Strategic Shift: Skills-Powered Organizations in the Age of AI
Forty-four percent of workers’ skills will be disrupted by technology in the next five years.*
To thrive through this disruption, businesses must adapt their operating models to perpetually reinvent themselves as demand for skills ebbs and flows with greater velocity and volatility.
The next-generation organization will be at the forefront of this strategic shift toward making skills the currency of work, cultivating a culture of talent sharing, automating work to take mundane tasks off employees’ hands, augmenting human creativity with AI, and reshaping the entire talent life cycle.
Find out how to make the shift to a skills-powered organization

HYBRID, GENERATIVE AI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
MCKINSEY - The state of AI in early 2024: Gen AI adoption spikes and starts to generate value
If 2023 was the year the world discovered generative AI, 2024 is the year organizations truly began using—and deriving business value from—this new technology.
New research from McKinsey highlights that adoption of AI – and GenAI – has surged in the last 12 months, that organisations are reporting measurable benefits, that there is increased mitigation of the risk of inaccuracy, and that there are a small group of high-performers leading the way. From a HR perspective, the study finds: (1) 12% of respondents are regularly using GenAI in HR. (2) Organisations most often see meaningful cost reductions from GenAI use in HR (see FIG 1). (3) HR functions are most often able to put their GenAI capabilities to use within one to four months. (4) Talent is one of six areas of best practice where high-performers are leading with GenAI (see FIG 2). (Authors: Alex Singla Alexander Sukharevsky Lareina Yee and Michael Chui with Bryce Hall)

MARK MORTENSEN AND AMY EDMONDSON - Leaders Need to Reframe the Return-to-Office Conversation
Framing refers to how an issue is presented; it’s the meaning layered onto an issue or situation that shapes how people think about its objective facts. More precisely, it’s about re-framing: deliberately replacing taken-for-granted cognitive frames with more helpful ones.
Mark Mortensen and Amy Edmondson discuss the concept of ‘framing’ and its role for leaders in engaging in dialogue with employees about the balance between in-person and flexible working. They offer a three-step process to communicate flexible work policies: (1) Acknowledge the bind and be patient. (2) Focus on mutual value, not just organisational benefits. (3) Approach the process as data-driven, co-created, iterative learning. For more on this topic, listen to Mark in conversation with me on the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How to Foster Collaboration Within Hybrid Working Teams.
RASHLEEN ARORA - Design a Return-to-Office Strategy That Balances Organizational and Employee Needs
It’s becoming increasingly evident that rigid return-to-office (RTO) mandates can backfire by antagonising employees and impacting retention. Rashleen Kaur Arora presents Gartner research that outlines how HR leaders can craft a RTO strategy that balances organisational objectives with employee buy-in. The article includes a powerful case study on how Scotiabank implemented an evidence-based hybrid RTO model (see FIG 3).

PIETRO MAZZOLENI - Generative AI in HR: making smart choices depending on your data maturity | GREG NEWMAN - What's the employee journey of an AI chatbot? | MARTIJN WIERTZ - How will we use GenAI to redefine our Work Design: Creating Great Places to Be | MAX BLUMBERG - Saving your People Analytics Career in the Face of AI | SCOTT LATHAM AND BETH HUMBERD - Four Ways Jobs Will Respond to Automation
Organizations which provide an environment where the needs of the workforce are aligned with the outlines of the future will have the competitive advantage.
June saw a plethora of insightful reads about the impact of AI on HR and people analytics, so I’ve gathered five together here along with a prescient piece from 2018 on the professions most susceptible to automation. (1) Pietro Mazzoleni examines the importance of data maturity when it comes to the successful adoption of GenAI solutions in HR. (2) Greg Newman outlines why using the language of the employee journey will help your organisation maximise the value you gain from digital workers. (3) Martijn Wiertz presents a compelling vision where GenAI helps redefine our work design, creating time we can utilise for doing the work, care and training we need as a community – from great places to work to great places to be (see FIG 4). (4) Max Blumberg (JA) ?? explores how people analytics roles may evolve in the age of AI, the skills needed to remain relevant, and the importance of transparency in these issues within the people analytics community. (5) Finally, and thanks to Hung Lee for featuring it in a recent edition of Recruiting Brainfood, let’s revisit an article by Scott Latham and Beth Humberd that outlines four ways in which jobs will respond to automation based on two factors: the type of value provided and how it’s delivered (see FIG 5).

