From Adaptation To Transformation: Top HR Trends That Will Shape The Future Of Work
HR.com
December 23, 2021
In 2020 and 2021 many organizations have done a remarkable job. Many organizations showed resilience and were able to adapt their work practices to the Covid-19 crisis. Workers at the front showed their creativity and entrepreneurship and in many cases, working from home had big advantages. What will happen now? Will we (both organizations and people) slip back to our old habits, or will we show that 2022 and beyond will be a period of real transformation? While society is learning to live with Covid-19, HR teams are considering the opportunities to transform the workplace and shape the future of work. 1. HR Embraces Complexity (Get Rid of All Those Models) In The Museum of HR, you can find some great collections. Employee journey maps, Career paths, performance management cycles, HR models, and many more. The biggest collection is of leadership models, nearly 120. All the leadership models force us in the same direction: look for rounded leaders that master the competencies in these 5-10 (sometimes 20 or more!) competency areas. And 120 is probably not enough as I know of various organizations that are developing their own model. HR loves models. If I am chairing at HR conferences, almost every presentation contains some kind of model (very often with three circles as the basis of the model). The use of MBTI is another example. Humans are complex animals and wouldn’t it be nice if we could categorize them in manageable groups (16 grou...

10 Tips to Increase Capacity
HR Trend Institute
August 23, 2021
As the economy is improving, the number of vacancies in many countries is increasing. In the graph above an overview of the monthly job openings in the USA from June 2020 to June 2021. In the papers you can find articles with titles like: “More job openings than candidates” and “growth can stagnate because of lack of people”.
In my view there is no reason for organisations to become desperate. Most of the time there are ample opportunities to increase the capacity without hiring a lot of additional people.
Some suggestions, in no particular order.

A client asked me recently: can we buy an annual subscription to you? A kind of “multi ticket” card (the Dutch word is “strippenkaart”). We pay you a retainer, and every activity you do for us costs one or more tickets.

I liked the idea, and they became the first client who bought a multi ticket. I branded this “Add Tom Haak to your team”. Or: Strengthen your team with Tom.

Wikipedia defines nudging as follows: “Nudge is a concept in behavioural science, political theory and economics which proposes positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions as ways to influence the behaviour and decision making of groups or individuals.

Every good conversation starts with listening. Really?
HR Trend Institute
October 19, 2020
Back in 2014 Remco Mostertman, founder of the Dutch HR Community, wanted to start a series with HR Quotes, and he asked if he could share (on Twitter) some of my videos with a nice quote. I provided some quotes, but Remco didn’t like the quote I provided with a short video about listening, so he suggested another one, he found on the internet: “Every good conversation starts with listening”. He created a picture (unfortunately I cannot find it anymore), where a very big ear was attached to my head, and a balloon with the quote. It was posted on Twitter somewhere in August 2014.

Communication models, from Aristotle to White
HR Trend Institute
September 28, 2020
There are many communication models, and they all look alike. There is a sender and there are one or more receivers. The sender can choose a channel, and whatever channel she chooses, the message is distorted. The receivers are active or passive. It they react, maybe even if they don’t react, there is feedback. A channel is chosen for the feedback, and the feedback is distorted, if you like it or not. Miscommunication models would maybe be as better title.

HR Pyramids
HR Trend Institute
September 07, 2020
The Pyramid
After the circle and the arrow, the pyramid is probably the most used shape in HR visuals. We found HR pyramids everywhere. Unfortunately we had to report a lot of pyramid abuse. In many visuals it is not clear why a pyramid is used. A good example of the proper use of a pyramid is Maslows pyramid with the hierarchy of needs. The basic needs at the bottom, more “luxury” needs at the top. The higher in the pyramid, the smaller the size of the people in the group. One big group is missing in Maslow’s pyramid: the group of people whose most basic needs are not met.

Examples: Daily: meditating (with Headspace). A cold shower. No meat. Seven hours sleep. Weekly: 3-4 times running, total at least 30K. Bi-weekly: Ajax home match (during the season). Annually: Certain runs (like the Posbankloop and the Zevenheuvelenloop). A couple of weeks in the sun during the winter. Habits at Work Habits can be powerful, also at work.

11 HR Trends for 2016
linkedin
November 30, 2015
One year ago, on 29 November 2014, I published “9 emerging HR Trends for 2015”. Many of the trends I mentioned end 2014 were very visible in 2015. The changes in performance management, the transfer to mobile, the use of communities for recruitment and people analytics were on the agenda in many organisations. Some trends moved very slow. The end of PowerPoint seems to be wishful thinking. I have been in many meetings, conferences, round tables and symposia this year, and I must have seen more than 5,000 PowerPoint slides. Most of them of very poor quality.

