What answers does HR have for organisation-critical issues?
‘People’ are central to strategic and operational challenges

18. Critical uncertainties
We identified key drivers that will shape Human Resources
• The quality of employee-employer relationships: Better or Worst
• The nature and balance between supply and demand for work, the degree
of employee loyalty, and the importance of a healthy work-life balance.
• the HR department, and the role of unions in processes related to topics
such as compensation, benefits, or time and attendance of employees,
alter the environment in which relationships between employees and
employers evolve.
• On the other hand, the nature of Human Resources in the future will be
highly dependent on the impact of technological progress. Advances in
technology and digitalization have led to the rise of automated and
machine-controlled workflows that have the potential to disrupt HR
departments.
18

19. VUCA world for leaders (& HR)
• Globalisation – economic and labour markets, 24 hour pressures
• Geo-political instabilities and conflicts; ‘world order’ challenged
• Societal change – decline in deference, demand for transparency
• Technology acceleration – leaders, strategies, regulators etc struggle
• Poor leadership and governance exposed easier and quicker
Operating in the digital world demands new skills, strategic focus,
organisation models and leadership philosophies

20. Leaders need help
• Re-shape their organisations
• Manage their key people
• Sustain the ‘brand’
• Prepare for and handle their
own pressures and needs
Where is my critical support?
• HR leader? Finance? IT/CIO?
• ‘chief transformation officer’?
• Consultancies?
• Personal coach?
20

21. Managers need help
• Leaders at their level
• - Supported, empowered? Role-
models?
• Managers responsible for people (not
HR)
• …. but too often….
- HR self-occupied
- Tensions about who does what
• Over-promoting task mgrs, technicians,
bullies and ‘politicians’
• Selected/trained as people developers?
• Struggling with rigid processes (eg
performance and reward)
21

22. HR under growing pressure
25 years of negative reports about HR
Main criticisms
• Poor ‘business’/strategic understanding
• Numbers-shy, weak ‘business cases’
• Prone to jargon, fashions, not evidence
• Focus on individuals, not organisation
• Rule and process-fixated (not
outcomes)
• Technologically challenged
• Lack courage to challenge bad
behaviour
• Not a function for high achievers
Can HR really transform itself?
22

23. Winds of change
• Talent/skills shortages increasingly
recognised as a critical risk factor
• Growing intolerance of poor leader
and manager behaviour (eg Uber)
• ‘Glassdoor’ – verdicts on
employers/leaders
• Wider adoption of integrated and
cloud-based, self-service systems
• Impact of social media (for better or
worse)
• New approaches to
performance/reward
• Business and HR analytics
23

24. Death-knell for
‘old’ HR
Technology creating a ‘tipping
point’
• Self-service – a game-changer
- replaces HR-generated
reports
- makes HR admin redundant
• BPs need to ‘up their game’
- basic advice automated
or outsourced
- short-term – help mgrs
get best out
of systems, but after that??
• Specialists – real ‘experts’ or
HR managers on job
rotation?
All 3 ‘legs’ of HR under pressure to
demonstrate value add
24

25. Address HR purpose and role
What is HR for?
• Change expert and facilitator?
• Organisational strategy shaper?
• Answering critical strategic
questions
• HR strategy built in, not ‘follow-
on’
• Performance & capability
enabler/coach (at every level)?
OR
• Order taker and implementer?
• Process manager?
• Prop for poor managers?
Increasingly replaceable by technology
25

26. Beyond
The next stage in getting the best out of people

27. High-performance people ‘philosophy’
• Replace ‘control’ with enablement
- foster ideas, maximise talent
- co-creation and involvement
• Trust - valued colleagues, not just
employees
• Customer relationship and crowd
resourcing methods/systems
• Foster collaboration and networking
• - break down silos, reward
problem-solving & team
performance, transparency
Requires unwinding deep-seated power
and status beliefs/practices/structures
27

28. Organisation Services and Analytics
• Integrated service function - finance, HR, IT etc
- built around internal customer needs, not historical functional silos
- better value, service, convenience, at lower cost
- mission: help employees be as productive as possible
- customer focus, continuous improvement, smart-tech
- insourced or outsourced or a blend – quality counts
• Integrated business analytics function
- clear line of sight, front to centre, across functions
- NOT about central control – about sharing, learning

29. Organisational effectiveness
• Multi-disciplinary function - expert
in change, performance and
development
– Architect - strategy, analysis,
design, policies
– Coach - building up calibre of
leadership, talent and skills at
all levels
• Organisation/business and people
experts
• Reduce need for external
consultancy – but blend internal
and external expertise flexibly
Leaders/managers have you on speed-
dial
29

