-making will be a top priority. Organizations must invest in tools that collect, analyze, and utilize HR data to optimize recruitment, performance management, and workforce planning processes. Custom dashboards and reports will help HR leaders monitor the effectiveness of their strategies and make adjustments based on real business needs. 4. Remote Work and Flexibility: Evolving Hybrid Models By 2025, the hybrid work model will continue to dominate but with greater nuance. While many companies may maintain fully or partially remote work arrangements, others are gradually returning to more traditional on-site models or implementing hybrid systems tailored to their business and workforce needs. The post-pandemic period has demonstrated that no single approach works for everyone. Some organizations have seen telework boost productivity and offer greater flexibility, while others value physical presence for strengthening company culture and face-to-face collaboration. Businesses will need to strike a balance: For some, this might mean fixed in-office days to maintain team cohesion and synergy. For others, it may involve flexible hybrid models, allowing employees to choose when to work remotely or in-office. HRIS tools will play a key role in managing this flexibility by tracking attendance, managing absences, and optimizing work schedules. These tools will also measure the impact of these practices on performance and employee well-being. 5. Continuous Learning and Skills Development: A Strategic Priority In 2025, continuous learning and skill development will take center stage. Companies must anticipate changes in job roles and required skills to address future challenges. Upskilling and reskilling will become priorities for supporting employees in their professional growth. HR leaders should invest in online training solutions, learning management systems (LMS), and learning experience platforms (LXP) to provide flexible, accessible, and personalized training pathways. These tools will help keep employees’ skills up to date while fostering their growth within the organization. 6. Diversity and Inclusion: Achieving Key Objectives in 2025 Diversity and inclusion (D&I) will remain top priorities in 2025. Companies must implement concrete strategies to foster an inclusive work environment. HR leaders will need to ensure that recruitment, career management, and compensation practices are equitable and transparent. HRIS tools should include features to track D&I initiatives and measure progress. The goal is to create a workplace where every employee, regardless of gender, background, or experience, can thrive. 7. Employee Well-being: A 2025 Priority Employee well-being, particularly mental health, will be a key focus for HR leaders in 2025. Businesses must introduce psychological support initiatives, promote work-life balance, and provide more adaptable workspaces. HRIS tools can integrate well-being programs to measure employee satisfaction and offer support services. By 2025, creating a healthy work environment will be a critical factor in attracting and retaining top talent. In 2025, HR and HRIS trends will be inseparable from organizational evolution. To succeed in this transformation, HR leaders must anticipate changing employee expectations, embrace digital technologies, and focus on strategies centered around flexibility, learning, diversity, and well-being. By making the right decisions today, companies can not only address current challenges but also position themselves as leaders in the future of work.

