What's HR for? If ever there was a time for #HRDs to prove their strategic value, it's now The war in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, the sharpening climate crisis, political change, economic uncertainty, and the emergence of AI aren’t merely temporary challenges for businesses any more than the shift towards inclusion and working from anywhere are "fads" that will fade. They are all signs that we have entered an era of unprecedented continuous turbulence and uncertainty in which the ability to anticipate, adapt and align will be crucial to business survival, let alone success. How well prepared for this are you, your leaders, and your business? From a strategic perspective the next decade represents an evolving revolution across our complex demographic, social and technological landscapes - with some geopolitical and climate shocks inevitably thrown in and absolutely guaranteed to shake us badly. Governments will struggle to keep up. Some will fail. Globalisation itself may give way to isolationism. Many people sense this. Millions are struggling and feel threatened and anxious. Everyone is under increasing pressure; customers, employees, and leaders. Leadership and leadership values – good and bad - are increasingly (and rightly) exposed and judged. Great #CEOs and great #HRDs know that the role of #HR is to nurture the fabric and functioning of the organisation so that it can succeed - not just this week, but over the long term. These leaders think strategically and are the driving force behind the collective thinking and values that will enable their organisations to navigate the future successfully. What do you think HR leaders should be doing right now? We've researched the macro trends that will impact leaders and businesses as we head towards 2030, and have studied the implications. Our conclusion is that existing approaches to leadership and organisation will struggle to respond and adapt within the timescales that the emerging environment will in future allow. New thinking is required. New approaches are essential. We have some insights that might help you and your business to thrive. Get in touch if you'd like to hear them. enablingtalent.com

Great share Teresa Vozza to reflect on the realty check that cannot be ignored - the pandemic has changed the employment relationship. What I have discovered as a pattern from 30+ years as an HR leader is that many people leaders do not trust employees and behave in a manner that employees begin to just “show up” and do the bare minimum to meet expectations. When leaders set clear expectations and hold employees capable AND believe they are trustworthy to do the right thing, employees will engage and perform beyond expectations. The framework below can be applied at any scale with conscious effort and commitment to learn new behaviours: 1️⃣ FOCUS on what is most important and communicate expectations clearly including requesting and accepting feedback. 2️⃣ UNDERSTAND employees preferences and strengths and create opportunities to use them, even when you may think there is a different approach. 3️⃣ LOVE and care about what you as a people lead are most passionate about doing, then engage employees who have the strengths and preferences to do the things you may loathe. 4️⃣ LEGACY living in every moment will create the impact you desire that supports and maximizes your expectations with lasting effect. Be courageous to think differently, to learn and engage with employees in new ways, you may be surprised at the profound shift in results to meet your expectations.

HR Leadership is more difficult now than ever before. When I reflect on how the LABOUR movement has changed since 2020, just WOW. Consider this: ℹ️A spiking cost of living increases have resulted in employee bitterness and resentment, not to mention an increase of union organizing activity (think Amazon) ℹ️Covid-19 has accelerated the importance of work proximity - where you work and how you work under close scrutiny (many companies STILL struggling with remote work debate) ℹ️AI and automation has created an urgency for innovation thinking and skills in maintaining and deploying technology (technology was hard to recruit for before, now it’s even harder!) ℹ️Low wage work is becoming harder and harder to recruit talent for and “no shows” are a growing reality in companies that require high levels of customer service The days of getting a job and keeping a job and “just dealing with the stressors” are all but gone. Now, there are not enough people to fill hiring quotas. The power differential is real. More and more employees are no longer willing to “deal with it”. These challenges require one critical leadership skill - RESILIENCE. Resilience, far from being yet another well-being initiative, is a leadership mindset worth investing in. Why? Because it’s “just in time” training and development that answers the question: What do my leaders need MOST right now to grow our business? Generic leadership development training focuses on - ugh a word I dislike - competencies. All 17 of them. Please make it stop. 💡 HR LEADERS: Ditch the competencies. Focus on the KEY behavioral abilities needed RIGHT NOW to help your leaders advance the transformation agenda. I can help you. I am a former Chief HR Officer and Founder of Crucible Executive and Leadership Development company. A certified executive coach and trainer, I work with senior leaders to build resilience acumen into their top teams, resulting in a culture primed to adapt and innovate.