PEOPLE ANALYTICS
MAYA BODAN, DON MILLER, SUE CANTRELL, GARY PARILLIS, AND CARISSA KILGOUR - Harnessing organization network analysis (ONA): Measure workforce performance and optimize strategies
ONA reveals insights absent in traditional organizational charts—such as how people collaborate, who influences decision-making and/or operates in silos, and sentiments surrounding trust and influence.
A helpful primer on how to use Organisational Network Analysis (ONA) from the Deloitte team of Maya Bodan Don Miller Susan Cantrell Gary Parilis and Carissa Kilgour. Their article discusses the myriad of use cases ONA can be used for, including to: (1) Measure workforce performance, (2) Understand individual workforce performance, and (3) Optimise workplace strategies.

If you’re not practising evidence-based HR, what type of HR are you practising?
In recent editions of the Data Driven HR Monthly, I’ve featured a collection of articles by people analytics leaders. These act as a spur and inspiration to the field. Seven are highlighted here. (1) David Hodges takes inspiration from Rob Briner’s research to make the case for evidence-based HR. As Dave asks: “If you’re not practising evidence-based HR, what type of HR are you practising?” (see FIG 7). (2) Henrik Håkansson applies the popular concept of “fear of missing out” to people analytics in his astute article. (3) Amit Mohindra provides a handy explanation of the ‘Rule of 72”, which can be used to extract a key parameter from a growth rate. (4) Louise Baird breaks down the two different types of machine learning – supervised and unsupervised – and how it can be applied to people analytics. (5) Martha Curioni provides examples of building explainable AI into a range of HR processes including: hiring, predicting attrition, and assessing promotion readiness. (6) Based on their survey of people analytics practitioners, Nick Jesteadt and Erin Fleming highlight three common yet seemingly elusive themes in the field: productivity, skills and productisation. (7) Christopher Rosett breaks down the People Analytics Cube (see FIG 8) in his LinkedIn post with a nod to Alexis Fink.

WILLIS JENSEN - Finding a People Analytics Job
One of the features of the people analytics field is that it is pretty fluid with many that work within it moving roles in the last 12-18 months – as evidenced by the invaluable People Analytics Job Board that Richard Rosenow oversees. In his article, Willis Jensen shares insights from his recent transition to a new role including: (1) Being very clear about what you want in your next job. (2) Don’t write an AI-generated cover letter. (3) Use a resume tool to help you tailor your resume for each job. (4) Do not use a shotgun approach of applying for hundreds of jobs. (5) Use LinkedIn as a job-hunting tool. For more on people analytics careers, listen to Serena H. Huang, Ph.D. in discussion with me on the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How to Enhance Your Career in People Analytics.

THE EVOLUTION OF HR, LEARNING, AND DATA DRIVEN CULTURE
JOSH BERSIN - The Ever Expanding Role Of The Chief HR Officer (CHRO)
The CHRO must transform the HR team, moving from the “service delivery” model to an HR team of consultants, problem-solvers, and analysts.
Josh Bersin lays out a compelling case for the CHRO being the most important role of all in the c-suite now. He highlights factors such as the abundance of people challenges, labour shortages, organisation redesign, and globalisation. Josh also introduces his initial findings from a study of 47,000 CHROs: (1) There is a major increase in the C-level importance of the CHRO. (2) The CHRO job is multi-disciplinary, and more difficult than it looks. (3) The CHRO role is expanding. (4) Strong CHROs are now transforming the HR function. (5) The HR function is not developing itself - 80% of high-performing CHROs are external hires.

JEANNE MEISTER – 13 HR jobs of the future
In HR, this is our Promethean moment as we navigate a complex future, one with limitless possibilities in how we work, where we work, who we work with and what we expect in our workplace.
Based on her conversations with HR leaders, Jeanne C M. presents 13 HR jobs of the future, which will emerge between now and 2030 (see FIG 13). Jeanne then explains how each of these roles “embody five core workplace themes enabling leaders to embrace reinvention as a strategy where humans and machines collaborate to deliver in which to the organization.” The five themes are: (1) Building GenAI literacy, (2) Working from anywhere, (3) Building human-machine partnerships, (4) Driving innovation and wellbeing in the workplace, (5) Creating a personalised employee experience.

