It used to be that most changes in business, including workforce change, were intermittent.   Like rafting down a river with rapids, organizations would go through a period of tumult – or whitewater -  when they would reorganize, shift resources or reassign employees in one big event.  Then the workplace would return to a stable state of ‘business as usual’.  Over time, the change cycles have become shorter and shorter, and we’ve now reached a point of continuous change – or ‘permanent whitewater’. 
What is the framework for managing change when it’s constant? How do you employ methods and tools to make sure you stay on top of the wave, not in it? 
Join Jeitosa and HumanConcepts to discuss the new 'permanent whitewater' of workforce change along with the tools and techniques you need to manage for better results.

There is no question that the modern workforce is changing. And it’s changing fast and in many ways. Understanding these changes and learning to manage them effectively is a key role that HR has in optimizing the productivity of workforce. There are four major aspects to the evolving modern workforce – the new Multi-Dimensional Talentforce:

• Multi-Generational

• Multi-Cultural

• Multi-Contractual

• Multi-Locality

Interwoven throughout these four dimensions are, of course, personality characteristics — both learned and socialized — that make up the human workforce. Clearly the challenge for HR and organization leaders is to develop strategies that effectively utilize the strengths of the multi-dimensional talentforce and mitigate the challenges by leveraging global diversity through Awareness, Understanding, Acceptance, and Integration. Transitioning through these stages from initial Denial and Rejection to Awareness and Integration involves managing the process of change. Some individuals understand and embrace diverse ways of working more readily than others. A major role for HR professionals is to support individuals and the organization throughout the continual change process. This presentation will discuss each of these areas and explore the lead that HR can take in helping to leverage the workforce and manage the change and integration process in the increasingly complex world we live in.

In our increasingly global world, HR is confronted daily with challenges in meeting the needs of the global organization. Many HR systems in use today were implemented by corporate headquarters and do not encompass the requirements of the full global organization. Coping with multiple, disparate systems and un-integrated processes make it difficult to align the global HR organization with corporate goals. Building a business case to consolidate, integrate, and align HR systems across the globe is a complex, but achievable task. This presentation will describe the process and major components that Global Hyatt Corporation followed in building a business case for a global HR implementation, covering both business and financial aspects and assessing both tangible and intangible value.

The changing technological paradigm brought about by Web 2.0 and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is enabling a new framework for HR business process design. The traditional method of defining business requirements and building system specifications by creating a plethora of static Word and Excel documents is being replaced by a rapid, iterative, collaborative, prototyping approach. The new world of On-Demand applications that are agile, adaptable, and dynamic allows users to build their business processes online in a collaborative, iterative manner – changing and refining processes as they move forward – creating a much richer, faster, and more effective approach to HR business process design.

Whether to centralize or decentralize the global HRIT organization continues to perplex HR and IT executives. Yet, it turns out that we’re not asking the right question. In fact, we’ve been going about globalization completely the wrong way. The old adage, “Think Global, Act Local,” is the inverse of what we should be doing in HRIT. Rather, it is by first “thinking locally” to understand the needs of our local business communities, and then “acting globally” to seamlessly knit together diverse business functions and systems into a holistic approach that we can build an effective and competitive global organization.

Organizations are increasingly under pressure to deliver greater value for less cost and to drive enterprise performance management and accountability on a global basis.  But how do you determine value and evaluate cost in a global environment?  What is highly prized in one culture may be looked down upon by another; what is high cost in one country may be cost effective in another.  Metrics on diversity, mobility, satisfaction, retention, rewards, recognition, and so on differ widely in their interpretation, acceptance, relevance, and usefulness in different countries around the world.  The challenge before us is to “think locally, but act globally,”  This means we must first make sure that we truly understand the requirements and conditions in the local business environment; only then can we build a global workforce intelligence model that is effective and relevant on a worldwide basis.  Based on the results of a recent “Going Global” survey, this presentation will describe the types of metrics organizations are using globally, regionally, and locally.  We will attempt to unravel some of the complexities of global workforce intelligence and illuminate the cultural influences organizations face in interpreting and driving organizational performance through predictive analytics and business forecasting.
