火热的全球经济下人力资源应该如何适应?The Red Hot Global Economy: How Should HR Adapt?
我们生活在有趣的时代。几十年来,全球经济第一次增长。失业率达到30年来的最低点,薪水开始上涨,雇主正在大力争夺一套新的技能。(根据LinkedIn的说法,“机器学习技能”现在是最热门的,在过去的五年中,这项工作的需求增加了近10倍。)
我们看到很多证据表明就业市场非常火爆。根据ADP最近的一项研究显示,美国近5%的员工每个月都会换工作,其中60%是自愿的。人们为什么换工作?对超过1400万名员工进行研究的ADP研究表示,头号问题是薪水。人们找到更高薪的职位,所以他们移动。
虽然这对经济有利,但对雇主而言将会越来越难。正如我记得2000年的“网络公关”时间(以及后来的崩溃),在这些高就业时期,就业市场变得竞争激烈,工资上涨,雇主必须更加努力地吸引技术熟练的人。如下图所示,这就是现在正在发生的事情。我们接近韩战以来没有看到的失业率。
首席执行官感到压力
这个问题现在已经到了董事会的空间。最新的会议董事会首席执行官研究表明,“寻找和留住人才”现在是首席执行官头脑中的首要问题。高管们担心组织能力,领导力,留存率和参与度以及他们的就业品牌。有需求技能的人(例如工程师,专家,销售人员等)开始表现得像电影明星一样:游说高薪,比较雇主彼此,并希望公司不断改善工作经验。
我刚刚参加了一家大型全球性公司的200强领导力活动,人们关心的第一个话题是如何吸引更多高潜力进入公司,发展领导力渠道,并计划随着自动化变革的发展而发生的技能和工作变化。首席执行官亲自要求每位经理“负责建立你的领导力管道”。
人力资源部门面临压力
我们人力资源部门正在处理这个问题。每个人力资源部门都在讨论就业品牌,员工敬业度和员工经验等主题。我们的全球客户之一已经开始为所有10万以上的人员开发“员工角色”,所有这些都旨在学习如何理解和改善公司各个层面的工作体验。
这些事情很重要。如果你的公司在社交媒体网站上没有得到很好的尊重或低评价,你现在发现招聘越来越困难。虽然业务可能很好,但在别的地方可能会更好。销售人员,工程师,科学家,产品专家甚至入门级员工倾向于转向发展速度更快的公司,往往让陷入困境的公司陷入波澜。
这种经济环境迫使我们改变人力资源的优先事项。在当今的经济环境中,我鼓励人力资源团队专注于生产力,参与度和留任率,现在是时候仔细审视您的奖励和附带福利。大多数公司正在制定福祉计划,他们正在实现工作环境的现代化,许多公司已实施免费午餐,免费晚餐,免费洗衣以及免费的健身和锻炼计划等项目。在硅谷,多年来对于员工福利的战争不断升级。如果你不提供美味的早餐,午餐(通常是晚餐),你根本无法吸引工程师。人们认为这些福利是他们报酬的一部分,他们比较他们工作中的食品成本。
在我的职业生涯中,我经历了几个这样的经济周期,而且我的经验表明,虽然许多员工留在原地,但是高潜力人员,创收人员以及经验丰富的领导者都有很多机会,所以我们必须仔细观察它们。
快速移动人员。扩大您对潜力的定义。
在这样的经济体中有很多事情需要考虑。一种是重新思考你的传统继任管理计划,并找到一种更持续提供增长和发展的方法。就像我们一直在实施持续绩效管理一样,组织现在需要提供更多的定期促销活动(我遇到的一家公司每年提供两次“半升级促销”),更多的发展任务以及比以往更多的学习机会。
过去我们每年坐下一次,试图弄清楚我们的几个“高潜力”(HIPO)是谁。今天我建议你重新设计整个过程,这样每个人都可以定期从增长中受益。
这是一个建议如何。在过去,我们一直将HIPO定义为“能够在公司内上升两级”的人。今天我建议至少有三种我们想要承认的领导类型:
商业领导力:可以“经营业务”或推动盈亏的人
技术领导:技术专家或可以领导技术团队的人员
团队或项目领导:可以领导项目,计划和计划的人员。
这极大地拓宽了您的领导力,几乎每个人都有机会发展壮大,并渴望获得更负责任,更有价值的职位。
图2:三种类型的领导者需要扩展的继任格子
我最近访问的一家客户是一家全球性医疗保健公司,他们的主要领导差距之一是发展“科学和临床领导者”。这些人不一定会成为首席执行官,但他们对业务至关重要 - 所以他们需要定期晋升,薪金审查和流动性。数字专家,分析专家,网络安全专家和其他需求技术人员属于同一类别。
在工作流程中提供学习
如果你不能经常宣传,请记住,保留的巨大动力是员工的“学习能力”。即使很难找到促销活动,当人们认为“这项工作真的把我带到某个地方”时,他们也会参与进来。这是创造学习环境,培养领导者成长思维的一个问题,并且给予人们不论其角色的学习文化。
虽然L&D在过去几年一直是一个麻烦的行业(我们在2017年发现了一个负面的网络推动者评级),但我很高兴地说,现在解决这个问题相对容易,今年是投资于微型网络的一年,学习,学习体验平台,自我创作内容,视频学习以及我们几十年来一直在讨论的所有文化方面的知识,而且您实际上可以“在工作流程中”提供学习,使其更具相关性和可使用性比以往任何时候都要多。
人力资源准备好了吗?我相信是这样。
在过去的一年中,我一直在与世界上一些最具代表性的公司会面,他们的人力资源团队正在适应。今天,他们专注于职业管理,员工体验,更多创新奖励计划以及各种有趣的学习,数字生产力和福利策略。
让我们都在这里享受美好时光。是的,这个就业市场造成了很大的压力,但如果你专注于赋权,发展和引人入胜的核心 - 你的组织就能蓬勃发展。现在云层已经在地平线上了,所以我们享受阳光。
针对热门经济的五项人力资源战略。
1.关注就业品牌。
了解并研究候选人如何看待你的公司,并将这些信息反馈给首席执行官和高级商业领袖,以便推动管理层改进文化,参与度和工作环境。今天,您可以使用Glassdoor,LinkedIn,您自己的参与调查,脉搏调查,停留访谈,匿名调查以及大量其他聆听设备来了解您在市场中的感受。您应该尽可能申请“最佳工作场所”奖项,这也会提升您的游戏体验,并促使您改善工作体验。
2.保持当前的工资和福利。