美国2025年HR发展趋势：数字员工与未来工作场景，大选带来的可能影响 2025年，HR领域将面临前所未有的变革，技术、社会、政治因素共同推动着工作场所的迅速转型。随着AI、数字孪生体、智能代理等技术的加速发展，HR从业者必须应对不断变化的工作环境。与此同时，政治变革，如特朗普有可能在大选中回归执政，将带来政策的不确定性，影响劳动力市场和企业的运营。在这一背景下，HR需要更加灵活、创新和前瞻性。以下是2025年HR发展的八大趋势： 1. 数字员工的全面普及数字员工、数字孪生体和智能代理将在企业中迅速普及，成为HR团队的重要组成部分。通过AI驱动的自动化，HR能够更高效地处理招聘、员工管理、数据分析等任务。比如，数字员工将帮助筛选简历、安排面试、甚至进行员工培训。这不仅能提高HR的工作效率，还将使HR从繁琐的日常事务中解放出来，专注于更具战略意义的任务，如人才保留和文化建设。 2. 远程工作与混合办公的进一步常态化远程工作在全球大流行后逐渐成为常态，2025年这种模式将进一步成熟和优化。HR将需要设计更好的政策来管理远程和混合工作的员工，包括技术支持、绩效评估和团队协作。尤其是在政治环境可能受到影响的情况下，如特朗普重回白宫可能带来的政策变化，公司需要更灵活的劳动力管理方式，以应对政策的不确定性和跨州的不同规定。 3. 多元化与包容性在政治压力下的挑战随着可能的政治环境变化，多元化与包容性可能面临更大的挑战。特朗普回归可能带来对劳动力市场的管制和移民政策的收紧，这将直接影响到HR对全球化人才的招聘。HR需要更加积极地维护职场的多样性与包容性，创造一个公平、包容的工作环境。这也意味着企业需要加强文化敏感度培训，确保在更具分裂性的社会氛围中维护公司内部的和谐。 4. 数据隐私与合规性管理的复杂性增加随着数字员工和智能代理的使用，企业对员工数据的收集和使用将大幅增加，这对HR的隐私和合规管理提出了新的挑战。特别是在美国，如果特朗普再次执政，劳工和数据保护政策可能会有显著变化。HR需要更加密切关注新的法律法规，确保数据的收集和处理符合各州和联邦法律的要求，并保持透明的沟通以赢得员工的信任。 5. 技能提升与终身学习成为HR焦点 2025年，技能差距问题将进一步凸显，尤其是在技术快速发展的背景下。HR需要与培训和学习部门合作，设计持续的技能提升计划，确保员工能够掌握最新的技术和工作方法。随着AI和自动化工具的普及，员工需要具备更高层次的技术技能和问题解决能力，HR也将更多地参与人才的技能重塑，确保企业在竞争中保持优势。 6. 心理健康与员工幸福感得到更多关注心理健康已经成为HR的重要议题，2025年这一趋势将继续深化。随着技术和远程工作的普及，工作与生活的界限日益模糊，HR需要关注员工的心理健康，提供相关支持。这不仅涉及到心理健康资源的提供，还需要通过文化建设和员工关怀政策来提高员工的幸福感。随着美国社会可能面临的政治分裂和不确定性，HR需要积极缓解由此带来的员工焦虑。 7. 劳动力市场的多代际管理 2025年，劳动力市场将由多代人组成，包括婴儿潮一代、X世代、千禧一代以及Z世代。不同代际的员工有着不同的工作方式、价值观和技术适应度。HR必须设计灵活的工作政策，平衡各代员工的需求，特别是在招聘、工作模式和员工发展上。同时，AI和数字员工的崛起将进一步重塑这些代际的工作方式，HR需要帮助员工适应这种新常态。 8. 政治环境对劳工政策的影响如果特朗普在2024年大选中获胜，其政府可能会实施更严厉的劳工政策，影响薪酬、福利、移民和就业法律等方面。 HR需要随时了解政府的政策变化，确保公司运营合规，并积极调整劳动力管理策略。未来几年，美国的政治环境将对企业运营和HR的日常工作产生深远影响，因此HR必须具备应对快速政策变化的灵活性和适应性。结语 2025年，HR将在技术变革和政治环境变化的双重推动下，面临前所未有的机遇和挑战。数字员工的普及将为企业提供更高效的工作方式，但HR也必须重新思考如何在人与技术之间找到平衡，维护企业文化和员工福祉。在不确定的政治环境中，HR需要具备敏捷性和创新精神，帮助企业在复杂多变的环境中实现可持续发展。

The Consortium is catalyzed by the work of the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council's (TTC) Talent for Growth Task Force, with the goal of exploring AI's impact on ICT job roles, enabling workers to find and access relevant training programs, and connecting businesses to skilled and job-ready workers. Working as a private sector collaborative, the Consortium is evaluating how AI is changing the jobs and skills workers need to be successful. The first phase of work will culminate in a report with actionable insights for business leaders and workers. Further details will be shared in the coming months. Findings will be intended to offer practical insights and recommendations to employers that seek ways to reskill and upskill their workers in preparation for AI-enabled environments. Consortium members represent a cross section of companies innovating on the cutting edge of AI that also understand the current and impending impact of AI on the workforce. Individually, Consortium members have documented opportunities and challenges presented by AI. The collaborative effort enables their organizations to coalesce insights, recommend action plans, and activate findings within their respective broad spheres of influence. "AI is accelerating the pace of change for the global workforce, presenting a powerful opportunity for the private sector to help upskill and reskill workers for the future," said Francine Katsoudas, Executive Vice President and Chief People, Policy & Purpose Officer, Cisco. "The mission of our newly unveiled AI-Enabled Workforce Consortium is to provide organizations with knowledge about the impact of AI on the workforce and equip workers with relevant skills. We look forward to engaging other stakeholders—including governments, NGOs, and the academic community—as we take this important first step toward ensuring that the AI revolution leaves no one behind." The Consortium's work is inspired by the TTC's Talent for Growth Task Force and Cisco Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins' leadership of its skills training workstream, and input from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The TTC was established in June 2021 by U.S. President Biden, European Commission President von der Leyen, and European Council President Michel to promote U.S. and EU competitiveness and prosperity through cooperation and democratic approaches to trade, technology, and security. "At the U.S. Department of Commerce, we're focused on fueling advanced technology and deepening trade and investment relationships with partners and allies around the world. This work is helping us build a strong and competitive economy, propelled