NAOMI VERGHESE - Investing in the Right Approach to Upskilling HR
When the CHRO and HRLT role-model the use of people data and analytics in their day-to-day job, then other HR professionals also use people data and analytics in their work.
Naomi Verghese shares the key findings from research she led at Insight222 to identify the key skills HR professionals need to consult and communicate effectively with data. The study, Upskilling the HR Profession: Building Data Literacy at Scale, identified five essential skills for HR professionals: (1) Consulting, (2) Influencing Stakeholders, (3) Data Interpretation, (4) Building Recommendations from Insights, (5) Storytelling. The study also identified the importance of role-modelling by the CHRO and HR leadership team with regards to data literacy (see FIG 14, and above quote).

WORKFORCE PLANNING, ORG DESIGN, AND SKILLS-BASED ORGANISATIONS
MIT SMR CONNECTIONS AND MERCER - Strategic Shift: Skills-Powered Organizations in the Age of AI
By making skills the backbone of their talent practices, organizations can better allocate people to projects, help employees explore different career paths, and gain the flexibility to allocate their capital more effectively as their needs change.
In their collaborative study, MIT and Mercer break down why skills should be a priority in rethinking work and people management in the age of AI. The report highlights the benefits for employees and employers of a skills-based approach (see FIG 15), provides practical guidance on how to overcome challenges, and provides powerful learnings from Standard Chartered’s skills journey. Features contributions from experts including Peter Cappelli Tanuj Kapilashrami Ravin Jesuthasan, CFA, FRSA Brad Bell Joseph Fuller Tom Kochan and Audrey Mickahail.

EMPLOYEE LISTENING, EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, AND EMPLOYEE WELLBEING
DAWN KLINGHOFFER, KAREN KOCHER, AND NATALIE LUNA - Onboarding New Employees in a Hybrid Workplace
New hires who are provided with clarity about their role responsibilities, feedback on how they are doing, and resources to help them answer questions are three to four times more likely to contribute to their team’s success during the first 90 days.
Now we are in the era of hybrid work, what’s the ideal way to onboard new employees today? That was one question that the people analytics team at Microsoft sought to answer in a recent study, along with: How can we ensure that new hires thrive while also supporting flexibility? The findings confirmed that onboarding to a new role, team, or company is a key moment for building connections with the new manager and team and doing so a few days in person provides unique benefits. But just requiring newcomers to be onsite full time doesn’t guarantee success. In their article, Dawn Klinghoffer Karen Kocher and Natalie Luna explain and provide examples of how onboarding that truly helps new employees thrive in the modern workplace is less about face time and more about intention, structure, and resources. For example, the study found that the top factors that make the most difference in onboarding new employees are clarity about role responsibilities, feedback on how they are doing, and resources to help them answer questions. New hires who are successfully set up with these three elements are three to four times more likely to contribute to their team’s success during the first 90 days. For more on Microsoft’s approach to employee thriving, which they define as: being energized and empowered to do meaningful work, listen to Dawn in conversation with me on the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How Microsoft Created A Thriving Workforce By Going Beyond Employee Engagement.
LEADERSHIP, CULTURE, AND LEARNING
DAVE ULRICH - Reflections on Performance Management: How to Make Meaningful Progress
In May’s Data Driven HR Monthly, I featured a McKinsey article on a performance management system that puts people first. In his recent article, Dave Ulrich cites a number of sources highlighting that pretty much all stakeholders (including employees, executives and HR leaders) are unhappy with their performance management systems. Ulrich lays out a four-step process for performance management (see FIG 17) comprising: (1) Clarifying expectations with meaningful goals. (2) Measuring and tracking performance. (3) Allocating financial and non-financial rewards. (4) Having positive coaching conversations. Dave then highlights the recently launched Manifesto for Flourishing at Work, a collaboration of practitioners, consultants, and academics to reinvent performance management. He highlights three critical topics from the manifesto:
First, align performance and purpose by making sure that performance encourages progress towards a company’s purpose that includes all stakeholders. Second, manage the complex system of performance by focusing both on individuals within the system and also the system itself. Third, ensure that leaders are secure enough in themselves to use their power to empower others and to allow employees to contribute to their own improvement.
FIG 17: Performance management process – four steps (Source: Dave Ulrich)
ERIN MEYER - Build a Corporate Culture That Works
If you hire people whose personalities don’t align with your culture, no matter what else you get right, you are unlikely to get the desired behaviors.
Ever since Peter Drucker’s infamous assertion that “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” it has been widely acknowledged that managing corporate culture is the key to business success. Yet the link between ‘values’ and ‘behaviours’ is often stark. As INSEAD professor Erin Meyer asks in her latest Harvard Business Review article: “If culture eats strategy for breakfast, how should you be cooking it?” Erin blends in examples from the likes of Amazon, Netflix, Airbnb, Pixar and others and presents six guidelines to help managers who are confronting the challenges of culture building: (1) Build Your Culture Based on Real-World Dilemmas. (2) Move Your Culture from Abstraction to Action. (3) Paint Your Culture in Full Colour. (4) Hire the Right People, and They Will Build the Right Culture. (5) Make Sure that Culture Drives Strategy. (6) Don’t Be a Purist. An absolute must-read. At Insight222, we’re delighted that Erin Meyer will be speaking at our Global Executive Retreat in Amsterdam in September. The Retreat is exclusively for member companies of the Insight222 People Analytics Program. Click on this link to find out more.
ROB CROSS AND KATHERYN BREKKEN | I4CP - The Team Network Effect™: How Precision Collaboration Unleashes Productivity
A new study of 1,400 organisations on team effectiveness, led by Rob Cross and Katheryn Brekken, Ph.D. for The Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp), finds that 80% of teams fall short of reaching their full productivity potential due to corporate dysfunction. The study identifies six snares that stifle team performance (see FIG 18), and provides powerful examples including from Roche, which found that efforts to increase geographic and cross-functional collaboration across teams in 89 countries reaped a direct revenue impact of $500 million in less than two years.