现在我认为公司必须每六个月刷新一次奖励计划。每年的速度不够快。我曾经和那些给员工半年一次审查和加薪的公司谈过,即使这在某些情况下可能还不够。我们刚刚完成的研究表明,每年不止一次重新访问薪水和奖金的公司表现优于仅每年审核报酬的公司。并确保您的透明度:现在公布大量薪酬信息 - 所以您应该公布您的薪金基准,让员工充分披露您是否支付高于或低于平均水平(当然有充分的理由)。
3.建立一支专注于了解员工旅程的团队,并专注于端到端的员工体验。
这意味着从候选人到新员工到第一天,第一个月,第一季度,第一年,第一次促销等等。设计思维的概念现在已经被很好地理解,因此您需要使用它们来构建一种数字化的体验,以帮助人们在职业生涯中茁壮成长。最好的起点是有一个高转换率的员工团队(即通常是第一年的零售员工),这样你就可以获得一个良好的设计思维项目。然后,一旦你熟练掌握了它,你就可以为各种工作转变创造员工旅程,并寻找使他们变得更好的方法。在德勤,我们称之为“重要时刻”。
4.重新设计您的L&D战略。
今年是2018年,采用微型学习策略的一年,更新您的LMS和工具,并深入了解“工作流程中的学习”的概念。我很快就会写更多内容 - 但让我提醒你,当人们觉得自己“没有学习”时,他们会离开公司。你可以解决这个问题。我们最近调查的公司中超过50%告诉我们,他们正在增加L&D平台的预算。是时候了。顺便说一下,开始制定一个更好的职业管理工具的战略 - 这是人力资源技术中最热门的新部分,它将成为您工作未来自动化,人工智能和工作变革的保险。
5.保持首席执行官和高级领导的知情权。
确定你的分析计划,确保你知道技能,领导力,参与度和保留差距在哪里。
让首席执行官知道人才稀少 - 他或她会真正关心。如果您需要聘用更多招聘人员,投资新的开发计划,或从根本上改变工作模式以适应,您需要他们的帮助才能迅速动员。在竞争激烈的时期,首席执行官希望尽其所能帮助,所以要抓住机遇。(2018年会议委员会首席执行官研究称“缺乏关键技能”成为今天的首要业务挑战。)
最后:现在是时候调整您的人力资源战略,以应对以竞争为中心,以技能为中心的市场。调整你的招聘,专注于推动包容性和多元化的多元文化,并确保你的职业生涯管理和学习在前台。没有人知道这种经济繁荣将持续多久,但现在有一场人才争夺战,我们必须武装自己来应付它。

以下为英文:
We are living in interesting times. For the first time in decades the entire global economy is growing. Unemployment rates are reaching a 30 year low, salaries are beginning to rise, and employers are competing heavily for a new set of skills. (“Machine learning skills” are now the hottest according to LinkedIn, a job that has increased in demand by almost 10 times in the last five years.)
We see lots of evidence that the job market is red hot. According to a recent study by ADP, almost 5% of the US workforce now changes jobs every month, and 60% of this is voluntary. Why are people changing jobs? The ADP research, which studied more than 14 million employees, says the #1 issue is salary. People are finding higher paid positions so they move.
While this is all good for the economy, it will be increasingly hard on employers. As I remember during the year 2000 "dot-com" time (and later crash), during these periods of high employment the job market becomes hyper-competitive, salaries go up, and employers have to work harder to attract skilled people. As the chart below shows, this is what is happening now. We are nearing an unemployment rate not seen since the Korean War.
Fig 1: Unemployment Rate Near Record Low
CEOs Feel the Pinch
This issue has now reached the board room. The latest Conference Board CEO research shows that “finding and retaining talent” is now the #1 issue on the mind of CEOs. Executives are worried about organizational skills, their leadership pipeline, retention and engagement, and their employment brand. And people with in-demand skills (e.g. engineers, specialists, sales people, etc.) are starting to behave like movie stars: lobbying for high salaries, comparing employers against each other, and expecting companies to continuously improve the work experience.