30. Transitioning from HR to OE
• Higher level of expertise in classic HR areas,
and more
- Integrated thinking/practice across all areas
- All underpinned by Employer Brand, OD &
relationship mgt
- Purchasing and supplier management skills
• Combined with understanding of strategy,
finance, law, marketing, Ops Mgt, IT etc
• Structure – 3 ‘legs’ become two – OE &
Services
• OE – driver of ‘head office’ design,
teamwork and service
• - and close involvement with strategic
planning
30

31. This will take time
• Threatens traditional HR mentality, roles,
‘power’
• Other functions may be nervous too
• Managers wary of more work, poor IT
• Addressing years of under-investment in
people managers and leadership
• Distinct shortage of OE capability
However…
• The technology already exists
• Organisational leaders will demand greater
effectiveness & productivity, less cost
• Some organisations already edging this
way
Gap between high and low performing
organisations may widen
31

32. Tackling The Capability Gap
• Recruit HIPO managers from the ‘line’
• Retain/develop the best HRBPs, specialists
• Attract young talent able to be change
agents
• Incorporate external experts
• Transform HR curriculum into rigorous OE
development path (inc. specialised MBA)
• Larger organisations can use Mgt
academies; ‘professional bodies’ (eg CIPD,
ACCA, CIMA) to re-shape who they are and
what they do
Do HR leaders have what it takes to transform
themselves, their organisation and their
function?
32

33. Resourcing/recruitment
Into the future

34. Talent and skills needs
• Talent/skills - key driver of
organisational success and
resilience; core risk factor
• More of these….
- Soft skills and emotional intelligence
- Diversity, ability to operate globally
- Data science and tech savvy
- Learning and collaboration
orientation
• Cultural fit
• Adaptability and ability to re-skill
34

35. Other trends
• Smart automation of selection, assessment and
recruitment, supported by AI
• Employee-friendly policies – fit to individual needs
• Relationship management – tech enabled
• - Lifecycle from first contact to alumni
• - Boomerang workers
• - Contingent workers (blended workforce)
• - Employer brand management is critical
• Onboarding integrated into onward development
• More rigour, eliminate sloppy/disconnected practices

36. What next?
Thinking points and
discussion
The future of Human Resources |
A scenario approach from Deloitte

37. Scenario thinking
• The global economy is continually
being shaken by disruptive forces
that will affect both social and
professional life.
• Not only will the day-to-day work of
employees and the tools they use
change, but also entire organizational
processes, such as the way
companies find, reward, and retain
talent.
• At the same time, the increasing
degree of process automation has
implications for employees' data
security and privacy, and also for the
level of specialization required of HR
employees and investment in the HR
department.
37

38. Scenario thinking
• Scenario design provides the basis for
decision-making in view of
uncertainty by analyzing and
structuring a multitude of driving
forces in condensed critical
uncertainties that will shape the
future and have the potential to drive
it into one direction or the other.
• Based on these critical uncertainties,
scenarios are a means for reducing
their complex interaction.
• They are narratives of alternative but
thinkable futures that provide a
sound basis for developing robust,
future-proof strategies for anybody
with ties to Human Resources.
38

39. Scenario matrix to describe the future
of Human Resources
In the HR 4.0 scenario, most HR
solutions are highly automated
and employers are investing in
recruiting and retaining the
best talent. This leads to
customized offerings and a
thriving relationship between
employers and employees.
39
In Welcome to 1984, the
relationship between
employers and employees has
been reduced to a mere
exchange of work for money.
Combined with a high level of
automation in the HR
department, this leads to
standardized, low cost HR
solutions.
In an Old School in a New
Sharing World, employers
are interchangeable. At the
same time, stagnating
economic development and
difficulties in automating HR
solutions have made
employers reluctant to
invest in their workforce.
In the Only Humanity Matters
scenario, companies are
personal career partners for
their employees. The return to
old values and more stringent
data regulations paired with a
positive economic outlook
results in personalized HR
processes where human
interaction is still the key.

40. Four possible scenarios for the future
40
Only humanity
matters Low level of
automation and the
company as a
personal career
partner
4.0 High level of
automation and the
company as a
personal career
partner
Old school in a new
sharing world Low
level of automation
and the company as
one of many
workplace providers
In Welcome to 1984
High level of
automation and the
company as one of
many workplace
providers

capability needs in order to add
real value, ongoing?
42

43. • AI will transform core organisational
functions. Are you prepared for this?
• Will you/HR be a shaper or be
‘shaped’? What do you need to do
to be a ‘shaper’?
• Capability (incl leadership, talent,
skills) is critical to sustainable
performance. Are you essential for
that?
• ‘Intelligence’ drives decisions. Have
you equipped your organisation
with the analytics firepower to
ensure they are sound decisions?