SHUJAAT AHMAD - From Productivity to Prosperity: The AI Shift Leaders Must Embrace
The jobs most at risk from AI automation are jobs occupied by women and minority racial groups. In his compelling essay, Shujaat Ahmad argues that this calls for a shift from the current focus on a productivity-only AI model (with an emphasises on cutting costs at the expense of worker well-being and creativity) to a prosperity-first AI model, championing AI's potential to improve human life, promote fairness, and ensure sustainable progress alongside economic growth. Shujaat then breaks down the differences between the two models in four scenarios: software development, product management, go-to market, and recruitment (see FIG 19), as well as outlining three steps for leaders seeking to build a prosperity-first AI strategy: (1) Adopt a Prosperity-First True North and Accountability Measures for AI Adoption. (2) Put Employees in the Pilot Seat. (3) Commit to Responsible AI Development; Integrate AI Ethically and Inclusively.

BCG - Women Leaders in Tech Are Paving the Way in GenAI
A recent BCG study finds that that senior women in technical functions are ahead of their male peers in adopting GenAI—but junior women are lagging behind (see FIG 20). The study identifies three key attributes that correlate with gender disparities in GenAI adoption: (1) Awareness of GenAI’s criticality to job success. (2) Confidence in GenAI skills. (3) Risk tolerance for using GenAI prior to having a company policy. The authors (Maria Barisano Neveen Awad Adriana Dahik Julie Bedard Uche M. Gunjan Mundhra and Katherine Lou) conclude that if the number of senior and junior women with GenAI skills increases, then it’s likely that women’s representation in tech leadership will grow, and call for highly targeted upskilling programs, leadership advocacy and change management.