by a talented workforce that's enabling workers to get into the good quality, high-paying, family-sustaining jobs of the future. We recognize that economic security and national security are inextricably linked. That's why I'm proud to see the efforts of the Talent for Growth Task Force continue with the creation of the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. "I am grateful to the consortium members for joining in this effort to confront the new workforce needs that are arising in the wake of AI's rapid development. This work will help provide unprecedented insight on the specific skill needs for these jobs. I hope that this Consortium is just the beginning, and that the private sector sees this as a call to action to ensure our workforces can reap the benefits of AI." The AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium's efforts address a business critical and growing need for a proficient workforce that is trained in various aspects of AI, including the skills to implement AI applications across business processes. The Consortium will leverage its members and advisors to recommend and amplify reskilling and upskilling training programs that are inclusive and can benefit multiple stakeholders – students, career changers, current IT workers, employers, and educators – in order to skill workers at scale to engage in the AI era. In its first phase of work, the Consortium will evaluate the impact of AI on 56 ICT job roles and provide training recommendations for impacted jobs. These job roles include 80% of the top 45 ICT job titles garnering the highest volume of job postings for the period February 2023-2024 in the United States and five of the largest European countries by ICT workforce numbers (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands) according to Indeed Hiring Lab. Collectively, these countries account for a significant segment of the ICT sector, with a combined total of 10 million ICT workers. Consortium members universally recognize the urgency and importance of their combined efforts with the acceleration of AI in all facets of business and the need to build an inclusive workforce with family-sustaining opportunities. Consortium members commit to developing worker pathways particularly in job sectors that will increasingly integrate artificial intelligence technology. To that end, Consortium members have established forward thinking goals with skills development and training programs to positively impact over 95 million individuals around the world over the next 10 years. Consortium member goals include: Cisco to train 25 million people with cybersecurity and digital skills by 2032. IBM to skill 30 million individuals by 2030 in digital skills, including 2 million in AI. Intel to empower more than 30 million people with AI skills for current and future jobs by 2030. Microsoft to train and certify 10 million people from underserved communities with in-demand digital skills for jobs and livelihood opportunities in the digital economy by 2025. SAP to upskill two million people worldwide by 2025. Google has recently announced EUR 25 million in funding to support AI training and skills for people across Europe. Accenture "Helping organizations identify skills gaps and train people at speed and scale is a major priority for Accenture, and this consortium brings together an impressive ecosystem of industry partners committed to growing leading-edge technology, data and AI skills within our communities. Reskilling people to work with AI is paramount in every industry. Organizations that invest as much in learning as they do in the technology not only create career pathways, they are well positioned to lead in the market." - Ellyn Shook, chief leadership & human resources officer, Accenture Eightfold "The dynamics of work and the very essence of work are evolving at an unprecedented pace. Eightfold examines the most sought-after job roles, delving into the needs for reskilling and upskilling.

