Some trends turn out to be more than just a hype, and don’t evaporate like snow in summer. At present, a number of trends seem to be setting the tone for a fresh, new approach to HR. What do these trends entail, and how do you handle them as HR manager?
1. More customization, more personal contact
‘Personalized’ is the keyword in the year 2017. Those who wish to win over the average consumer will have to offer customized products and services, adjusted according to a profile based on specified preferences or previous purchases. Netflix, apps and online clothing stores revolve around this personalized method. And it works, too. People prefer being approached like an individual, and expect this attitude to be extended to their working environment.
What does that have to do with HR? ‘Instant’ generic solutions are things of the past. Approach your employees personally, and contact them specifically. Personalization: that is what they’re after.
2. Positivity one-on-one
Forget those ‘old-fashioned’ hierarchical standard assessments, with no room for personalization or conversation. In this day and age, the focus should be on positive management. Employees who are coached to reach their full potential will improve when it comes to motivation and performance. Consider suitable training for your employees, and offer clarity and involvement when it comes to their leave days and – if the nature of their work allows it – working hours.
3. Embrace digitization
Artificial Intelligence is becoming firmly rooted in modern society, and the world of HR is no exception – not in the least because HR, more than anything else, deals with data. The implementation of smart technologies can be a big time- and money-saver. When it comes to CV analysis and leave registration, for instance, intelligent systems can help you on your way!
Time registration with a flying start
Customization, personalization, positivity and digitization: how to combine all these popular concepts into one solution? Start with a good registration system for working hours and leave. Such a system allows for flexibility, while still working the same number of hours, and assures clarity for all!
