Future Leadership and Building a Future Workforce
HR leaders, taking lessons from the unprecedented global developments of 2020 shall seek to build critical skills, bolster their organizational management teams and implement strategic and change management to prepare themselves for future.
According to Gartner 2020 Future of HR Survey, growth and expansion of business remains the top business objective of organizations, closely followed by improving operational excellence. To ensure that these goals are met, the HR leader shall have to:
- Build critical skills for the organization.
- Strengthen the overall leadership for current and future needs
- Implement change management
These priorities have come up amidst widespread uncertainties on the lines of economic, workforce and environmental factors.
Top-down change management must be withdrawn in place of a more agile leadership during uncertain times.
Leah Johnson, Vice President, Advisory, Gartner, says, HR’s priorities in 2020 reflect the urgent need to move ahead of today’s uncertain operating conditions. Rapid and rampant digitalization has created gaps in skills and has been challenging effective leadership on various business fronts. Considerable lack of expertise, made apparent by the Covid-19 pandemic, needed to restructure organizations and manage the subsequent changes had also been there.
