In an increasingly complex world, buffeted by shifts in demographics, technological advances and geopolitical strife, the world of work will change dramatically in the future. For some organisations, the future has already arrived. HR needs to reexamine its approach in supporting organisations to insure that efficient work processes, skilled workers, engaged and inspiring leaders are in place to successfully execute business strategies. The annual Conference Board survey of global leaders, C-Suite Challenge 2019: The Future-Ready Organization, cites the number one internal concern across the globe among CEOs and HR leaders as "the attraction and retention of talent." Dr. Ray will share what C-Suite leaders around the world told us about the future they envision and the questions they are trying to address:

With more young workers entering the workforce, the workplace is changing. Young workers are more motivated if their work is purposeful and if they are in the driving seat with opportunities to learn new things every day. This is very different from the traditional mode of corporate training where employees were sent to training courses their company felt they needed. Therefore, it is imperative that a learning culture be built to encourage the NextGen employees to learn and grow by themselves – from an agile workspace, to embracing digital communication and upholding innovation. What kind of employee experience we can create to nurture this type of company learning culture for our NextGen employees?

Conversations about applying data analytics to HR management aren’t new. Despite more than a decade of discussion, organisations are at different maturity levels when it comes to its adoption. The need for high-performing talent has never been greater, thus it is more important than ever to leverage data in human resources. Data analytics can help organisations hire the right candidate, for the right job, at the right time. But building a data-driven function across all dimensions of HR – from talent acquisition, performance, and workforce planning to workplace policies, employee engagement, and retention – can be complex and challenging. Some use it for simple reporting, while others have gone deep and implemented sophisticated predictive analytics. The discrepancy in adoption levels can be attributed partly to varying objectives by industry. Some need to justify investments and predict risks, while others are more concerned with workforce planning, business decisions and peer benchmarking. Mr Wong will speak about how talent data and insights can help you answer tough talent-related questions.

An estimated 85% of employees around the world do not consider themselves engaged at work. The harsh reality is that employee disengagement will have a direct impact on the bottom line of companies. Employees who are less engaged are less productive, leading to reduced profitability for the business. Best-in-class companies recognise the need to reward their staff; few of them are investing in new technology to make HR processes more efficient. Quokka is introducing Human Resources 2.0 – allowing companies to integrate new technology into traditional strategies and processes as well as adding value to the HR management cycle from recruiting, learning and development, performance management to engagement and recognition using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
