HR Trends in 2019: The Future of Human Resource Management

In 2019 and the near future, HR soware is moving beyond its base functionality of benefits management, recruitment, time and attendance, professional development, and other standard features. These features are still integral to the technology, but more advanced tools are emerging. Automation is an overarching theme for HR innovation, with many functions becoming completely digitized, eliminating the need for human involvement.

Headhunting of passive candidates has always been part of the recruitment process. But these days, its much different from simply siing through resumes on a career website. The advent of social media has made getting in touch with candidates easier than ever before.

Working virtually — at home, at a coffee shop or anywhere else theres Wi-Fi — is a growing trend in the United States. In the past two decades, the volume of employees who have worked at least partially by telecommuting has quadrupled and now stands at 37%.

A significant driver of this stems from VPN technology making it easy to access work systems from nearly any computer. This makes it possible to recruit from almost anywhere in the world, and its no surprise that many startups are built with remote teams. From a corporate perspective, it opens up the pool of candidates, and by offering remote work capabilities, its a way to retain current employees and boost job satisfaction through a better work-life balance. With video conferencing and collaboration tools evolving every year, this trend will only continue on the upswing.

The tech industry and Silicon Valley in particular, was rocked in 2017 by accusations and counter-claims of bias in the workforce. The easiest way to minimize any controversy? Make hiring a blind process. In standard screening and interviewing, unconscious bias easily becomes part of the equation by including any data that may give away key parts of a candidates background: gender, age, race, even alma mater. By making hiring a blind process — that is, stripping away any info on a resume that may reveal demographic data — the first wave of screening can be done based purely on abilities and achievements. Theres even recruiting soware built to automate screening and anonymize candidates. This allows for a more diverse workforce built on merit, not any buddy-buddy vibes picked up during the early interview process.

Gasification is a technique that has been working its way into all different types of industries. The idea of turning engagement into a competitive game format works for a range of purposes, whether its marketing or teaching or hiring. In business, gasification can be used as a candidate screener, turning tests of critical skill sets and cognitive abilities into fun engagement. With the advent of Smart phone apps, its possible to have a user base play recruitment games while under-the-hood algorithms track critical analytics. The result benefits both candidates and employers: Candidates have a fun reason to try to increase their scores while showing off to potential employers; Hiring managers have an ocean of data that can help predict the strengths and weaknesses of candidates — and even find diamonds in the rough.

While political talking points oen emphasize the return of jobs in manufacturing and manual labor, the cold hard truth is that those positions are going away because of evolving technology. In many cases, artificial intelligence is replacing repeatable tasks while predictive analytics is replacing certain levels of management and decision making. It goes beyond manufacturing — travel agents, flight attendants and more are all vulnerable. Where does this leave the human work force? In 2018, its up to companies to look at their human resources and determine the best way to pivot them into future positions. This means identifying the staff who are willing to embrace different aspects of jobs: management, problem solving, troubleshooting and other areas that require a human element. By planning ahead, this will save the company money as it transitions to cheaper computer-driven labor while maximizing the human potential already on the payroll.

What have been the changes in HR in the recent years?

In 2019, it boiled down to how HR can support the growth of the organization through people and scaling through sustainable HR practices. This theme then manifests itself to the next adjacent area and that is about how we can help employees do meaningful work. This can be done by removing barriers, fixing defects, and enabling self-service.

No process or policy can be so well designed as to properly cover every situation. When common sense is at odds with policies or practices, we should be able to make high-judgment exceptions. How can we as HR leaders ensure that "the process does not become the thing"? We have to teach people how to make high judgment exceptions.

Organizations need to realize that they will never be good at building and solving for everything in HR systems and technology, so they need to leverage the external HR tech, digital and start-ups networks to build a 3rd party partnership-based ecosystem that works on solving the key organizational priorities and challenges. As we come to the end of 2018, a year that was eventful both geopolitically and economically, it would not be wrong to state that it has le us with a world that is grappling with some great opportunities, threats such as protectionism, and some harsh economic realities. Thus, the right "bifocal strategy" i.e. a balance of looking into the future and executing in the here and now, is key.