RESEARCH REPORT OF THE MONTH
NICHOLAS BLOOM, RUOBING HAN, AND JAMES LIANG - Hybrid working from home improves retention without damaging performance
There are a lot of opinions about the impact of hybrid work and some executives argue that it damages productivity, innovation and career development. But what does the data say? In their study, Nick Bloom Ruobing Han and James Liang find that hybrid working improved job satisfaction and reduced quit rates by one-third. The reduction in quit rates was significant for non-managers, female employees and those with long commutes (see FIG 24). For more from on this topic, listen to Nick Bloom in conversation with me on the Digital HR Leaders podcast: Unmasking Common Myths Around Remote Work.

The best HR & People Analytics articles of May 2024
I’m writing the introduction to the May edition of the Data Driven HR Monthly on a flight to London from Mexico City. Together with Jonathan Ferrar, I was in Mexico to conduct an Insight222 workshop with the HR Leadership Team of one of the world’s largest global consumer goods companies. The workshop was composed of a number of modules including: consulting with data, prioritisation and data governance. It was the culmination of a month of notable milestones both within Insight222 and the external market:
The Digital HR Leaders podcast celebrated its fifth birthday (see here).
The fifth edition of the Insight222 People Analytics Trends study was launched (see below for details).
We also opened registration for an Insight222 webinar on AI in HR and People Analytics, which will take place on June 13 (see below for details).
In the HR Tech space, Crunchr and TechWolf announced a strategic partnership (see here), and Cornerstone OnDemand acquired SkyHive (read analysis from Alexandra Nawrat here).

The Journey to the Skills-Based Organization
Transform your HR strategy with skill-based insights
Advancements in technology and evolving market demands are reshaping the skills landscape, making the transition to skill-based essential for organisations to remain competitive.

Wondering where to start? Our guide, "Getting Started with Skills," is designed for HR leaders on this journey, covering three actionable steps:
Reasons for adopting a skill-based approach.
Challenges in becoming an SBO.
Practical steps to integrate skills into your strategy.
This journey is about setting a new direction for your organisation, one that is agile, resilient, and ready for the future.

HYBRID, GENERATIVE AI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
MICROSOFT AND LINKEDIN - AI at Work Is Here. Now Comes the Hard Part
We’ve come to the hard part of any tech disruption: moving past experimentation to business transformation. Just as we saw with the advent of the internet or the PC, business transformation comes with broad adoption. Organizations that apply AI to drive growth, manage costs, and deliver greater value to customers will pull ahead.
Microsoft’s 4th annual Work Trend Index, in partnership with LinkedIn provides a comprehensive view of how AI is not only reshaping work, but the labour market more broadly. Three key findings are described in depth: (1) Employees want AI at work—and they won’t wait for companies to catch up. (2) For employees, AI raises the bar and breaks the career ceiling. (3) The rise of the AI power user—and what they reveal about the future. The report contains a series of powerful insights, visualisations, and analysis – such as the impact of AI skills on hiring (see FIG 1). I also recommend watching Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, CEO of SHRM, talking to Kathleen Hogan and Jared Spataro about the integration of AI in enhancing work at Microsoft, insights on AI adoption strategies, and addressing the balance between AI opportunities and workforce implications.

ANSHUL SHEOPURI AND LUCRECIA BORGONOVO - At the inflection of AI and HR: How Mastercard is equipping employees for the AI era
We recognize the best way to build trust is to bring our employees along with us on our AI journey, ensuring they are made aware of and educated about our commitment to responsible and ethical AI — in addition to the benefits that AI can bring to their day-to-day experiences and overall career path.
Anshul Sheopuri and Lucrecia Borgonovo share five areas where Mastercard is using AI to improve the way their employees work, grow and manage their careers: (1) AI as career coach. (2) AI as wellbeing guide. (3) AI as workflow assistant. (4) AI as co-pilot. (5) AI as workforce planning partner. For more insights, particularly with regards to how Mastercard is using AI in Unlocked, its internal talent marketplace, I recommend watching the recording of the CHRO Panel at the recent Gloat Live event in New York, where I moderated a panel featuring Michael Fraccaro, Mastercard’s chief people officer, as well as Tanuj Kapilashrami and Tamla Oates-Forney.
MCKINSEY - A new future of work: The race to deploy AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond
Up to 30 percent of hours worked could be automated by 2030, boosted by gen AI, leading to millions of required occupational transitions
An insightful McKinsey study, which explores labour markets in ten European countries and the United States, in the years to 2030 given factors including labour shortages, productivity challenges, and the inexorable rise of technology. The report identifies four key priorities for companies: (1) Understand the potential: Leaders need to understand the potential of how AI and gen AI can augment and automate work. (2) Plan a strategic workforce shift: Once they understand the potential of automation technologies, leaders need to plan the shift toward readiness for the automation and AI era. (3) Prioritise people development: To ensure that the right talent is on hand, leaders could consider strengthening their capabilities to identify, attract, and recruit future AI and gen AI leaders in a tight market. (4) Pursue the executive-education journey on automation technologies: Leaders also need to undertake their own education journey on automation technologies to maximise their contributions during the coming transformation.