I just attended a top 200 leadership event for a large global company and the #1 topic on peoples minds were how to attract more high-potentials into the company, grow the leadership pipeline, and plan for skill and job changes as automation changes work. The CEO personally asked each and every manager to "take responsibility for building your leadership pipeline."
The Pressure Is On for HR
We in HR are on the hook to deal with this issue. The topics of employment brand, employee engagement, and the employee experience are being discussed in every HR department. One of our global clients has embarked on a project to develop "employee personas" for all their 100,000+ people, all with the intention to learn how to understand and improve their work experience at every level in the company.
And these things matter. If your company is not well respected or has low ratings on social media websites, you are now finding it harder and harder to recruit. And while business may be good, it may be better somewhere else. Sales people, engineers, scientists, products specialists, and even entry level employees tend to move to faster growing companies, often leaving troubled companies in waves.
This economic environment is forcing us to change the priorities in HR. In today's economy I encourage HR teams to focus on productivity, engagement, and retention and it's now time to look carefully at your rewards and fringe benefits. Most companies are now building programs for well-being, they are modernizing the work environment, and many have implemented programs like free lunch, free dinner, free laundry, and free gym and exercise programs. Here in Silicon Valley, there has been an escalating war for employee benefits for years. If you don’t offer people a gourmet breakfast, lunch, (and often dinner) you simply cannot attract engineers. People consider these benefits a part of their compensation, and they compare the cost of food in their job offers.
I’ve been through several of these economic cycles in my career, and my experience shows that while many employees stay where they are, high-potentials, people in revenue-generating roles, and experienced leaders have lots of opportunities, so we have to watch them closely.
Move People Faster. Broaden Your Definition of Potential.
