?After traversing the realms of business, consulting and human resources over so many years, I have realized that organizations don’t succeed overnight. It requires time, dedication, and most importantly, a definite purpose, which determines the activities, resources, and functions that organizational members have to maintain for achieving it.
Achieving business goals has become all the more challenging due to the globalization of businesses, rising millennial population in workplaces, and increasing digitization are changing the way companies operate, and are pressing organizational teams to become more strategic in their approach.
HR teams are facing the heat of this transformation too, and they are required to go beyond the traditional recruitment and payroll management role to become strategic partners in organizations. People make organizations, and organizations won’t change if people don’t change. It is the HR team that can open people’s mind to accept change and empowers the organization to compete at a global level.
We are more than halfway through 2018, and a lot has changed since last year. Many more changes as expected in 2019, for which HR teams across organizations have to brace up. My primary objective behind writing this article is to throw light on specific paradigms that HR teams have to develop for overcoming human capital challenges.
Here’s a quick rundown of the 7 ways HR can keep pace with a dynamic business scenario:
- Knowing the business and its margins
- Knowing the top 2%
- Inviting cultural contribution from people
- Learning for the future
- Creating a great place to work
- Being on the lookout for new talent
- Automating the mundane
HR leaders have to know the nitty-gritty of the organization’s functioning and empower employee communities to make 2019 a successful year for the entire organization. Here’s the detailed article on the subject.

6 年Very interesting, Kevin. Well-penned. In addition, I've seen HR playing extensive inside-out views in identifying markets, & devising bespoke orgnizational & business models, esp when ignorance of past histories are not big encumbrances themselves.( Pt 1 ) The Top 2% is a great lever if the organizations has one over-arching objective & alignment is a resultant alreayd. If the org is set up differently, one may need to expand towards a fuller Talent Intimacy (Pt 2) Thanks :)