JEREMIE BRECHEISEN - What Companies Don’t Know About How Workers Use AI
Managers influence 70% of team engagement and they can ensure that your AI strategy supports the organization’s goals and expectations in terms of innovation, agility, and productivity.
Jeremie K Brecheisen presents Gallup research, which finds that leaders do not fully understand their employees’ use of, and readiness for, AI. The study finds that seven in 10 employees never use AI in their job, with only one in 10 saying they use AI on a weekly basis or more often. Brecheisen offers three recommendations for leaders to find the right balance of control and trust around AI, including measuring how their employees currently use AI, cultivating trust by empowering managers, and adopting a purpose-led AI strategy that is driven by the company’s purpose instead of a rules-heavy strategy that is driven by fear.

HEIDI GRANT, GINNIE CARLIER, AND FRANK GIAMPIETRO - Using Data to Design Your Hybrid Work Policies | JOSE MARIA BARRERO, NICHOLAS BLOOM, SHELBY BUCKMAN, AND STEVEN J. DAVIS - Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes (SWAA) (May 2024)
In their article for Harvard Business Review, Heidi Grant, Ginnie Carlier, and Frank Giampietro outline how EY has taken a data-driven approach to questions around hybrid work. Their data comparing the performance and well-being of hybrid employees with their fully in-person and remote counterparts has yielded often surprising insights. For example, EY found that hybrid employees who spent 40% to 60% of their time in person experienced higher well-being, belonging, skills development, and engagement when compared to fully remote or in-person employees. The article also provides guidance on how enabling teams to co-create and commit to ways of working drives work-life balance and wellbeing. Read alongside the May 2024 update of the WFH Research report by Jose Maria Barrero, Nick Bloom, Shelby Buckman, and Steven J. Davis, which amongst its many highlights, finds that 66% of workers use an office at least once a month (see FIG 4).

PEOPLE ANALYTICS
PIETRO MAZZOLENI - Blueprint for Balance: IBM’s Guide to Managing and Protecting People Data
In another edition of what it proving to be consistently one of the best newsletters of 2024 – People Data Platform – Pietro Mazzoleni shares the three core principles of how IBM manages and protects people data (see FIG 5). He explains how his team effectively secures data, strikes a balance between protection and accessibility, and establishes clear ownership of every piece of data.

MCKINSEY - Master data management: The key to getting more from your data
Master data management can give organizations a leg up by allowing them to easily organize and access data about customers, suppliers, products, and employees.
An essential read for HR and people analytics professionals looking to bring their people and other organisational data together to drive value for the company, customers and employees. The article by Aziz Shaikh Holger Harreis Jorge Machado and Kayvaun Rowshankish, provides findings from a McKinsey study on how large companies organise, use, and mature their master data management (MDM). It includes examples of how MDM creates value in five ways (e.g. how MDM standardises data across entities to provide a unified view across various systems), common challenges (e.g. poor data quality – see FIG 6), and guidance on how to implement MDM effectively (e.g. establishing a robust data governance model to maintain integrity and reliability of MDM capabilities).

