5 POINTS TO OBSERVE…
The challenges of 2020 made us realize that the world of work can easily turn upside-down. During the Covid-19 crisis, most organizations had the time to experiment with their process workflows using web technology, and people realized that this is not the end of the World of Work. On the contrary, it was an end to further improve it!
2021 will find people and organizations working hard to explore those new opportunities and rewrite their work manuals from scratch!
1. Organizational Design with an open eye to the future
“How can we design an efficient organization that the customers and market conditions expect?” This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions managers asked their HR department. But the question we should be asking is “What do we mean by agility, and how can we become more agile ourselves?”
2. Culture and Change: Back to basics with a creative mind
“When everything changes around you, in an unknown world, Values and Discipline can guide you” was what a seasoned Manager told his team. On the other hand, creativity and innovation are weapons you can use in such circumstances. The culture that allows those 2 forces to act in parallel is key.
3. Leadership with new style
Constant change and speed in the business complex transformation processes require leaders who are comfortable with rapid change and can reproduce this feeling of comfort to the entire organization. A good understanding of how the global economy functions is important, as well as soft skills, to understand and further develop people. Organizations have to review their Leadership Models to reproduce leadership thinking.
4. Wellbeing “at the center”
“To be productive and engaged you need to be satisfied with your work”. As the new hybrid model becomes gradually established with a great percentage of remote working employees across timezones, wellbeing is at the center of any Employer branding strategy. Designing the work with wellbeing is at the center.
5. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Thanks to all the battles fought by the pressure groups (minorities and allies) in the field of social justice and business ethics, the moment is right for companies who are bold enough to mix people and ideas for the good of the customer, society and humanity. A blend of thoughts, genders, ages, nationalities can bring a holistic approach and well-rounded solution to its stakeholders.