There are many things to think about in an economy like this. One is to rethink your traditional succession management program and find a way to offer growth and progression on a more continuous basis. Just like we have been implementing continuous performance management, organizations now need to offer more regular promotions (one company I met with offers "half-level promotions" twice per year), more developmental assignments, and more opportunities to learn than ever before.
In the past we sat down once a year and tried to figure out who our few "high-potentials" (HIPO) were. Today I'd suggest you re-engineer that entire process, so everyone can benefit from growth on a regular basis.
Here is a suggestion how. In the past we always defined a HIPO as someone who could "move up two levels in the company." Today I'd suggest there are at least three types of leadership we want to recognize:
Business leadership: people who can "run a business" or drive a P&L
Technical leadership: people who are technical experts or can lead technical teams
Team or Project leadership: people who can lead projects, initiatives, and programs.
This greatly broadens your leadership pipeline, and gives nearly everyone an opportunity to grow and aspire to a more responsible, rewarding position.
Fig 2: Three Types of Leaders Demand Expanded Succession Grids
A client I recently visited is a global healthcare company, and one of their key leadership gaps is developing "scientific and clinical leaders." These are not necessarily people who would become the CEO, but they are critical to the business - so they warrant regular promotion, salary review, and mobility. Digital experts, analytics experts, cyber security experts, and other in-demand technical people are in the same category.
Deliver Learning In The Flow Of Work
If you can't promote people regularly, remember that an enormous driver of retention is an employee's "ability to learn." Even when promotions are hard to find, people are engaged when they feel that "this job is really taking me someplace." This is a problem of creating a learning environment, building a growth mindset in leaders, and giving people a culture of learning regardless of their role.
While L&D has been a troubled profession for the last few years (we found a negative net-promoter rating in 2017), I"m happy to say that now it is relatively easy to address this. This is the year to invest in micro-learning, learning experience platforms, self-authored content, video-learning, and all the cultural aspects of learning we have been talking about for decades. And you can actually deliver learning "in the flow of work," making it more relevant and consumable than ever. (You can view my presentation on this below.)
Is HR ready for this? I believe so.
Over the last year I have been meeting with some of the most iconic companies in the world, and their HR teams are adapting. Today they are focused on career management, the employee experience, more innovative rewards programs, and all sorts of interesting learning, digital productivity and well-being strategies.
Let’s all enjoy the good times while they’re here. Yes this job market creates a lot of stress, but if you focus on the core of empowering, developing, and engaging people – your organization can thrive. The clouds are out on the horizon for now, so let’s enjoy the sun.
Five HR strategies for a hot economy.
1. Focus on employment brand.
Understand and study how candidates view your company ,and bring this information back to your CEO and top business leaders so you can push your management to improve culture, engagement, and the work environment. Today you can use Glassdoor, LinkedIn, your own engagement surveys, pulse surveys, stay interviews, anonymous surveys, and lots of other listening devices to know how you are perceived in the market. You should apply for "best places to work" awards wherever possible, which will also up your game and push you to make the work experience better.
2. Keep salaries and benefits current.
Right now I believe companies have to refresh their rewards programs every six months. Annually is just not fast enough. I’ve talked with companies that give employees reviews and raises semi-annually and even this may not be enough in some cases. We just completed research that shows that companies that revisit salaries and bonus more than once per year outperform those that only review compensation annually. And make sure you are transparent: a tremendous amount of compensation information is now public – so you should publish your salary benchmarks against peers, giving employees full disclosure about whether you are paying above or below average (with good justification of course).
3. Get a team focused on understanding the employee journey, and focus on the end to end employee experience.
This means everything from candidate to new hire to first day, first month, first quarter, first year, first promotion, and on. The concepts of design thinking are well understood now, so you need to use them to build a digital-enabled experience that helps people thrive throughout their career. The best place to start is with a high turnover employee group (ie. often first year retail employees) so you can get a good design thinking project under your belt. Then once you get good at it you can create employee journeys for various job transitions and look at ways to make them better. At Deloitte we call this "moments that matter."
