Gallup 2013 State of US Workforce Study:

Only 30% of US workforce is engaged

70% of employees are disengaged or

actively disengaged

18% of these are actively

disengaged, acting out their unhappiness

Gallup calculates that low employee engagement costs US

businesses $450 billion annually – more than the GDPs of

Israel, Portugal, and Singapore

• Jan, 2012, American Psychology Assn survey

41% of US workers are experiencing work stress regularly and

almost half say low salary has a significant impact on their

stress level at work

Just 54% of employees feel valued, and 32% intend to seek

other employment within a year

HR teams have been hit as hard as

other departments by budget cutting

Leading a rebound within the confines

of smaller HR teams will require greater

creativity

The bottom line for most HR professionals

today is: “Do more with less.”

Many MNEs lost their strong employer brands

during the global recession and have not

regained their former strength

Rebuilding their employer brand will be key to

their business success and ability to convince

high performers to stay with their companies

Challenges

1. Centralized vs. Decentralized2. Change Management3. Risk Management4. Future Strategies

Mismatch of internal and external change is a constant challenge for HR!!

Can outside consultants really know your internal state?

Movement away from external consultants to building a team of internal change agents selected from the best internal HR professionals.

Risk needs a better definition!

Didn’t we used to say “nothing ventured, nothing gained?”

HR now has a purely compliance lens

HR is in the “no” business

Need to think not only about defensive risk, but also about proactive risk

Ask the question…What will likely happen if I don’t take this risk?

If you don’t do it first, someone else probably will

Strategies are just starting to include more people elements

Going forward HR will need both a physical and a virtual people strategy

Pure psychology….virtual cannot fully work without true relationship building

#1:Grow

from Within

#2:Build/Rebuild

Your Brand

Build or rebuild your employer brand to retain and engage your high-performing employees and attract new talent from outside

Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP)

evaluates future critical talent needs

through systematic workforce assessment

This ability to predict and fill future talent

needs is critical as companies move from

survival mode to long-term sustainability

HR must make the ROI business case to top management for

strategic workforce planning

Developing your talent begins by

creating a culture that rewards people

emotionally for their efforts and meets

their professional expectations

Most employees give top priority to

interesting and challenging work and

growth opportunities

Career and leadership development programs can provide

enriching opportunities to improve skills and knowledge

Goal: Create an image of your

organization as a “Great Place to Work”

among your stakeholders and the public
