Managing Your People as a Workforce of One
Customization is poised to revolutionize the way organizations manage their people. They will no longer treat their workforce as a single entity but instead, treat each employee as a ―workforce of one,‖ offering customized HR and talent management solutions.
The Rise of the Extended Workforce
Organizations will leverage the new extended workforce: a global network of outside contractors, outsourcing partners, vendors, and other nontraditional employees. HR will redefine its mission and mandate to maximize the extended workforce‘s strategic value.
Digital Radically Disrupts HR
Technology, including social, gamification, cloud, mobile, big data and consumer applications, is transforming how people carry out their work—and how HR supports them in that effort.
Reconfiguring the Global Talent Landscape
HR will transform to adapt to a more global world, including adopting new talent sourcing strategies to match talent with task all over the globe, and adopting new management methods, such as supporting mobile workforces across geographic barriers.
Social Media Drives the Democratization of Work
Instead of relying on solutions dictated from the top of the organization, organizations will be populated with knowledge workers who harness social media to create solutions in conjunction with each other, thereby radically disrupting organizational structures, hierarchy, and job titles.
Talent Management Meets the Science of Human Behavior
As new insights into brain science and human behavior emerge—and as analytics finally enable organizations to test hypotheses and form conclusions by analyzing a newly available treasure trove of data—HR will begin to arm itself with the tools and insights of a scientist to drive better performance from their workforces.
