Are HR professionals ready to take the wheel for ride?

January 1, 2018

They shape your workplace culture, which becomes reflected in your brand. And they play a key part in the nurturing and retention of top talent. Do you have your communication strategies in place?

You have a big threat. Threat of being left behind. The business situation is challenging. Shareholders are asking more. CEOs are under the pressure of delivering top-line and bottom-line also. We speak about long term sustainability but don’t have the patience to wait for long term. Are HR professionals ready to take the wheel for ride? The business trends are disturbing & accelerating. It seems technology is advancing at an even faster rate than we expected. Many of us are already experiencing effects of these changes. We’re expected to do far more than our predecessors.

So?

What are top HR trends expected in 2018. I am optimistic. Over a period, business is expecting much more from HR. But don’t be too cozy about HR automation or HR analytics. There are all tools. I personally feel that we should understand what is relevant to us and our business. Technology companies have their own marketing gimmicks to create the need of technology. Hence think twice...