The best HR & People Analytics articles of December 2023 The December edition of my monthly compendium is an opportunity to reflect on the year that has nearly passed and look forward to what lies ahead. 2023 has proved to be another challenging year full of geopolitical tension, economic uncertainty, and climate inaction. For HR and people analytics professionals, it has been a year dominated by generative AI, skills, and the continuing journey of HR from support function to strategic partner. HR’s elevation to being a strategic partner is the underlying theme of my recently published 12 Opportunities for HR in 2024 article (see FIG 1). If you’d like to contribute suggestions for opportunities 11 and 12, please click here and add your suggestion in the comments. FIG 1: 12 Opportunities for HR in 2024 (Source: David Green) Despite managing to catch Covid on the flight home, I thoroughly enjoyed my recent trip to India, at the end of November, where I spoke at the Indeed FutureWorks event in Bangalore. A huge thank you to Aarti Deoskar, Jessie Paul, Rittik Mondal, Rohan Sylvester, and the Indeed team for inviting me. Looking for a new role in people analytics or HR tech? Before we get to this month’s collection of resources, I’d like to once again highlight the wonderful resource created by Richard Rosenow and the One Model team of open roles in people analytics and HR technology, which now numbers nearly 500 roles. Happy Holidays! I wish all readers who are taking a break over the festive season Happy Holidays, and a prosperous and healthy 2024. Thank you to everyone who has supported Insight222, myHRfuture and the Digital HR Leaders Podcast in 2023. It’s much appreciated. Share the love! Enjoy reading the collection of resources for December and, if you do, please share some data driven HR love with your colleagues and networks. Thanks to the many of you who liked, shared and/or commented on November’s compendium (including those in the Comments below). If you enjoy a weekly dose of curated learning (and the Digital HR Leaders podcast), the Insight222 newsletter: Digital HR Leaders newsletter is published every Tuesday – subscribe here. 2023 HR RETROSPECTIVES AND 2024 PREDICTIONS DAVE ULRICH - The State of HR: Looking Back and Envisioning Forward | McKINSEY - What matters most? Eight CEO priorities for 2024 | CULTURE AMP - 7 trends that will define HR in 2024 | KEN OEHLER - RADICL People Predictions for 2024 | VISIER – The New Rules of HR: 10 Workforce Trends for 2024 | i4CP – 2024 Priorities and Predictions Putting my own 12 Opportunities for HR in 2024 to one side, there are a plethora of other trends and predictions being published. Six resources that I recommend digging deeper into come from Dave Ulrich, McKinsey, Culture Amp, RADICL, Visier Inc. and Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp). (1) Dave Ulrich looks back on the main themes in HR in 2023, declares “Now is the time for HR,” and outlines four areas where his firm, The RBL Group, will be conducting think tanks in 2024. (2) Homayoun Hatami and Liz Hilton Segel of McKinsey present eight CEO priorities for 2024 including Learn to love your middle managers. (3) Didier Elzinga and Damon Klotz co-opt contributions from Stacia Sherman Garr, Justin Angsuwat, Dr Kirstin Ferguson AM, and Hung Lee for their thoughtful seven trends that will define HR in 2024 including greater pay transparency, staying human as intelligent tech evolves, and regaining trust. (4) RADICL’s Ken Oehler presents five people predictions for 2024, with my favourite being #4 Attention Shifts to Solving Distributed Team Effectiveness (see FIG 2 for RADICL’s model of distributed team effectiveness: Coordination, Connection and Competence). (5) Visier collect trends from a number of industry luminaries and practitioners including Wendy Evesque, Michael Salva, Melissa Arronte, and Eric Bokelberg, with the lead trend being: The CHRO Leads From the Outside-In. (6) Last but not least, in his Foreword to i4CP’s annual look at priorities and predictions, Kevin Oakes highlights the dominance of AI and provides an illuminating insight on the direct correlation between the adoption of AI and business performance: “AI Innovators are more likely to have higher market performance, increased levels of innovation and productivity, and healthier cultures than those that have been slower to adopt AI.” Now is the time for HR FIG 2: The Collaboration Opportunity for distributed team effectiveness (Source: RADICL) PEOPLE ANALYTICS ROB BRINER - Evidence-based HR and people analytics are the same, right? Afraid not Rob Briner examines the relationship between people analytics and evidence-based HR, explaining each of them, outlining the differences (see FIG 3) and concluding that: “While people