HR has been evolving a lot as a function in the last couple of years. The war for talent has been increasing, and as a consequence organizations are looking at HR more prominently than before. A lot of the future of HR will be decided by the investment of top leaders in some of the most serious challenges HR is facing today. The changes happen slowly so most challenges wont be addressed and solved in the short run.

In a recent survey done by the Society for Human Resource Management, HR professionals say that the three biggest challenges facing HR executives over the next 10 years are: 1. Retaining and rewarding the best employees (59%) 2. Developing the next generation of corporate leaders (52%) 3. Creating a corporate culture that attracts the best employees (36%)

This research also explores investment challenges, talent management tactics, evolvement of the workforce, and critical HR competencies and knowledge.

Well, a lot of the challenges mentioned start with hiring. And nowadays hiring is connected to having a strong employer brand. However, in most organizations HR and Marketing dont communicate with each other as much as they should. They dont interact enough to understand the value proposition they offer to candidates or the path that one must take to become a leader in the company, and most C-level executives do not recognize HR enough to let them co-lead, along with the CEO, the implementation of a certain company culture.

So if we look at the upcoming 10 years of HR, here is what will be different:

1. HR WILL BE FLEXIBLE

As shown in the survey by SHRM, providing flexible work arrangements will be a top priority for organizations. 9 to 5 work is over, young professionals are looking for places where they can have the chance to take time off to be creative, be able to take a break without being judged, go solve administrative issues without having to take a day off, or even work from home with pre-agreed objectives.

Employees want flexibility and will excel in their performance if they are allowed to adjust both their work and personal lifestyle. HR is starting to understand that, we see many hot startups implementing such methods and the next 10 years will only bring more of this.

2. HR WILL BE SOCIAL

Intranet, internal social platforms, internal "Face books", and many other ways of promoting Online collaboration and communication across the company will be part of HR responsibilities in the future. HR can use social tools to drive behaviors in office performance by giving extra benefits to high performers of the month or give incentives to employees who are great brand ambassadors. The work experience will be taken live and will bring a stronger social component to organizations.

3. HR WILL BE MOBILE

We all know that mobile is the new hot trend in almost every industry; HR is no exception. If you are a recruiter, you want to wake up, have a nice breakfast, and check your mobile recruiting app while commuting to your office to see the new applicants you have in the system. You will want to leave comments, assign tasks, and when arriving to the office have your team already working on such tasks. You will want to able to check, while having a coffee before entering an individual performance meeting, what comments were given during the last meeting. You will want to be able to check how youre performing in terms of workforce happiness, to check the latest stats on your mobile and give a report to your CEO.

All in all, the lifestyle of an HR person will not be desktop-based. It will be wherever they are, whenever they wants.

4. HR WILL BE ABOUT DATA

How many days does it take to hire a new person? What is the best quarter to hire specific profiles? When are people the happiest throughout the year? Who are the most performing people and why? What are the trending skills we need to acquire in the next hire? These and many more questions are all connected to the hot topic of Big Data. But data is meaningless without interpretation and context. HR will have a great deal of responsibility in analyzing the data, interpreting it and making the right decisions in order to ensure the right acquisition, training, development and retention of talent.

5. HR WILL BE INTEGRATED

This might sound strange, but yes, HR will become set very diverse skills. HR will be composed by tech savvy people, data scientists, recruiter experts, connectors and brand editors. People that are able to do copy-writing, for job descriptions that correspond to the company culture. People that are able to read data and forecast trends. People that are on top of the latest technology and can solve problems or bring additional benefits to the company. People that are connectors, socially active. The next decade is crucial for HR to evolve and become a key role in any organization. HR might no longer be a single department in the future. HR might be part of something greater. Exciting times are ahead of HR.