4. Re-engineer your L&D strategy.
This year, 2018, is the year to adopt a micro-learning strategy, refresh your LMS and tools, and get behind the concepts of “learning in the flow of work.” I’ll be writing a lot more on this soon – but let me remind you, people leave companies when they feel they are “not learning.” You can fix this. More than 50% of the companies we recently surveyed told us they are increasing budget for L&D platforms. It's time. And by the way, start building a strategy for better career management tools too - this is the hottest new segment in HR technology and it will become your insurance for automation, AI, and job changes from the future of work.
5. Keep the CEO and senior leadership informed.
Get your analytics program in shape and make sure you know where skills, leadership, engagement, and retention gaps are high. Let the CEO know where talent is thin - he or she will really care. You will need their help to mobilize quickly if you need to hire more recruiters, invest in a new development program, or radically change job models to adapt. In times of competitive growth CEOs want to do everything they can to help, so take advantage of the opportunity. (Conference Board 2018 CEO study cited "lack of critical skills" as the #1 business challenge today.)
Bottom Line: It's time to adjust your HR strategies to deal with the competitive, skills-centric market ahead. Tune up your recruitment, focus on driving an inclusive and generationally diverse culture, and make sure you have your career management and learning on the front burner. Nobody knows how long this economic boom will last, but for now there's a war for talent, and we have to arm ourselves to deal with it.

SHRM观点:2018年HR必须关注的6个HRTech的发展趋势AI, bots and digital twins will shape the year.
Aliah D. Wright
2018年,随着人工智能(AI),机器人,预测软件和增强现实技术的重塑,物理和数字世界将继续融合。
首先接受人工智能将塑造组织环境,特别是智能系统学会适应用户的需求。“我们不再需要学习这些软件,”位于北卡罗来纳州Raleigh的技术公司WalkMe的总裁兼联合创始人Rephael Sweary说道,“AI已经在更多地了解我们的个人角色,行为和行动,以个性化我们使用人力资源和其他商业软件。“
根据研究公司Gartner发布的2018年度十大战略技术趋势, 企业平台也将发展为提供更自然和沉浸式的互动。
Sweary说,这样的进步将使人力资源专业人员能够显着减少学习和开发预算和资源,因为采用了可以根据情况指导人们如何使用任何系统的技术。
据Gartner称,2018年影响人力资源最多的六大趋势将是:
1.区块链。这项技术对于希望更有效地验证候选人的招聘人员具有希望,并且对于想要使其组织的全球薪酬流程成本更低且更及时的薪资管理者而言。区块链使用加密的公共记录的数字分类账,将公共记录结构化为称为区块的数据集群,并分散在网络中。这是一个功能强大的工具,用户可以找到可靠且易于浏览的工具 专家预测,HR将在未来18-24个月内开始使用区块链。
2. AI基础。据Gartner报道,制造自主学习,适应和行动的系统至少将成为技术供应商的重点。人工智能将用于改善决策制定,重塑工作流程并改善客户体验。它将推动到2025年数字商业计划的投资回报。
3.智能应用和分析。公司正在使用AI实践来制作新的应用类别,例如虚拟客户助理和机器人,以提高员工绩效,销售和营销分析以及安全性。智能应用有可能改变工作的性质和工作场所的结构。Gartner表示:“在构建或购买人工智能应用程序时,请考虑其影响将在如何完成,分析或改善用户体验的过程中发挥作用。”
4.物联网(IoT)。人工智能正在推动“智能”物品的进步,例如自动驾驶汽车,机器人和无人机。它还增强了许多现有产品,包括物联网(IoT)连接的消费和工业系统。例如,在某些时候,人力资源专业人员需要雇用可以操作无人机,监视无人机安全并遵守FAA规定的人员。
5.数字双胞胎。此工具是真实世界实体或系统的数字表示。来自多个数字双胞胎的数据可以汇总为真实世界实体的综合视图。例如,未来的人类模型可以提供生物识别和医疗数据,而数字双胞胎将允许进行高级模拟,报告解释道。数字双胞胎在物联网项目的背景下可以通过帮助用户响应变化,改进运营和提高性能,显着改善企业决策。
6.会话平台。想想Alexa或Siri。在人力资源部门内部,这些计划可以通过让员工与团队成员“交谈”来改善员工的自助服务。这些工具将推动人类与数字世界交互方式的下一个大范式转变。随着技术的成熟,“极其复杂的要求将成为可能,结果会非常复杂,”该报告指出。
准备就绪,设置,实施
人力资源领导者如何应对这些技术进步?Gartner分析师建议他们:
使用AI设计业务场景以通知新业务设计。
通过会话平台和增强现实创造更自然和身临其境的用户体验。
通过开发有针对性的高价值业务案例并确定优先次序来支持物联网举措,以构建数字双胞胎并协同开发云计算和边缘计算。
