We live in an increasingly dynamic and fluid world. As workplaces transform, employees are demanding more flexibility and technology is promising to liberate HR departments from transactional tasks. What will HR roles look like in the future?

• Preparing your workforce for future challenges and opportunities
• What does the future hold for progressive and flexible work options and benefits?
• How can we guide and support teams for a future that is uncertain?

HR leaders increasingly need to think ‘big picture’ and analyse HR data to drive decision making. In the future, how will HR teams use data to tell stories?

• Making connections across data and information to inform successful decision making
• Using data and analytics to influence stakeholders at all levels
• How to shape data into a narrative to help reveal findings, trends or underlying patterns
• Using linked visualisations to explain how and why HR data changes over time
• How can we use data to think differently about the employee experience?

We are shifting from viewing our workforce as a collective to appreciating and embracing the uniqueness of individuals. Accordingly, HR will be shifting focus from an employee experience to individual experience.

• Educating employees to discover their personal strengths, passions and purpose
• Facilitating high communication between departments, greater involvement with staff family and passions, and a focus on career development for staff
• Solutions that apply personalisation wisely in a scalable way
• Taking a holistic approach that sees employees as whole people and aims to ensure the best for each
• Examples of highly connected and very personalised people management strategies

As businesses change, cultural change becomes essential for survival. And now more than ever, HR is steering the ship of change.

• Encouraging people to be open to ideas and feel ownership of cultural change
• Building leadership capability to drive cultural change