analytics is a welcome and necessary development within the HR profession and certainly goes some way to helping HR become more effective, it is not, on its own, enough.” Rob also highlights the three key principles of evidence-based HR: (1) Incorporate multiple sources and types of evidence and information. (2) Adopt a structured and explicit process of gathering and using evidence. (3) Focus on the most trustworthy and relevant evidence. FIG 3: Differences between people analytics and evidence-based HR (Source: Rob Briner) PATRICK COOLEN - Establishing people analytics as a common practice (part II) This article by Patrick Coolen, which follows up Part 1 where he presented his People Analytics FIT model, dovetails nicely with Rob Briner’s article as it focuses on the evidence-based HR services provided by people analytics functions. In the article, Patrick recommends that to establish people analytics as a common practice companies should not only focus on becoming more mature in the evidence-based HR services but in integrating these services too. Patrick provides a roadmap to achieving this (see FIG 4) as well as outlining three reasons for integration: (1) Integration leads to faster and higher-quality delivery. (2) Integration attracts experienced people analytics leaders. (3) Integration supports being a strategic advisor. High impact people analytics practices integrate various evidence-based HR services FIG 4: Road map strategies for people analytics practices (Source: Patrick Coolen) JAAP VELDKAMP AND HELEEN GOET - How to determine your success KPIs in HR This is a great article by Patrick Coolen’s erstwhile colleague and successor as Head of People Analytics at ABN Amro, Jaap Veldkamp. In the article, Jaap – together with Heleen Goet – outline the process followed at ABN Amro for establishing a clear link between each HR service and its impact on business outcomes. It outlines a ‘define your success’ workshop conducted between the people analytics team and HR at the bank to link each service to output and outcomes (see example in FIG 5). The article also outlines two benefits of this approach: (1) It leads to better collaboration between various teams in HR. (2) It magnifies the broader advisory role of people analytics. FIG 5: Source: Jaap Veldkamp and Heleen Goet NAOMI VERGHESE AND DAVID GREEN - The Importance of Ethics in People Analytics for Leading Companies Naomi Verghese and I explore the critical topic of ethics, which is one of the eight characteristics of Leading Companies in People Analytics identified in the recently published Insight222 People Analytics Trends study. In the article, Naomi and I outline three key practices on ethics adopted by Leading Companies in their people analytics work. (1) Strong Ethical Principles - including the development of an Ethics Charter, with an example from Jaap Veldkamp of ABN AMRO. (2) Open Communication – including the ‘Fair Exchange of Value’, with a contribution from Dawn Klinghoffer on the importance of communicating value to employees. (3) Ethics Oversight – including the institution of an ethics and privacy council (see FIG 6). The “Fair Exchange of Value” is a key mantra for people analytics teams. If employees understand how their data will be used and see the benefit, it is far more likely that they will contribute data. FIG 6: Ethics and Privacy council for people analytics (Source: Excellence in People Analytics by Jonathan Ferrar and David Green) TOM REDMAN AND TOM DAVENPORT - The Rise of Connector Roles in Data Science In our research at Insight222, one of the characteristics of Leading Companies is that they invest in three key skills in their people analytics team: consultants, data scientists and behavioural scientists. In their article, Tom Redman and Tom Davenport outline the role of connectors, who bridge the organisational gaps that often thwart success with data science projects, and whose key responsibilities mirror many of those attributed to the people analytics consultant in the Insight222 Operating Model. These include: (1) Framing the problem to be solved. (2) Translating between business and technical people. (3) Communicating requirements, progress, and issues within the team. (4) Keeping track of progress toward the overall goal of deployment and organisational change when nobody else sees the big picture. The article outlines how connectors close the gap, provides guidance on how to manage connectors, and provides examples of what companies are trying in this area. Connectors help senior business leaders understand both the potential and challenges of data science, help data science leaders understand the top problems facing the business, and establish a portfolio of data science projects that aligns with business needs.