In recent editions of the Data Driven HR Monthly, I’ve featured a collection of articles by current and recent people analytics leaders. Six are highlighted here. (1) In an interview with Annett Zippel of KennedyFitch, Patrick Coolen shares insights on the components of a successful people analytics practice, how to get started, and the skills to look for and build in a people analytics leader. (2) Martha Curioni outlines a five-step methodology to undertake a people analytics project, with the first step perhaps being the most important: Define the Problem Statement. (3) Serena H. Huang, Ph.D. provides guidance on how AI and data can help create effective wellbeing and DEI strategies that resonate with Gen Z. (4) Rory O'Gallagher breaks down the what, why, and how of generative employee listening tools, including how they differ from traditional surveys, how to integrate them into your employee listening ecosystem, and how they will evolve. (5) Willis Jensen sets out the challenges of establishing causation in people analytics and provides guidance on how to get past these challenges such as identifying actionable variables (see FIG 7). (6). Louise Baird, Head of People Analytics at Marks & Spencer, offers practical steps on how to drive manager effectiveness through people analytics.

THE EVOLUTION OF HR, LEARNING, AND DATA DRIVEN CULTURE
NORM SMALLWOOD AND DAVE ULRICH - HR Transformation: Common Pitfalls and Tried and True Tips
Not developing the HR professionals to do strategic work is the #1 reason HR Transformation fails
Norm Smallwood, Dave Ulrich and The RBL Group outline four common HR Transformation pitfalls and tips to overcome each: (1) HR transformation is about transforming the entire HR Department to create value for the business. (2) It requires an understanding of the work that creates value for the business and then designing the organisation and building HR leaders and professionals to enable it (see FIG 8). (3) Invest in providing HR professionals with frameworks, tools, and shared language to do strategic work – “For impact on the business, HR must invest in itself.” (4) Capabilities are the link between business strategy and HR actions.
FIG 8: Source – The RBL Group
ZAC UPCHURCH | TALENT STRATEGY GROUP – CHRO Trends 2024: Insights from the Fortune 200 Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief People Officer Changes
Zac Upchurch presents the key findings from the seventh annual edition of The Talent Strategy Group’s CHRO Trends report. Three of the ten trends are: (1) A Decline In CHRO/CPO Appointments - 2023 had the fewest Fortune 200 CHROs/CPOs appointments since the report’s inception, with 22 new CHROs/CPOs appointed in 2023. (2) The Rapid Increase in Internal Succession - 73% of 2023 appointed CHROs/CPOs came to the role via internal succession, a rate not seen since 2017. (3) The HRBP as the CHRO/CPO Stepping Stone - The vast majority of the 2023 CHRO/CPO appointments consisted of individuals that served in a HRBP role prior to their CHRO/CPO appointment.

WORKFORCE PLANNING, ORG DESIGN, AND SKILLS-BASED ORGANISATIONS
AMANDA EVANS - Applying People Analytics To Organizational Design
Amanda Jane Evans draws on recent collaborative research by Andrea Derler, Ph.D. of Visier Inc. and Amy C. Lewis, PhD to demonstrate how people analytics can inform actions on team size that drive business performance. The research highlighted that smaller teams—specifically those with six to 10 members—tend to harbour more high performers and have lower resignation rates (see FIG 12). In her article, Amanda explains that people analytics revealed that smaller teams at Partners Group are more likely to be successful in scenarios with direct client contact where high expectations for performance and stakeholder management are set. Amanda also explains how the firm proactively uses people analytics to analyse span of control during business transformation.

