The new HR and the consumerization of work
Six imperatives for engaging your changing workforce
![Page 2: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Work is changing faster than ever before. As an HR leader, no one understands this better than you.
![Page 3: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The head-on collision of digitization, disruptive business models, technology advances and powerful socio-economic forces are transforming every company in every market.
![Page 4: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The winners of tomorrow will be diverse – but they’ll have one thing in common:
The companies that will thrive in the next decade will be the companies with the most
engaged workforces.
![Page 5: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Where everyone is on board, working for the same things and sharing the same values.We’ve seen it over and over again, from the companies overturning whole industries.
![Page 6: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
An engaged workforce is an insurmountable competitive advantage.With it, there’s very little you can’t accomplish.
![Page 7: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
But without it, any initiative can be dragged back to earth.
![Page 8: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This all adds up to one conclusion: In times of enormous change that
demand an aligned, motivated workforce,
the role of HR has never been more important.
![Page 9: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The choices you make as an HR leader will be critical determinants of your company’s success.
![Page 10: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But to rise to these challenges,
HR has to change tooWe can’t do what we’ve always done and
expect today’s employees to respond.
![Page 11: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In our HR transformation work, we’ve seen emerging patterns and themes that we believe every HR leader should be acting on right now.
These six imperatives – six actions – are shaping a completely
new kind of HRfor a new world of work.

Align
![Page 15: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The first job of HR is to align the goals of the employee with the goals of the business. That hasn’t changed.

What has changed is the set of
expectationsthat people bring to work today.
![Page 17: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
There’s a lot of talk in HR about the ‘consumerization of benefits’, but that’s just one manifestation of a deeper shift: the consumerization of work itself.
HR

More and more people see their employers as they see any other supplier – as a vendor competing for their loyalty. At the same time, other people expect a more traditional, even paternalistic relationship with their employer.

Aligning such a diverse workforce with the goals and strategies of the business is a far more
dynamic challenge than ever before.
![Page 20: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Your employees come first. And if you treat your employees right,
guess what? Your customers come back, and that makes your shareholders happy.
Start with employees and the rest follows from that.

Listen to employees in new ways.
Understand their needs more deeply.
Be flexible enough to respond to those needs.
Hire for the company’s goals and culture.
Communicate clearly and often about everything from the company’s mission to the ways you support employee health, wealth and career goals.
Use data to look for – and correct – signs of misalignment.
Alignment Actions
![Page 22: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Integrate
![Page 23: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
People think of their lives holistically. But HR departments are
split into silos.
![Page 24: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Today’s HR takes an integrated approach, bringing health, wealth and career together into one single view of (and for) the employee’s wellbeing.
![Page 25: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It makes sense: a decision about retirement savings, for example, may well depend on short-term healthcare needs.
![Page 26: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pension > Savings > Health Plan > Career Progress > < Fitness tracker data < Insurance < Personal banking
Making connectionsHR departments are helping employees integrate
their work lives with their lives outside of work, with open employee portals that allow people to bring their own data into their workplace information hub.
![Page 27: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Employees these days expect less of a separation of work and personal life. That doesn’t mean that work tasks should
encroach upon our personal time, but it does mean that employees today
expect more from the companies they work for.
Marc Benioff Founder and CEO of Salesforce
![Page 28: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Unite data sources as a service to the employee.
Create a holistic view of their health, wealth and career goals and status. Ensure it can be accessed via multiple channels.
Open up your employee portal to outside data sources, so your people can see everything that matters most in one place.
Reach out to social media and expert sources to help guide employee decisions (and reduce the stresses that erode engagement).
Integration Actions
![Page 29: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Analyze
![Page 30: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Today’s most progressive HR departments are using data-driven decisions to guide everything from benefits options and self-funded strategies
to communication channels, employee engagement, training progression, retirement
planning guidance and wellness incentives.
![Page 31: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Analytics also helps optimize provider discounts and simplify compliance.%
![Page 32: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
It’s a trend mirrored across every discipline, not just HR: collect data from all sources, then analyze it for insights into improved performance, participation and outcomes.
![Page 33: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
If the statistics are boring, you’ve got the wrong numbers.
Edward Tufte Professor Emeritus Statistics, Yale University
![Page 34: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Collect data from everywhere employees interact.
Connect disparate data sources to generate insight that drives better decisions.
Introduce smart systems that learn from the data to improve engagement and start to be predictive and prescriptive.
Analytics Actions
![Page 35: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Engage
![Page 36: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Old HR had a duty to inform. New HR must fully engage employees to be active participants in their own health, wealth and career choices.
![Page 37: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The stakes are higher but the old resistance is still high (thinking about things like wellness, finances and retirement can be stressful).
![Page 38: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
That’s why employee communications today looks a lot less like back-office administration and a lot more like (internal) marketing.
![Page 39: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Today, no leader can afford to be indifferent to the challenge
of engaging employees in the work of creating the future. Engagement may have been optional in the past,
but it’s pretty much the whole game today.

Engagement Actions
Communicate through multiple channels – email, text, social media, mobile apps… whatever your employees prefer.
Be creative – try new ways to get employees involved in programs, benefits and offers.
Explore gamification – reward interaction and ‘nudge’ people towards the right things.
Track key metrics.
Take data snapshots of the engagement levels of a given program or your entire health, wealth, and career landscape.

Personalize
![Page 42: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
At a time when everyone is bombarded with communications, the only thing that earns attention is
relevance.
![Page 43: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
One-size-fits-all programs or communications will, by definition, only be relevant to a subset of your entire workforce. So new HR leaders develop personalized programs and ‘narrowcast’ messages only to the people who will care.
![Page 44: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
It’s a hugely
powerful wayto make HR more relevant
to every employee.
![Page 45: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Everyone talks about building a relationship with
your customer. I think you build one with your
employees first.
Angela Ahrendts SVP Apple Retail
![Page 46: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Personalization Actions
Design custom portfolios that reflect the specific needs of each individual.
Target and generate dynamic communications that combine all relevant content into one, unique message for each person.
Create personalized portals that combine health, wealth and career information in a single wellbeing dashboard for each employee (we’ve got some great examples to show you).
Send fewer messages but with far higher relevance.
![Page 47: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Streamline
![Page 48: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
HR has always carried an enormous workload. But with the pace of change, the pressure of regulation and the complexity of today’s benefits, your entire department is in danger of drowning in administrivia.
![Page 49: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
That would be a huge loss to the business – a business that needs
active, strategic, proactive HR
more than ever before.
![Page 50: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
It’s not just a good idea to streamline, automate and accelerate every HR process you possibly can – it’s your duty. It’s the only way you’ll ever get to the more important parts of your job.
![Page 51: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
If you don’t
optimize your HR processes,
you won’t have the time or resources to attack the other 5 imperatives.
(But if you do… you will).
![Page 52: 6 Ways to change human resources in the millennial age](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030314/58996f981a28ab49478b54af/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
I view my role more as trying to set up an environment
where the personalities, creativity and individuality of all the different employees come
out and can shine.

Streamline Actions
Outsource your benefits administration to a partner to serve employees better, save money, improve compliance and keep your HR cutting edge.
Identify non-core HR functions that can be spun out into ‘HR-as-a-Service’ style delivery.
Focus your internal HR teams on the strategic imperatives listed above.