Five are highlighted here: (1) Ben Teusch, part of Meta’s people analytics team, provides a helpful to attrition metrics (see FIG 7). (2) Sara Tiew provides insights from UOB’s culture transformation journey over the last 12 months.

(5) The nearly as prolific Matthew Hamilton explains why the maxim of people assuming that the better the data quality, the better the analysis is often not correct. FIG 7: Source: Ben Teusch GENERATIVE AI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK PLACID JOVER - The Future of Work is Flexible In this article, Placid Jover, Chief Talent and Reward Officer, presents three innovations Unilever is making to embrace a move from owning to accessing talent. (1) The Skills Passport (“As companies jostle to build a complete picture of what they need and how to get there, we’re fast learning that the real currency is skills”). (2) The Internal Talent Marketplace (“We have already seen a 40% increase in productivity and a significant reduction in attrition directly linked to Flex Experiences”). (3) The Pixelated Workforce (“Breaking down work into its core elements or “pixels”, then dividing those up between permanent staff and contractors, with the AI recommending teams or individuals for missions based on how they work with others as well as how they perform”). For more from Placid, I recommend listening to this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How Unilever is Creating New Ways of Working for Its Employees.

Their research identifies the rise of a new type of city, the ‘Meta City,’ which combines elements of physical clustering with digital connectivity (see FIG 8). They argue that this makes location strategy even more important including corporate headquarters, innovation centres, and satellite offices — and more significantly, talent attraction and retention. A must-read for those involved in talent intelligence, hybrid work strategy and strategic workforce planning. FIG 8: Ranking the world’s Meta Cities (Source: Florida et al) PETER JOHN LAMBERT, NICHOLAS BLOOM, STEVEN DAVIS, STEPHEN HANSEN, YABRA MUVDI, RAFFAELLA SADUN, AND BLEDI TASKA - Research: The Growing Inequality of Who Gets to Work from Home Data is increasingly showing that there is a large and growing divide in terms of who gets to work from home. In their Harvard Business Review article, Peter John Lambert, Nick Bloom, Steven J. Davis, Stephen Hansen, Yabra Muvdi, Raffaella Sadun, and Bledi Taska, Ph.D. present research on job postings, which finds that remote work is far more common for higher paid roles, for roles that require more experience, for full-time work, and for roles that require more education. Managers should be aware of this divide, as it has the potential to create toxic dynamics within teams and to sap morale. For more from Nick Bloom, tune in to his conversation with me on the Digital HR Leaders podcast: Unmasking Common Myths Around Remote Work.

SHRIER, JULIAN EMANUEL, AND, MARC HARRIS – Is Your Job AI Resilient? | NADA R. SANDERS AND JOHN D. WOOD - The Skills Your Employees Need to Work Effectively with AI A key opportunity for HR in 2024 will be to prepare the organisation and HR for the age of AI. Here are five articles that support this imperative. (1) LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky highlights three big shifts to support success a) redefine jobs as a collection of a skills and tasks, not titles, b) bring skills and workforce learning to the centre of talent management, and c) embrace AI to focus teams on human-to-human collaboration, and shares examples from IBM, Genpact, Unilever as well as LinkedIn. (2) Gianni Giacomelli provides more detail on the Genpact example cited by Ryan in his article explaining how they have connected internal mobility, learning, engagement and collaboration (see FIG 10). (3) The brilliant Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic digs into the science to present four ways that AI is better at predicting potential including how AI can increase fairness and diversity. (4) David Shrier, Julian Emanuel, and Marc Harris outline their research on which jobs will be most affected by AI, including which stand to benefit the most from augmentation by AI (see FIG 11). (5) Nada Sanders and John Wood present findings from their research, which highlights two key areas of investment in skills related to AI: a) effective interpersonal skills, and 2) domain knowledge that can help workers get the most — and make the best decisions — when working with AI tools.

