How The New Normal is Shaping the Future Of Human Capital Development
The events of the past two years have pushed organizations to redefine business models and adopt the new normal. As economies and businesses are trying to offset the impact of these events, human capital and investments around human capital development are likely to take a centre seat. Right from accessing and hiring the right talent to build a resilient and digital-ready organization, human capital development is going to be the key.
The new normal is likely to witness the hybrid working model. Although this is
a positive change, the new working model would restructure the existing
organizational culture. Therefore, organizations should look to create an
employee-centric work culture that is in line with the core values of the
organization as well as adaptable to both in-office and remote working.
Organizational structures would change and become more flexible. The ultimate
goal would be productivity and performance, but employees would feel more
inclusive and valued. All these changes would be done keeping in mind the
safety protocols, and here we are talking about both physical and mental
well-being.
Employees have gone through a lot of uncertainties and distress during the
pandemic. Organizations should stand beside them and think about restructuring
compensations based on market dynamics. It is no longer about the number of
hours spent, rather it has now become an outcome-based model where incentives
and pay are directly linked with productivity and output. Productivity can be
enhanced further when you take care of your employees’ professional growth.
Help in upskilling their competencies and make them more future-ready. This
will benefit both the organization as well as the employees – a win-win
situation for both parties.
A very valuable ally that has helped organizations transform and adapt to the
new normal is data and analytics. Sounds technical, right? But data and
analytics have immense potential when it comes to human capital development.
What are the market realities for compensations? How to monitor and measure
workforce productivity? What are the gaps that need immediate attention? Yes,
data and insights gathered from data can help you drive answers. HR analytics
will help you stay competitive in the modern business world. You can optimize
your human capital development by
adequate resource allocation, analysing employee performance, and make
data-driven decisions to decide on the future strategy of the organization.