采用基于风险和信任的不断调整的安全和风险战略方法。
如果你不把这些技术趋势归因于你的创新战略,你就有可能失败。“包括数据科学家,开发人员和业务流程负责人在内的多个选区需要协同工作,”副总裁兼Gartner研究员David Cearley说。
Sweary预测,2018年将是人力资源的一个分水岭年,因为节省时间的技术将释放人力资源团队作为其组织内的战略顾问。
“数字化转型始于对员工的理解,HR将在调整公司文化,人才,结构和流程方面发挥关键作用,确保企业选择合适的工具来提供最佳员工数字体验。”
一个美丽的新世界
当Gartner公司的分析师凝视他们的水晶球时,他们看到了未来的情况:
到2019年
大多数领先的数字资产和产品信息管理系统将实施功能,允许品牌自动公开标签和元数据以改善语音和视觉搜索结果。
所有主要公司和零售商中有一半将重新设计其在线网站以适应语音搜索和语音导航。招聘委员会和招聘人员可以效仿。人才搜索引擎已经开始使用工具来帮助招聘人员找到并联系候选人或特定角色,方法是允许他们提出基于语音的搜索查询。
到2020年
人工智能创造的假冒内容将超过AI检测它的能力,这可能加剧不信任和错误信息的扩散。
到2021年
铁道部企业电子超过50%会花更多的每年创造的机器人和聊天机器人比传统的移动应用程序开发。
大多数 稳定经济体的人们会消费比真实内容更多的虚假信息。
到2022年
物联网(IoT)的所有安全预算中有一半将针对“故障修复,召回和安全故障”,而不是保护。

n 2018, the physical and digital worlds will continue to merge, as the workplace is reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI), bots, predictive software and augmented reality.
Start by accepting that AI will mold the organizational landscape, especially as intelligent systems learn to adapt to users' needs. "We'll no longer need to learn the software," says Rephael Sweary, president and co-founder of WalkMe, a technology company based in Raleigh, N.C. "AI is already learning more about our individual roles, behaviors and actions to personalize how we use HR and other business software."
Enterprise platforms will also evolve to provide more natural and immersive interactions, according to the Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2018 report from the research firm Gartner.
Such advancements will allow HR professionals to significantly reduce learning and development budgets and resources, as technologies are adopted that can contextually guide people on how to use any system, Sweary says.
The six trends that will affect HR the most in 2018, according to Gartner, will be:
1. Blockchain. This technology holds promise for recruiters hoping to verify candidates more efficiently, and for payroll managers who want to make their organization's global compensation process less costly and more timely. Blockchain uses an encrypted, digital ledger of public records structured into clusters of data called blocks and dispersed over networks. It is a powerful tool that users find reliable and easy to navigate. Experts predict HR will begin using blockchain within the next 18-24 months.
2. AI foundation. Making systems that learn, adapt and act autonomously will be a major focus for technology vendors through at least 2020, Gartner reports. AI will be used to improve decision-making, reinvent work processes and revamp the customer experience. It will drive the return on investment for digital business plans through 2025.
3. Intelligent apps and analytics. Companies are using AI practices to make new app categories, such as virtual customer assistants and bots to improve employee performance, sales and marketing analysis and security. Intelligent apps have the potential to change the nature of work and the structure of the workplace. "When building or buying an AI-powered app, consider where its impact will be in the process of how things get done, analysis, or to improve a users' experience," according to Gartner.