Job descriptions are a great way to quickly become familiar with emerging business trends. HR leadership JDs, especially, show what’s top of mind for business leaders and what organizations prioritize. ⚓️ HR leaders don't just play a role in implementing hybrid work models or solving interpersonal conflicts. The real focus is strengthening an organisation's growth and make it sustainable. 🚀 For a very long time, DEI was a dominant theme in most HR JDs, appearing as a top priority. Companies looked for leaders who could not only understand DEI but also innovate around the importance of creating inclusive workplaces and addressing systemic inequities. 🚀 More recently, the emphasis in HR JDs has shifted to AI and organizational transformation. The ability to lead AI-driven initiatives and manage large-scale organizational transformations has become a key competency. That's about what leaders must bring to the table. 🚀 Before that, there was a time when HR JDs focused on navigating uncertainty, and even before that it was all about well-being and mental health. ⚓️ This doesn’t mean that, for example, DEI has faded into the background or become less important. DEI has become a core, non-negotiable element of business strategy. It's an essential, assumed competency for any HR leader. Same goes for the most of the other prior focus areas. 🪢 Changing priorities within HR roles aren’t just about what’s trending. They’re a signal of what businesses are preparing for. JDs can be helpful and a quick, efficient way for HR leaders to anticipate the skills, knowledge and experience they need to stay relevant and lead effectively. #HRinsights #employeeengagement #futureofwork #businessstrategy #strategy #HR #AIinHR #transformation

Unleashing Organizational Growth through HR Leadership! In the pursuit of organizational growth, Human Resources (HR) plays a critical role often overlooked by entrepreneurs. While some perceive HR as a mere administrative burden, enlightened leaders recognize its strategic significance. However, a persistent gap remains – the alignment between leadership and HR. Considering HR a liability reflects a misconception of its strategic importance. Effective leadership demands acknowledging HR as a vital partner in achieving business objectives. By fostering collaboration and communication with HR leaders, entrepreneurs can harness their workforce's full potential to drive growth. HR's mandate extends far beyond administrative tasks; it encompasses strategic workforce planning, talent management, and organizational development. This broader function requires active engagement between leaders and HR to synchronize goals, strategies, and initiatives. Leaders must realize that HR holds invaluable insights into the organization's most critical asset – its people. Integrating HR into strategic decision-making processes empowers leaders to leverage this expertise to drive innovation, optimize resource allocation, and mitigate risks. In conclusion, perceiving HR as a liability inhibits organizational growth. Effective leadership entails recognizing HR's strategic value and fostering collaboration to align workforce goals with business objectives. By embracing HR as a strategic partner, entrepreneurs can unlock their workforce's full potential and drive sustainable growth.

It was an honour to meet sir Nathan SV in the latest @NHRDN event and learn about essential qualities and challenges faced by effective Human Resources (HR) leaders and three key attributes that distinguish successful HR leaders: 1. Business Acumen and People Management - Effective HR leaders possess a comprehensive understanding of both the business operations and the human elements within the organization. They skillfully manage these aspects to align with and achieve organizational goals. 2. Strategic Thinking - These leaders maintain a strategic focus, prioritizing long-term objectives over immediate tasks. They ensure that their actions are in harmony with the broader goals of the organization. 3. Forward-Thinking and Adaptability - HR leaders are proactive, anticipating future challenges and opportunities. They gain insights through experiences and interactions, allowing them to adapt to changes effectively. Also highlighted several emerging challenges: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Technological Disruption - HR leaders must understand and leverage AI and other technologies to enhance their effectiveness and efficiency. Managing Diverse Workforces - The rise of gig workers, temporary workers, and hybrid work models presents a challenge in integrating these diverse groups into a cohesive organizational culture. Change Management - With the adoption of hybrid work models and constant organizational changes, HR leaders must manage transitions effectively to keep employees engaged and Effective HR leadership requires a blend of strategic foresight, adaptability, and a deep understanding of both business and human dynamics. As the HR landscape continues to evolve, leaders must be prepared to face new challenges and leverage emerging opportunities to drive organizational success.