10 Top Trends for 2023
ERIAC
September 01, 2022
In his keynote Tom Haak, one of the leading global HR thought leaders, gave an indication of what he considers trends that will affect the world of work in 2023. Most of the trends are long-term trends and they don't change from month-to-month or year-to-year. The adoption of trends in the workplace is rather slow. What are some of the reasons behind this? Organisations can be caught in their traditional organisational models, and not be able to drive real transformation from within. Tom's view on the future is bright: there are many opportunities to improve the world of work and to bring societal, organisational and personal purpose closer together.

Casual collision, dialogue & collective intelligence
YouTube
October 18, 2020
Hoe borg je continuous listening? Wat is casual collision?

Hoe kun je met je medewerkers verbinden en hoe verbind je ze onderling?

Gesprek met Tom Haak van HR Trend Institute over onze gedeelde visie op trends en hoe de innovatieve dialoogoplossing van CircleLytics het probleem oplost wat de enquête (zoals employee engagement survey) niet lukt.

Trends die Tom samenvat obv onze technologie waar #HR en #CEO belang bij hebben:

- continuous listening: luisteren naar meningen, niet naar scores alleen, luisteren naar elkaar, tot iets groters komen
- push forward innovation; door casual collisions van CircleLytics, komen medewerkers met nieuwe meningen in contact
- increase resilience; verbonden mensen, inclusie, diversiteit en veiligheid zorgen voor weerbaarheid van teams.

Zelf voeg ik daar nog 'collective intelligence' aan toe: de groep is onder voorwaarden, intelligenter, creatiever en betrokkener dan de optelsom van de individuen.

HR Trends Today
Hi5 Technologies
March 21, 2019
Tom Haak has always worked in HR. Based in the Netherlands, he worked his way up from a trainee to a senior position at Phillips Electronics, went on to other multinational companies like Aon and KPMG and later took the position of global HR Director for Arcadis, a leading global natural and built asset design & consultancy firm. He founded the HR Trend Institute in 2014.

He argues that a lot of the skills/principles necessary for HR can be learnt in tertiary institutions (like how to read statistics, how to use algorithms, etc.), but the HR industry is always in flux. Keeping up with the changing trends in HR is a continued education, beyond your degree or diploma.

HR-Trendforscher gibt es viele. Doch Trends zu erkennen oder gar vorauszusagen ist als HR-Mensch gar nicht so einfach. Vor allem das «neutral sein» fällt den Beobachtern oft schwer. Diese Feststellung macht auch Tom Haak. Der Holländer ist Gründer des HR Trend Institute, das jedes Jahr eine der wichtigsten HR-Trendstudien herausgibt.

«Ich denke, Sie sind in gewisser Hinsicht eher ein Trend-Herbeiwünscher als ein Trend-Beobachter.» Diesen Satz musste sich Tom Haak anhören – berechtigterweise, wie er heute findet. Denn einige seiner HR-Trends sind schon eher Wunschdenken, als dass sie auf Fakten und gründlichen Recherchen basieren. Im Interview beschreibt Tom Haak die HR-Trends 2019, wobei künstliche Intelligenz und auch die Persönlichkeit eine grosse Rolle spielen. Das Gespräch mit dem Holländer wurde auf Englisch geführt.

How we do business today is rapidly evolving thanks to the advent of tools like AI and other technologies that allow us to deepen relationships with our audiences and do our jobs better and talent acquisition is no exception.

But all of this advancement comes at a time when recruiting and talent acquisition professionals are facing a nearly unprecedented uphill climb in getting and keeping the right candidate in the right position. Historic lows in unemployment rates, talent shortages in our increasingly data-driven world, and rising employee turnover mean that talent acquisition professionals will need to up their game to win in 2019.

Thats why we asked the experts how they see talent acquisition changing this year, and how we will need to adapt to keep up.

9 HR Trends for 2023 - Breaking Boundaries
HR Trend Institute
December 28, 2022
In 2023 it's time for HR to break boundaries.

- Your organisation needs it
- Your people need it
- Your communities need it
- Our planet needs it

We're facing big challenges across society – the cost-of-living crisis, the war in Ukraine, business complexity, skill shortages, hybrid working and, of course, perhaps the most significant challenge – the need to fight climate change.

To respond to and help solve these complex problems, HR needs to work in multi-functional ways, collaborate and break down boundaries.

- Personal boundaries
- Functional boundaries
- Organisational boundaries

The pandemic has blurred the traditional boundaries separating our working lives from our personal, home, and social lives. We're seeing a renegotiation of the employee-employer relationship. Increasingly, people seek a more human employment deal that requires a more holistic approach to the employee experience.

The world of work is rapidly changing, and a people-centric approach is crucial to business success. In 2023 we encourage HR professionals to stand up, call things out, lead by example and be the voice for people and our planet.

