NO PARKING. No parking? You are driving around, looking, searching. You find a great spot, pull in, breathe a sigh of relief and then you see itNO PARKING. So what do you do? Put the car in reverse and start looking all over again. As a leader, contributor, and member of the HCM Community, our hope is that you act on a common theme with us in 2007 of "No Parking." If you adhere to the no parking rule, then you must be pushing forward, making progress, and most importantlynot stopping as you continue to achieve your goals.  There's no time for reverse.

 

In keeping with the theme of No Parking, this month we are featuring  the duo: The Radical Leap, and The Radical Edge.

In our work around HR, Human Capital Management and Talent Management, one of the common themes is the changing nature of the workforce.  From a HR technology standpoint and leveraging HRMS and other strategic HR applications, here are some stats that need to be leveraged in making decisions.

 

These impact technologies such as:

 

  • Portals to drive 24/7 communication, alignment and engagement * Workforce Intelligence to drive visibility into the workforce; what we have where and when we need what * Online access to information - Knowledge, Content, Analytics, Transactions (employee and manager direct access) * Solid talent management tools such as talent acquisition, performance management (not just appraisal), learning management, compensation management and succession management.

��� In 1977, 38% of the workforce was over 40; today, it's 56%. 

��� Women make up nearly half of the wage and salaried workforce. 

��� More households include dual-earner couples: 78% today, vs. 66% in 1977. 

Meantime, the pressures of the 24/7 workplace are mounting. As a result: 

��� 39% of employees are not fully engaged in their jobs. 

��� 54% are less than fully satisfied with their jobs. 

��� 38% are somewhat or very likely to make a concerted effort to find a new job in the coming year. 

Use these statistics in your conversations around HR strategy and direction.  Understand that technology can impact many of these important trends in our workforce.

Another infusion of knowledge..
