Consider a few statistics that suggest how quickly technology is upending the job market and the workplace:
• 85% of jobs that will exist in 2030 don’t exist today;
• Currently available technologies could replace 45% of human work today; and
• Nearly half of decision-makers don’t know what their industries will look like in three years’ time.
This uncertain future is placing human resources (HR) departments under enormous strain, demanding that they become more agile at:
• Forecasting skills businesses will need;
• Sourcing the human resources needed to perform the work;
• Enhancing employee engagement to retain the best talent;
• Upskilling people to keep up with the rate of technology change; and
• Helping colleagues map out their careers in an unstable world.
This raises the question of how HR can partner with the IT team to help people make the most of technology resources, as well as how HR can make better use of technology to achieve its own goals.