BigMarker

We are going through the greatest velocity of change in human history. A velocity driven by developments in technology, expanding globalization, social movements and political changes. Now throw a global pandemic into the mix and it is no surprise that organizations are struggling to keep up with the changing pace of business dynamics.

Since people drive success in most companies today, the first priority for organizations as they realign themselves is to ensure that their workforce is ready for new purposes and company goals. The pressure for speed and agility on HR and recruitment teams has never been so great.

So how do you ensure people have the skills for today as well as tomorrow? Whether it is rapidly hiring to fill front-line needs, or looking within and leveraging internal talent, recruiting teams need greater talent awareness, access, and acquisition efficiency.

From people analytics to analytics for the people

Date : October 07, 2020

A lack of trust can influence many workforce analytics efforts. If the focus is primarily on efficiency and control, employees will doubt if there are any benefits for them.
Overall there is a shift to more employee-centric organizations, although sometimes you can doubt how genuine the efforts are to improve the employee experience.
Asking the question: “How will the employees benefit from this effort?” is a good starting point for most people analytics projects. It also helps to create buy-in, which becomes increasingly important with the introduction of the GDPR.
Just measuring the “mood” of employees, and other key people indicators (productivity, tenure) does not necessarily bring benefits to employees. It might actually backfire: employees feel that they are controlled, and their voice is not heard.

Corporate and employee activism

Date : October 07, 2020

Many organisations are still very inwardly focused. The key question is more “How can we solve our problems?” than “how can we solve problems in our society?”. Taking ownership of your corporate social responsibility can be more than offering employees the opportunity to do good on one day per year.
Research showed that more than half of those working in America’s largest companies feel that corporate America needs to play a more active role in addressing important societal issues.
There are enough issues to tackle. Employees are willing to contribute. HR can play an important role in facilitating and stimulating corporate/employee activism.

Learning in the flow of work

Date : October 07, 2020

It makes a difference if an employee must search actively for a learning module that he or she needs, or if that the micro-learning module is offered at an appropriate moment in the workflow, based on real time observations of the behaviour the employee. If there is a meeting with company X in your diary, your personal learning aid might ask: “Do you want to learn more about company X?”. If you are stuck in designing a difficult Excel macro, the Excel chatbot asks you: “Can I help you to design the macro?”.
If you have a meeting scheduled with an employee with a low performance rating (the computer gets this information in the HRIS), you are offered a short module “how to deal with under-performing employees”. During you online sales call, you receive suggestions in your screen on how to improve the conversation (“Ask some questions”, “Try to close”), and afterwards your conversation is compared with best-in-class examples, resulting in some learning points.
The solutions become even better if your individual learning style and the level of your capabilities are considered.

Less focus on process improvement

Date : October 07, 2020

The last years the focus in the HR domain has been very much on process improvement. Old processes are redesigned, and new tools are introduced. On the surface it looks modern and state-of-the-art, but if you look under the hood the real changes are minor. The solutions and programs are still very much organisational focused (we want something, how do we get our employees to get along). Real employee-centric solutions are scarce.
In the meantime, candidates, employees and managers do not see the clear benefits of the HR-initiatives. The processes are too complex, and too standardised. Although we have been talking about the consumerisation of HR for years, the user experience at home is often better than at work.
The expectations were high, but the results are below expectations. Time for HR to go back to the drawing board, and to get a lot closer to the various client groups. What are the burning needs and concerns, and how can we contribute today?

Personalisation in the workplace

Date : October 07, 2020

Historically HR has focused very much on standardisation and “One-Size-Fits-All”. Making the shift to an approach where the individual needs, wishes and capabilities of candidates and employees are the starting point is difficult. Traditionally, many HR-practices take the needs of the organisation as the starting point. An example is recruitment: we have an organisation structure, with a hierarchy, and well-defined jobs. Next step: how do we find the candidates that can fill the vacancy? Another example: most onboarding processes are designed top-down: what do we want new employees to know when they enter the organisation? The reverse question is hardly ever asked: what can we learn from the new employees who enter the organisation?
Also Learning & Development has a hard time to make the shift to an individualised approach. We still see many programs targeted at groups (e.g. high potentials, senior managers), with a large classroom component.

The anti-fragile personality

Date : October 07, 2020

The current COVID-19 crisis has led to an increased attention to resilience. How can we increase the resilience of organisations and the people in the workforce, in order to be able to adapt quicker to future crisis. Resilience might not be enough. A better concept is anti fragility, as laid out by Nicholas Taleb in 2012. The short definition of antifragile: "Things that gain from disorder". Organisations will be looking for people with antifragile personalities, people that can help organisations to bounce back on a higher level.
