In 2019, an intensifying combination of economic, social, and political issues is forcing HR and business leaders to learn to lead the social enterprise – and reinvent their organizations around a human focus. The Middle East Human Capital Trends report draws on insights from nearly 10,000 global survey respondents, includes actionable strategies and stories from companies that are at the forefront of reinvention and focuses on the UAE and KSA markets.
The alternative workforce
The alternative workforce can be a long-term solution to tight talent markets but only if treated strategically.
From jobs to superjobs
As organizations embrace and adopt robotics and AI, they’re finding that virtually every job can be redesigned creating new categories of work, including hybrid jobs and “superjobs.”
Leadership for the 21st century
Leaders today face new challenges due to the speed of technological, social, and economic change. Do these new challenges call for a new breed of leaders?
From employee experience to human experience
What creates a positive, motivating experience at work? Mainly, it’s the meaning and growth people find in the work itself and to improve that, the entire organisation has to be involved.
Organizational performance
Hierarchies are being displaced by teams at organizations across industries and geographies. How can senior leaders, HR departments, and rank-and-file workers get teaming “right”?
Rewards
With wage growth lagging behind inflation, many organizations are turning to noncash perks and programs to help drive worker retention and performance. But perks and pay aren’t what matter the most.
Accessing talent
In today’s world of changing jobs and skills, organizations have an opportunity to take a fresh look at how they approach talent acquisition, exploring new approaches to determining what talent they need and where and how to find it.
Learning in the flow of life
In a competitive external talent market, learning is vital to an organization’s ability to obtain needed skills. But to achieve the goal of lifelong learning, it must be embedded into not only the flow of work but the flow of life.
Talent mobility
An organization’s biggest potential talent source may be its own people. But why do so many organizations find internal talent so hard to access?
HR cloud
Cloud-based systems have not been a panacea for HR but then, they were never intended to be. Instead, they can give organizations a solid foundation for integrating the explosion of new tools that HR software vendors are now developing.
Looking ahead
The alternative workforce can be a long-term solution to tight talent markets but only if treated strategically.
