Topic: 2020: The Rise of Next Generation of HR

Speakers: Denise Kalos, Executive Director, Organizational Effectiveness for the BUCK Institute for Research on Aging and Julius Schillinger, Vice-President, Sales and Account Management, Managed Health Network (MHN).

Business-integrated HR organizations—those focused on a blend of compliance, talent management AND strategic initiatives—have nearly 40 percent lower turnover and more than twice the revenue per employee, as compared with solely compliance-driven HR organizations, regardless of company size.  In addition, companies with business-integrated HR have 38 percent higher employee engagement, higher promotion rates, and superior capabilities in capturing, analyzing and applying workforce data to guide business decisions.

This presentation will examine the key components of a business integrated HR approach, and the unprecedented workforce trends mandating HR’s compelling need to prepare now for the coming transformation of the business landscape.

• Investments in Strategic HR – Forward-thinking HR leaders are using an increasing percentage of their budgets to fund strategic initiatives, such as wellness programs, employee engagement initiatives and workforce analytics.

• Although the HR profession is often criticized as being overly administrative, there is good reason to focus on HR fundamentals (compensation, benefits services, payroll administration, and employee relations). Anyone who has ever counted on receiving a paycheck understands why. Once these processes are in place, HR functions can focus on talent management and strategic initiatives.

• Nearly one in 10 HR dollars is allocated to “strategic” HR initiatives—the fastest growing part of the HR budget—which include employee engagement, workforce planning and measurement, and wellness programs.

• Crafting a Healthcare Strategy – many companies are struggling with one of the key drivers for the relentless escalation of healthcare costs—employee’s poor health habits.  Yet, 56% of employers do not have a strategic plan for their healthcare benefits spend.  We’ll review alternative healthcare strategies.

• Reshaping Employee Engagement to Employee Enablement

• Leveraging Workforce Analytics for ROT (Return on Talent) – advancing technology and lower computing costs have greatly eased the collection and crunching of people-related data, enabling companies to get their arms around what’s going on with their human capital in a much more analytic, metrics-driven way than was possible a few years ago. Driven by economic forces, human-capital management is emerging as a core competency for employers, to enable informed, cost-effective business decision-making.

• The Biggest Workplace Shift in 100 Years – the arrival of “Generation C” in the workforce–Connected, Communicating, Content-centric, Computerized, Community oriented, Clicking away—combined with Boomers working into their 70’s & 80’s, will create 5 generations working side-by-side (and virtually) in the workplace.  We’ll examine the implications of this unprecedented phenomenon for HR.

• The Rise of Woman CEO’s – a push for more women in leadership roles, in companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500.  In emerging markets women leaders drive higher health investments, and better business results.  Only 3% of F-500 CEOs are women.