Two resources exploring perspectives from chief human resource officers and how the role is changing. Firstly, the KennedyFitch team of Maria Neicu, Joan Beets, Frank van den Brink, Beau Hoes, and Edis Pajic share the findings from structured interviews with 30 CHROs including Janine Vos, Katarina Berg, Paulo Pisano (also see episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast with Paulo below), Mala S., and Loren I. Shuster. The report is framed around the concept of humanised growth, which is defined as: “Humanized Growth addresses the needs of all shareholders, consumers, colleagues, community and the capital Markets.” It explores the role of the people function as a strategic partner, how to harness technology for impact, how to advance diversity, equity and inclusion, and why humanised growth starts with the employee experience. The second article from McKinsey examines the evolution of the HR operating model, how CHROs are putting the ‘human’ back into human resources, how GenAI will affect the HR function, and how CHROs can build the leadership capabilities required for an agile transformation. WORKFORCE PLANNING, ORG DESIGN, AND SKILLS-BASED ORGANISATIONS RICHARD ROSENOW - The SOAPI Framework - A New Lens for Modern Workforce Planning Richard Rosenow is one of the best thinkers in our field and demonstrates it with his paper for One Model introducing his SOAPI framework for workforce planning. As he explains, it is a methodology that offers a structured method to break workforce planning into component parts. Each component represents a pillar, collectively forming the discipline of workforce planning. These are: (1) Strategy, (2) Operations (3) Analytics, (4) Planning, and (5) Intelligence. The paper breaks each of these down, and details what happens if one of these pillars is missing (see FIG 12).

Scott defines zero-based workforce planning as “A methodology that can shape how businesses align their human capital with organizational goals and enable a more cost-effective solution that gets closer to having the right people at the right time.” His article provides a step by step guide to creating a dashboard (available here) that utilises outputs from ChatGPT for demand and aligns them with the supply of FTEs, facilitating the understanding of capability gaps. FIG 13: Source: Scott Reida JEFF WILLIAMSON AND DONNCHA CARROLL - How to Start Smart With a Talent Marketplace Despite some of the hype, launching an internal talent marketplace can be a significant challenge for organisations. In this article, Jeffrey Williamson and Donncha Carroll share the journey to implementing a talent marketplace at Booz Allen and the key lessons learned with regards to user adoption and change management. The article outlines four lessons: (1) Bring on the gamification (gamifying learning and offering recognition and rewards to employees who invested in their own development). (2) Data goals must be relevant to individual career goals. (3) Even change management needs to change (see FIG 14). (4) Momentum, motivation, and measurement matter a great deal.

In the paper, the authors (Brian Fisher, Melba Gant, Vasilis Hatzopoulos, Katie Jenkins, ?Heather Ryan , and Peter Stevenson) outline the benefits of skills-based practices (see FIG 15), how to build a skills foundation, how to determine the frequency of skill assessment, how to tackle skills-based rewards programs, and provide five steps to building a skills-based talent strategy: (1) Build the business case. (2) Align the key performance indicators. (3) Design with the end in mind. (4) Prioritise change management. (5) Drive and sustain. Also features contributions from Amy Baxendale and Anshul Sheopuri. FIG 15: The benefits of skills-based practices (Source: Mercer) EMPLOYEE LISTENING, EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, AND EMPLOYEE WELLBEING NICK LYNN - Can you have high employee engagement and high turnover? Nick Lynn reveals that nearly 20% of companies have both high employee engagement and high turnover; and then provides a wealth of guidance on what you can do about it if that’s the case for your company. He breaks down employee engagement and although it can be related to retention, why it is different. Nick shares insightful research from the CIPD on the and WTW on the drivers of employee engagement and experience, with the latter providing analysis and guidance on the links between engagement, performance, and retention. The article highlights WTW research by angela paul and Stephen Young, where they segmented 350 companies according to both the level of employee engagement and the level of retention, comparing each to their respective industry average (see FIG 16), and how companies in the top right quadrant (‘Value Drive’) also have a performance advantage, delivering the best profits and growth (also see FIG 16). Finally, Nick outlines a three-step approach for companies in the Value Risk category: Understand — Prioritise — Spark Change. I also recommend subscribing to Nick’s equally insightful EX Leadership Newsletter. FIG 16: Source – WTW INDRANEEL BANERJEE, AVINASH CHANDRA DAS, JATIN PANT, AND SHIKHA SHARMA - Employee experience still matters: Talent retention at GCCs While focused on ways to improve employee retention at Global Capability Centres, the five actions to improve employee experience outlined by Indraneel 'Indy' Banerjee, Avinash Chandra Das, Jatin Pant, and Shikha Sharma in their article for McKinsey could be implemented in other business areas. The five actions are (1) Use personas and journeys to customise EX. (2) Reimagine the role of manager to emphasise coaching and mentorship (see FIG 17). (3) Find new ways to embed culture and values for a hybrid work environment. (4) Redesign the office for collaboration and connection. (5) Rethink the traditional workday. Executives should treat EX as seriously as CX by being more scientific and more tailored in their approach.

