Global Human Capital Trends 2020

Rather than focus narrowly on employee engagement and culture, organizations are developing an integrated focus on employees and the entire employee experience, bringing together all the workplace, HR and management practices that impact people on the job that enhance staff well-being… and, not surprisingly, this requires cross-organizational collaboration and communication (Deloitte research).

Engaging experiences will help companies attract and retain skilled people and a strong employee experience drives a strong customer experience.

STATS: 60 – 90 % of employees are discontent in their jobs (depends on industry and organization)

Complete Employee Experience (Tools)

To facilitate, understand and improve this complete experience – tools are required to measure employee satisfaction – some examples include feedback tools, wellness and fitment apps, integrated employee self-service tools, as well as staff assessments and audits to gauge employee disposition, discover what is going on below surface appearances and find out what is working and what not.

HR Trends

The concept of employee experience (EX) and EX initiatives are no longer considered ‘new’, but they are now as relevant as ever, if not more so.

STATS : ‘2019 Employee Experience (EX)’ Deloitte Research – 90% of HR practitioners agreed that EX is a top priority for their companies’ HR leadership teams.

• Business Insights: HR analytics, new technologies.
• Millennials, new work and new job descriptions (happiness officer)
• Biggest challenges facing organizations: internal communication, company culture, hiring talent, retaining top talent, employee well-being…

STATS: Deloitte research 75% millennials believe organizations are too focused on their own agenda rather than on values, greater good and societal/ social/ community impact.

Turnaround Experts

Experienced consulting psychologists, business consultants and management development professionals help organizations select, understand, develop and organize their most important assets ( their people) and some also provide the infrastructure to provide the insights; do the assessments, measurements and reporting or outsource it.

Ask the right questions

Ask why, why, why? Why this location? Why these skills? Why this time frame? Why…?

Deloitte research – 75% millennials believe organizations are too focused on their own agenda rather than on values, greater good and societal/ social/ community impact.

Environments that impact on Employee Experience

• Physical environment (location/ machinery/ equipment/ natural/ local/ global/ national/ international/ central/ dispersed)
• Technical environment (infrastructure/ software/ application/ workflow/ systems/ procedures)
• Cultural environment (corporate/ community/ ethnic/ social/ religious/ family/ team).

Teal organizations

Based on the work of Professor Clare W. Graves, a Teal organisation is the proposed next level in a series of color-coded developmental levels throughout human history. Graves postulated that humanity is ready for an eventful leap forward – a leap into Teal.

Teal organisations revolve around three specific values: self-management, wholeness and evolutionary purpose. In practice, this means hierarchies are removed and people are empowered to be their true selves, while working together towards a goal without competition.

In spite of all its technology, a firm is only as good as its people.

Meaningful work includes better selection of staff for a better fit, greater autonomy, small self-regulating and self-empowered teams ( Holacracy) – A structured set of rules grants employees the freedom to self-manage without straying from the organisation’s purpose.  This freedom eliminates problems like uneven power dynamics and duty-related guesswork.

Trust in management/ leaders. Integrated mission, vision values, purpose and objectives to inspire and motivate employees. Transparency, Honesty. Fairness. Give proof that people are important.

Supportive Management provide clear, transparent goals, coaching, invest in developing managers and leaders at all levels and does just-in-time/ agile performance management, a culture of recognition, continuous investment in people/ human capital development.

Growth Opportunity supports a culture of continuous learning and development which includes on the job training and support, formal skills development, facilitated talent mobility, self-directed, dynamic learning, health enhancing programs and esteem building.

Positive Work Environment makes sure there is flexi-time, comfortable ergonomics where possible, and across-the board development of emotional, social and communication skills to improve relationships.

What’s missing

Firing on half your cylinders

All these aspects are good and well and very left-brain – and still leave people disgruntled, stressed, if not burnt out and/or discontent even when they don’t know why, feeling something’s missing.

Right Brain Activation

The biggest thing missing is giving the right brain a chance.  [Untapped Human Capital]

BOOST People Power create time for recuperation, thinking, developing creativity and improving all aspects of the business and work experience.

Joy & Happiness – They say happiness is a choice, but joy is something that bubbles up from inside. Joy is a product of right-brain activation. Joy is not a state of mind, attitude, outlook nor choice… it is a state of being… and can only happen when you are engrossed (not engaged, not motivated, but inspired) and driven by passion, purpose and meaning.

Sure, this is the ideal, and may not be ‘practical’, but let’s be ‘unpractical’ then and make it happen!

Imagine this…

Imagine you could jump out of bed in the morning with a sparkle in your eye, a spring in your step and an excitement that knows no bounds because you love what you do and do what you love, in whatever work context you find yourself – self-employed, working for someone, or some not yet thought of option…
