Future of work & HR Strategy




I am not only passionate about HR, I am also very hopeful about its future. HR is changing and it’s changing very fast. It’s safe to say that technology has given HR its much needed facelift in terms of achievability and measurability of goals which literally didn’t exist even a decade ago.
I am someone, who was always concerned about it and at times I have wished for a solution that miraculously turns HR from a policing / administrative role (in the minds of management and employees) to much of a strategic contributor. I am happy to see that finally, it’s happening because of technology in human resources.
Hence my strategy in future HR would definitely be, effective use of technology (provided the company I am working for permits) in making HR one of those functions that the top management feels is of value to the company’s investments (ROI) than  merely being a cost center. That involves making use of HRIS solutions in different functions of HR from recruitment to exit to performance management and succession planning.
My strategy would also be to use technologies that are cost effective and yet promise equally effective deliverables. If I could transform the administrative tasks into more strategic ones (that are consistent with the company’s goals and values) I consider myself as a successful human resource professional. Hence, my goal would be to work towards it in making it a reality.
