Tomorrow's Talent, Today’s Priority
Helping you to create strategic workforce readiness solutions
Leaders are facing complex and conflicting challenges, whether its global skills shortages, economic uncertainty or technology disruption. Responding to these successfully, while delivering on what’s needed tomorrow is daunting but what is certain is that many of today’s biggest business challenges are - in reality - people challenges.
People functions therefore need to step into a new era where HR transcends its traditional roles, becoming a key architect in building agile, resilient organisations ready for the future. Where HR strategy is not just about managing talent but leading with it. Not just aligning with business but propelling it forward.
This strategic approach is critical, not only to your People Function but to the future of organisations as a whole.
The goal? A people function operating model that works for now, and for the future.
- Future People Function decisions will be shaped by predictive and prescriptive analytics enabled by AI.
- Specialist teams will evolve to become lean, agile, and deep-seated in expertise.
- The large majority of processes will be automated leaving the rest to Global Business Solutions (GBS) in the most suitable locations.
- Hubs for innovation will be central in forging a transformative employee experience.
- People function will spearhead the integration of ESG, purpose and diversity, equity & inclusion (DE&I) advocacy with business strategies.
- The pursuit of operational excellence will lead to pioneering data-driven process optimisation and resource agility.
- The emphasis will shift towards a skill-centric ecosystem, enhancing competitiveness and scalability.