4. Internet of Things (IoT). AI is driving advances for "smart" items such as autonomous vehicles, robots and drones. It is also enhancing many existing products, including Internet-of-things (IoT)-connected consumer and industrial systems. At some point, for instance, HR professionals will need to hire individuals who can operate drones, monitor drone safety and comply with FAA regulations.
5. Digital twins. This tool is a digital representation of a real-world entity or system. Data from multiple digital twins can be aggregated for a composite view across real-world entities. For example, future models of humans could offer biometric and medical data, and digital twins will allow for advanced simulations, the report explains. Digital twins in the context of IoT projects could significantly improve enterprise decision-making by helping users respond to changes, improving operations and enhancing performance.
6. Conversational platforms. Think Alexa or Siri. Within HR, such programs could be applied to improve employee self-service by enabling employees to "talk" to members of your team. These tools will drive the next big paradigm shift in how humans interact with the digital world. As the technology matures, "extremely complex requests will be possible, resulting in highly complex results," the report states.
Ready, Set, Implement
How can HR leaders respond to these technological advancements? Gartner analysts recommend they:
Devise business scenarios using AI to inform new business designs.
Create a more natural and immersive user experience with conversational platforms and augmented reality.
Support IoT initiatives by developing and prioritizing targeted, high-value business cases to build digital twins and exploit cloud and edge computing synergistically.
Adopt a strategic approach to security and risk that continuously adapts based on risk and trust.
If you don't factor these technology trends into your innovation strategies, you risk losing ground. "Multiple constituencies, including data scientists, developers and business process owners, will need to work together," says David Cearley, vice president and Gartner Fellow.
2018 will be a watershed year for HR, Sweary predicts, because time-saving technology will free up HR teams to serve as strategic advisors within their organizations.
"Digital transformation starts with understanding your employees. HR will play a pivotal role in aligning company culture, talent, structure and processes to make sure that businesses select the right tools for delivering the best employee digital experience."
A Brave New World
When analysts at Gartner Inc. gaze into their crystal ball, here's what they see ahead:
By 2019
Most leading digital asset and product information management systems will implement features that allow brands to automatically expose tags and metadata to improve voice and visual search results.
Half of all major companies and retailers will redesign their online sites to accommodate voice searches and voice navigation. Job boards and recruiters may follow suit. Talent search engines are already working on tools to help recruiters find and contact candidates or specific roles by allowing them to pose voice-based search queries.
By 2020
AI-driven creation of fake content will outpace AI's ability to detect it, which could fuel distrust and the proliferation of misinformation.
By 2021
More than 50 percent of companies will spend more per year creating bots and chatbots than on traditional mobile app development.
Most people in stable economies will consume more false information than true content.
By 2022
Half of all security budgets for the Internet of Things (IoT) will be directed toward "fault remediation, recalls and safety failures," rather than protection.

人工智能正在改变人力资源工作方式
新技术和人工智能可用于提高绩效评估,开放招生和员工发展。
New technologies and artificial intelligence can be used to improve performance appraisals, open enrollment and employee development.