That’s the unlikely – but ultimately captivating – exam question tackled by BCG’s Rainer Strack, Dr. Susanne Dyrchs, and Allison Bailey in their absorbing Harvard Business Review article. The authors present the seven steps they typically use to conduct a corporate strategy project and show how these can be adapted to an individual (see FIG 18). They then describe each of the seven steps with insights and powerful visualisations, as well as demonstrating how to develop a personal life strategy and summarise it on a single page. File under must-read.

Three standout findings are (1) Employees who had positive work experiences reported better holistic health, are more innovative at work, and have improved job performance. (2) For employees, good holistic health is most strongly predicted by workplace enablers, while burnout is strongly predicted by workplace demands (see FIG 19). (3) Organisational, team, job, and individual interventions that address demands and enablers can boost employee holistic health. FIG 19: Source: McKinsey Health Institute DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING McKINSEY - Diversity matters even more: The case for holistic impact The fourth report in a McKinsey series stretching back to 2015, investigating the business case for diversity. The main takeaway is that the 2023 study finds that the business case is the strongest it has been yet with leadership diversity being convincingly associated with business performance, societal impact and employee experience (see FIG 20). The full 52 page report details case studies from the likes of IHG Hotels & Resorts, DHL Group, and Air New Zealand, as well as presenting five levers for change for moving from commitment to action. Kudos to the authors: Dame Vivian Hunt, Sundiatu Dixon-Fyle, Celia Huber, Maria del Mar Martinez, Sara Prince, and Ashley Thomas. FIG 20: The business case for diversity on executive teams and financial outperformance (Source: McKinsey) 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: ERNEST NG - What Matters Now: Embracing the New Era of Disclosures for All HR Technology Stakeholders – Ernest Ng, PhD of HiredScore explains why disclosure is a critical tool to maintain trust and legitimacy across four areas (1) Employer Disclosure with Candidates/Employees. (2) Solution Provider Disclosures to the Buyer. (3) Organisational Disclosures to the Government. (4) Industry Analysts with Consumers – the latter is one, I’d personally like to see more of us talking about as we head into 2024. JAMAL MAZYCK - How Employee Resource Groups help build a culture of belonging - Jamal Evan Mazyck, Ed.D provides insights from Atlassian’s journey in building Employee Resource Groups, and how they engender a sense of belonging: “It’s not enough to recruit talent from underrepresented groups and give them equal access to opportunities; once they’re in the door, these employees need to feel that they belong.” STEVE HUNT - The Skills Management Revolution: one-year, two-year, and three-year predictions – SAP’s Steve Hunt breaks down skills management in his article, which covers what it is, why it’s important, the three ontologies companies are building with skills management solutions (labour market, organisational and employee/candidate/contractor), and a one, two, and three year outlook on how these solutions will reshape the nature of work and organisations. FIG 21: Source – Steve Hunt FRANCISCO MARIN - Reducing Employee Attrition with ONA: A Case Study from a European IT Company - Francisco Marin from Cognitive Talent Solutions presents a case study of a European IT company to showcase how ONA can be used to help predict and mitigate attrition, ultimately leading to a more stable and productive workforce. PHIL ARKCOLL - Developer Experience: The Developer Centric Approach to Productivity - Another great read from Philip Arkcoll of Worklytics.
