▪︎ The 🆃🆁🅴🅽🅳ing 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 ▪︎ I must admit that each year I wait for the Gartner study on Trends@work. And by far the predictions have been immaculate and hopeful. Let me revise since their 2021: 2021️⃣ Employee life experience | Response to social issues | Gender-wage gap | Employee monitoring restrictions | Location to Time flexibility | Vaccine purchase budgets | Mental health support 2022️⃣ Fairness & Equity index | Vaccine mandate boycott | Work week shortening | Rise in Employee turnover | Managing human relationships | Pandemic tools for performance measurement | Return-to-office mandate | Wellness the new employee metric | Chief Purpose Officer - the next C-level role | Sitting = Smoking | DEI gaps 2023️⃣ Quiet-Hiring | Hybrid flexibility | Skill based recruiting | Pandemic trauma healing| DEI push | Employee support | AI bias| Social skills and now 2024️⃣ Cost-of-work crisis | AI enables | 4 day workweeks | Conflict management @work | Gen-AI backlash | Skills overtake Degrees | Climate consciousness | DEI becomes the way of work | Crash of career stereotypes And right then it strikes me. Mental health is that one trend that has survived (read outrun) the cycles of time. And has silently become a part of our everyday lives - 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆. In the words of Award-winning Professor of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD, Gianpiero Petriglieri - "𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆�� 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒓𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒄, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔.

According to BCG's analysis of 11,000 workers worldwide, nearly 50% of the global workforce is experiencing burnout. Companies must act quickly to prevent severe attrition. Prioritizing these four elements make employees feel most included in their work environments: 1. Access to resources 2. Senior manager support 3. Psychological safety 4. Fair and equal opportunities. When employees feel appreciated, respected, and supported, the incidence of burnout drops. These results are a crucial resource no matter where companies are in their inclusivity journeys. Read the full report: https://on.bcg.com/3ze14e6 #BCGinNorthAmerica

What challenges and opportunities will HR leaders will face in 2024? Based on data gathered from over 500 HR leaders in 40 countries, Gartner’s report clearly shows a gap between awareness and the ability to act when it comes to employee wellbeing, engagement and retention. The factors at play should give us cause for concern and they are: Unsettled employee-employer relationship – nearly 50% of employees stated they can’t continue working like this so it’s not surprising that roughly the same number don’t trust their organisation. They’re being asked to do too much – no amount of reward is worth it. Meanwhile, only 26% of organisations say their employees are on-site when they want them to be. The fracture between employees and those in charge is hurting business. Persistent skills shortage – the days of the great resignation are far behind us, but just over a quarter of CEOs believe talent shortage harms their business outlook. Rising impact of AI on organisation and workforce – the belief in AI is there with 68% of executives thinking that the benefits outweigh the risks. This is great news until you realise that only 22% of HR leaders are ‘highly engaged in enterprisewide discussions on GenAI’. Intention without action will lead to a lack of joined-up thinking. Pressure for operational efficiency – in times of economic uncertainty, it’s natural to keep the numbers in mind but at what cost? So what do we think of Gartner’s predictions for 2024? We’ll share our easily digestible roundup later in the week. #leadershipinsights #hrinsights #predictions #talentacquisition #leadershipcoaching #managementconsulting #efficiency

What a buzz the L&D + HR Symposium was last week! Meeting new friends, catching up with past colleagues while working with 200+ HR L&D gurus sharing the big problems organisations are facing and their predictions for the future. It was unashamedly our play! For Sprouta, as a problem solving ecosystem, it’s all about the problems to solve for and learning about solutions that are working from our community. It’s why our problem solving ecosystem thrives in a world of uncertainty. Some of our conversations included: 💡 Acknowledgment that complex decision making is a human domain not AI + and by design not intuition i.e. Hybrid working…. 💡Adaptive Operating Models and Systems are the future in a vastly changing and uncertain world 💡Skills compensation models are finally top of mind for HR L&D leaders and are more long-term in their strategic vision for the organisation 💡Seeking better data and insights from Strategic Workforce Planning (aligned to your organisation) to prepare to meet immediate and future challenges.  💡How to navigate AI and other emerging technology to level up the approach of talent acquisition, engagement, and retention. 💡The need for Psycho-Social Risk Reviews to develop and implement effective mental health policies and create safe workplaces    💡What a diverse, inclusive, inspiring, fun, courageous, smart and caring community we have in HR & L&D Shout out to Rosanna and the Ashton Media Team for a brilliant event! Loved the sessions with Dr Kathryn Page Pia Neema Damien Woods Feryelle Antar Jacqueline Costelloe Jodette Cleary Philip Anderson Lisa Balster Hajira Shaheen Nicole Chung Kristin Hay Daniel Hulme Arun Pradhan. And our partners Philip Cross Kerry Boys Billye Atout and Angus Stevens. #HR #learninganddevelopment #DiversityInclusion #LDHRSymposium

I wanted to share my reflections from #WHRC2024 now that I am back from Southeast Asia. Being part of this #global conversation over three days at the always-extraordinary Marina Bay Sands was a privilege. As the HR field steadily evolves amid societal, environmental, political, and technological change, fresh approaches to problem-solving need to be disseminated and assessed for business and cultural relevance. Allow me, then, to share some key learnings from the conference, which I hope will spur dialog among those reading: i) It was a treat to see #peopleanalytics guru Fermin Diez - PhD, SPHR, GRP, IHRP-MP, FSID. The panel he moderated made a compelling case for paying more attention to the Zillennial demographic—a micro-generation bridging Millennials with Gen Z that is beginning to have a profound impact on many organizations’ cultures. ii) Following the taxonomy laid out by Dave Ulrich, we can provide clarity to stakeholders by bucketing #humanresources initiatives according to how they can impact a company’s talent, leadership, organizational capabilities, or HR department. iii) Domain knowledge is essential, but as Piyush Gupta pointed out, companies require employees to be able to connect the dots holistically. Re-skilling and re-training employees must take this into account. iv) Sriram Iyer, IHRP - SP clarifies that as AI ramps up across the employee lifecycle, the HR function stands to see a significant upswing in productivity - potentially up to a 30% increase. A moment of #transformation for those managing people is surely on the horizon. v) As the world becomes more complicated, companies must remember their obligation to act as corporate stewards. Shai Ganu spoke about the importance of HR leaders taking ownership of ensuring that ESG, despite politicization, be tapped to enhance strategy.