作者:Alexander Alonso,SHRM-SCP
像“终结者”电影中看到的那些机器的兴起可能会给我们灌输对人工智能(AI)和自动化的健康恐惧,但明智的人力资源专业人员会关注当今的发展如何能够产生积极的变化 - 即更高的效率在日常运营中和更好的员工体验。
现代技术(从简化流程的应用程序到改善通讯的机器人)正在改变我们的工作方式,这并不奇怪。然而,令人震惊的是,他们扩散到工作场所的速度很快。
以下是三个已被企业完全接受的AI示例,它们正在改变我们实践HR的方式:
众包和性能数据。为了更好地评估,商业思想领导者鼓励使用来自各种来源的及时数据。例如GloboForce这样一家员工识别软件供应商,声称众包信息比传统的评估方法能够以更定期的间隔提供更全面的性能图片。
乍一看,这可能看起来很直观。但是许多人力资源专业人士对这种软件在考虑到大量信息的性能数据流方面的准确性持怀疑态度。例如,会议结束后,Karma Notes向与会者询问个人作为团队成员的有效性。令人生畏的是,应用程序在每次会议后提出了这个问题。更重要的是,这个过程引发了人们提供反馈动机的问题。有些可能是由隐藏的议程驱动的。这项技术正在得到进一步完善,以收集与截止日期和预算有关的信息。近100家财富1000强公司正在试用这种众包的表演系统。这比以往任何时候都更加重视人力资源专业人员,以更好地理解数据管理和分析,
机器人和福利问题。如果你像大多数人力资源从业人员一样,只需要在开放的招生季节中生存下去,你很高兴。但那些幸运地通过人力资源信息系统(HRIS)来利用人工智能的人通常并没有那么糟糕。例如,今天的一些基于HRIS的聊天机器人可以自动回复员工的福利问题,并为您的员工量身定制解决方案。这意味着您花费更少的时间进行查询。虽然这些工具从来都不是完美的,但大多数使用的是一种AI,它使得信息交付非常可定制。要充分利用这一点,您必须建立真正动态的面向消费者的问答数据库,以反映您的员工和他们的偏好。
算法和学习偏好。近年来,我们看到了无数支持学习和发展活动的技术的兴起。其中最有趣的是使用AI来创建交互式测试和评估以匹配考生的个人学习风格和参与度的应用程序。与Lumosity的互动式大脑游戏类似,这些工具可在用户学习时产生无数的数据点,包括他们的步伐和学习风格。对于人力资源部门来说,这些创新突出了对员工发展的定制学习路径和数据驱动方法的需求。
很明显,人工智能在人力资源中的作用越来越大,这代表了您通过数据实现价值的机会。有些人会哭,“机器正在接管!”事实是,机器已经在这里。我们需要确定如何最好地使用它们。

The rise of machines like those seen in the “Terminator” movies may instill in us a healthy fear of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, but wise HR professionals will focus on how today’s developments can give rise to positive changes—namely, greater efficiency in day-to-day operations and a better employee experience.
It’s no surprise that modern technologies—from process-streamlining apps to communication-improving bots—are altering the way we work. What is shocking, however, is the fast pace of their diffusion into the workplace.
Here are three examples of AI that have been fully accepted in businesses today and are changing the way we practice HR:
Crowdsourcing and performance data. For better appraisals, business thought leaders encourage the use of timely data from a wide array of sources. Companies such as GloboForce, an employee recognition software provider, claim that crowdsourced information provides more-holistic pictures of performance at more-regular intervals than traditional appraisal methods.
At first glance, that may seem intuitive. But many HR professionals are skeptical about the accuracy of such software with regard to performance data flow, which takes into account large volumes of information. For instance, after a meeting, Karma Notes asks fellow attendees about an individual’s effectiveness as a team player. What’s daunting is that the app poses this question after every meeting. What’s more, the process raises questions about people’s motivations for providing feedback. Some may be driven by a hidden agenda. The technology is being further refined to gather information related to deadlines and budgets, too. Almost 100 Fortune 1000 companies are piloting this type of crowdsourced performance system. More than ever, that puts the onus on HR professionals to better understand data management and analytics, and to account for relationship dynamics when interpreting such records.
Bots and benefits questions. If you’re like most HR practitioners, you’re happy just to survive open enrollment season. But those fortunate enough to leverage AI via their HR information systems (HRIS) usually don’t have it so bad. Some of today’s HRIS-based chatbots, for example, can automatically reply to employees’ benefits questions with answers tailored to your workforce. That means you spend less time fielding inquiries. While these tools are never perfect, most use a form of AI that makes information delivery extremely customizable. To take full advantage of that, you must build truly dynamic, consumer-oriented Q&A databases that reflect your workers and their preferences.
Algorithms and learning preferences. In recent years, we’ve seen the rise of countless technologies that support learning and development activities. Among the most interesting are apps that use AI to create interactive tests and assessments to match test takers’ personal learning styles and engagement levels. Similar to Lumosity’s interactive brain games, these tools generate countless data points about users as they learn, including their pace and learning style. For HR, such innovations highlight the need for customized learning paths and data-driven approaches to employee development.
It’s clear that AI’s increasing role in HR represents an opportunity for you to drive value through data. Some would cry, “The machines are taking over!” The truth is that the machines are already here. It’s up to us to define how best to use them.
