As HR professionals, we are often too immersed in advising managers and organisational leaders about how they should deliver their services. How much time do we allow ourselves to stop, step back from the day job and consider what could be 'on the cards' for the next few years both for ourselves and how they relate to our profession?  In my opinion, there are probably some key challenges or areas, some strategic and some operational, which HR needs to recognize and address. Can we all suggest what are they?

Talent management

idea posted by Utpal Sinha HR Manager, Unisys
Supply and demand: it's a relatively simple process isn't it? But I don’t think it is.  Talent spotting and development and, most importantly, the ability to deploy talent effectively for the future means that HR needs to provide resourcing and development solutions that are faster, more flexible and technology enabled to reduce the bureaucracy and paper-based approaches that many still protect and love.

The biggest challenge of present time is to attract and retain the Talent with the help of pay package, reward, career growth etc. Without talent we can not survive in a cut throat competitive environment.

We also need to be thinking now about how to engage with the future public servants through new media. A strong web presence is something we should be grappling with now and becomes an increasing issue as we all try to attract Generation Y employees to our ageing workforce.

Equality and diversity

idea posted by Sudhir Kadam HR Manager, ITC Infotech
This issue is universal across all industries. Increasingly, the need to ensure organizational approaches to diversity has a true focus upon communities has meant that the role of HR in shaping, supporting and embedding good approaches to equality and diversity is under threat. We need to recognise that diversity in terms of service access, design and delivery, policy development and employment opportunities are all areas which HR can contribute towards and should have a strong voice in delivering.

I think this aspect is very much industry and company specified. Even it is affected by the locality in which it is situated. After all, the diversity agenda has grown up from anti-discrimination employment law and who better to take this forward than HR professionals who can see the bigger picture

Pay and reward

idea posted by Ramesh Rana HR Manager, Wipro technologies
This is something which HR professionals always deal in. Reclaiming previously held territory and putting employers back in control of the pay and reward agenda is essential for this sector in the future. Local government is beginning to find its way out of the equal pay mire, but at a significant cost, other parts of the public sector also need to ensure their approach to pay and reward is proof against equality claims and collectively we need to move onto delivering a new reward agenda for the future.

Pay and reward remains the immediate battleground for HR in the short term. National negotiating agencies are increasingly out of touch with the needs of local employers, politically directed by ministers and, as a consequence, is more focused on managing cost pressures and the broader economic position.

Corporate vision and culture

idea posted by Viktor Stephen COO, I Entrepreneur

We all have such full plates today that it is difficult to know what to do first.  However, when you have a vision of what you want to achieve, and you can "taste" what it would be like to achieve it, you gravitate to those activities and projects that will lead you closer to your vision. A worthy goal or vision is the "fire in the belly" that keeps people going. A successful vision entails having the ability to look into the future and see the possibilities, and at the same time, maintain a focus on what needs to be done in the present.

As the work place becomes more and more diversified, it is vital to instill a sense of values amongst the employees.This should be done at induction and followed up from time to time.

“No matter what your business, the only way to generate enduring profits is to begin by building the kind of workplace that attracts, focuses, and keeps talented employees.”

Leadership

idea posted by Harish Pathak HR Manager, Honeywell

It becomes important to place and shape community leadership and delivering services to empowered and engaged citizens requires a new order of leadership skill and capacity from IT leaders. Leading a place and the multimillion-pound organisations that provide services to areas requires business acumen, the ability to connect with communities and, ultimately, the willingness to listen and respond to the needs of people as individuals - not something you see in abundance within the upper echelons of public service.
