HR has the opportunity to design a total rewards strategy that drives retention. Examples include internal mobility, a more robust benefits package and providing enriching employee experiences. Organizations will have to redefine leadership. Organizations continue to develop their hybrid work model and policies. HR plays a key role in defining the qualities of leadership in the new structure. In digital environments, managers will need to facilitate work without micromanaging employees.

Tomorrow’s leaders will have to learn to navigate challenges to keep moving forward. Here is how HR can give their organizations a competitive advantage by developing the next generation of leaders.

Being a transformational leader requires a certain mindset, as well as exercising cultural intelligence, ethical decision-making and resiliency. Create active learning experiences. HR needs to foster active learning, or ways that learners can engage in the learning process that does not rely on passive listening. Training methods include in-depth readings and discussions, critical written reflections and transformational leadership development coaching. Expand your learning resources. Learning tools can include LMS courses as well as appropriate learning tools that include intercultural awareness and methodology.

Developing the Next Generation of Leaders

This is your HR News Flash, your briefing on talent management and the world of work from HRCI. Given the generational composition of today’s workforce, priorities and expectations are changing drastically. HR must play a pivotal role in meeting the challenges and opportunities of leading a multigenerational workforce. Here are some ideas of how to address multigenerational topics in the workplaces: Create flexible work options. As organizations determine hybrid work options and flexible work hours, job descriptions must evolve to reflect key skills and competencies rather than focusing on experience and education. This will help determine the suitable composition to fit the organization’s work culture, vision and mission.   Increase Communication. Communication is key in any multigenerational interactions. Rather than making assumptions about where employees are in their points of references and experiences, directly assess their preferences for interactions, communications and working styles. Emphasize continuous learning. Legacy learning and development programs often make assumptions about where expertise is concentrated in a multigenerational workforce. Competencies are not necessarily linked to seniority, and education can be shared across generations. Take inventory of the skills, competencies and knowledge available within your multigenerational talent, identify cross-training needs and implement inclusive and culturally sensitive continuous learning programs.

Addressing the Challenges of a Multigenerational Workforce

This is your HR News Flash, your briefing on talent management and the world of work from HRCI. HR must ensure that corporate social responsibility is part of the organization’s mission, vision and value. Here is how HR can play a significant and strategic role: Refine the corporate value proposition. An organization’s mission, vision and values are defined at the C-suite level. This helps HR redefine and implement the value proposition to enhance the organizational culture and employee morale. Foster an inclusive mindset. HR should lead and facilitate a more inclusive mindset throughout the workplace. Utilizing practical processes with a great sense of purpose reflecting input from each contributor will foster inclusivity. Encourage Engagement. With a clear value proposition, recruit employees that are likely to be passionate about your organization’s mission. This can be strengthened through employee engagement and training, while harnessing the diverse passion and creativity within your workforce.   This concludes your HR News Flash.

Here are some ideas: Facilitate the process HR should guide and facilitate conversations that support the implementation of an integrated performance management process. In doing so, all leaders can be aligned on the strategies that drive value creation across the organization. Operational efficiencies.

Working across functional areas to proactively identify talent gaps and creating recruitment plans will strengthen operational efficiencies. Monitor and evaluate.
