Transforming the HR function

Once a buzzword, HR transformation has become a matter of survival. Many organizations simply cannot succeed without effective remote working, digitalization of work, and agile workforces. The current environment demands shifting gears—from gradual evolution to rapid transformation.

 

With Mercer’s help, the most innovative HR teams are leading the change – not just supporting it – by transforming HR into a more people-centric function that is reimagining the employee experience and finding efficiencies during an unexpected time.

Current HR priorities

Research from Mercer’s Global Talent Trends Study shows energized employees are more resilient, more likely to stay and more ready to reskill — all vital to helping the business thrive. But only 4% of HR teams believe they deliver an exemplary employee experience.

 

Below are the top current priorities for HR. Which of these does your organization need to work on?

 


How can we build a compelling talent value proposition and develop data-driven strategies to attract and retain talent?


How do we develop a business case for HR technology investments and assess our HR cloud-readiness?


How can we ensure our employee experience differentiates us, especially in the new world of blended work?


How can we evolve our HR model to fit with an agile work environment?


How do we inspire and engage our people through substantial change?



 

Redesigning HR processes with people at the center

As organizations commit to improving the employee experience, we help HR play a strategic role by transforming from a target operations model (TOM) to a target interaction model (TIM). In the TIM, HR becomes a more people-centered function. It places a premium on exceptional personal and digital employee interactions, with employee satisfaction as the key success metric.

 

By targeting the desired employee experience and building on end users’ needs, HR will naturally create a new people-focused design. As Mercer’s Global Talent Trends Study shows, organizations with an integrated strategy, both within the business and across HR, are more effective. High-growth firms are four times more likely to have an integrated people strategy.