EMPLOYEE LISTENING, EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, AND EMPLOYEE WELLBEING
MCKINSEY - To defend against disruption, build a thriving workforce
To build a thriving workplace, leaders must reimagine work, the workplace, and the worker.
Generative AI provides organisations – and HR professionals – with the opportunity to reimagine work, the workplace and the worker. In their article, the McKinsey team of Jacqui Brassey, PhD, MA, MAfN (née Schouten), Aaron De Smet, Emily Field, Taylor Lauricella, and Brooke Weddle, break down what a ‘thriving culture’ is (and what it isn’t) and offer five actions companies can adopt to maximise healthy work environments, team effectiveness, and employee well-being so that more workers can reach their peak performance.
FIG 13: Employee segments as a share of an organisation’s workforce (Source: McKinsey)
DAWN KLINGHOFFER - The Key to a Thriving Workforce? A Smart Approach to AI
What we find is that AI is really there to help you take friction and toil out of the system, and to remove the drudgery of work. And when people are able to remove some of that drudgery, we see that they’re more productive, and they thrive more.
Dawn Klinghoffer, Global Head of People Analytics at Microsoft, shares insights from the company’s recent Employee Signals survey. The findings not only highlighted the tangible benefits of thriving, but also identified a key catalyst for fostering it: access to AI. The article then highlights how thriving – and access to AI – has a positive impact on three indicators of high performance: (1) Meaningfulness (incorporating AI into the day correlated to a 20% jump in scores relating to meaningful work). (2) Empowerment. (3) Energy (scores on energy-related questions for those using AI jumped almost 27%). Dawn also shares the ABCs of thriving with AI: Accelerate alignment, Be inclusive, and Cultivate collective growth. This is another example of how Microsoft’s comprehensive approach to employee listening (see FIG 14) – coupled with the sponsorship of the CEO, Satya Nadella, leads to insights that drive positive outcomes for the business and the workforce. For more on Microsoft’s approach to employee thriving, listen to Dawn in conversation with me on the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How Microsoft Created A Thriving Workforce By Going Beyond Employee Engagement.
FIG 14: Microsoft’s Employee Listening Ecosystem (Source: Dawn Klinghoffer)
EMILY PELOSI AND PAIGE MCGLAUFLIN - Intuit’s ‘head of employee listening’ talks about the science of worker feedback—and the art of asking the right questions
In an interview with Fortune, Emily Pelosi, PhD, Head of Employee Listening at Intuit, discusses why her role was created, what it involves, and how she helps Intuit’s leaders harness employee feedback to make better and more informed decisions based on data. Two areas that really resonate, are (1) how Emily partners closely with Intuit’s CEO and chief people officer to shape their bi-annual survey and take action on the results. (2) the importance of asking the right questions.
BENJAMIN LAKER AND STEFANIA MARIANO - The Unexpected Upsides of Letting Employees Define Their Jobs | JACKSON ROATCH - The Work-GPT Paradox, AI and Job Crafting
Job crafting creates an environment of autonomy, encouraging employees to take initiative and innovate.
Three resources about ‘job crafting’, which in the article by Benjamin Laker and Stefania Mariano is described as: “Job crafting is a proactive approach where employees reshape their roles to infuse more meaning and engagement into their work.” Their article describes the three primary components – task crafting, relational crafting, and cognitive crafting – and discusses the benefits, challenges and considerations for implementing job crafting successfully. In the second article, Jackson Roatch explains how using AI more can enable employees to use job crafting to make their jobs 5-10% better. He cites research by Amy Wrzesniewski, as well as the work of Ravin Jesuthasan, CFA, FRSA and John Boudreau in deconstructing jobs, to provide an example of how AI can shape the role of a data analyst (see FIG 15). Finally, for more on job crafting, I recommend listening to Dan Cable in discussion with me on the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How to Help People Love What They Do At Work.

LEADERSHIP, CULTURE, AND INCLUSION
ALLAN H. CHURCH, JAMES SCRIVANI, AND MARKUS GRAF - Unleashing The Power of Assessments for Leaders and their Organizations
Based on their experience of working with assessment tools in organisations such as PepsiCo and Novartis, Allan Church, Ph.D. Jim S. and Markus Graf present a three-step guide to building an effective, impactful and meaningful assessment system: (1) Focus Assessments on Future Capabilities Needed for Your Organisation. (2) Take a Multi-Trait, Multi-Method Approach to Assessment, aka Use Multiple Lenses. (3) Unlock the Value of Assessment Insights for Leaders, Teams, and the Organisation (see FIG 16).
FIG 16: The Three Levels of Assessment Insights (Source: Church et al)
MCKINSEY - In the spotlight: Performance management that puts people first
Companies that focus on their people’s performance are 4.2 times more likely to outperform their peers, realizing an average 30 percent higher revenue growth and experiencing attrition five percentage points lower.
While effective performance management systems support employees to develop, new research by McKinsey finds that most companies fall short of best practices. In their article, Amaia Noguera Andrea Pedroni Asmus Komm and Simon Gallot Lavallée provide insights on how leading companies approach performance management across four elements - goal setting, performance reviews, ongoing development, and rewards (see FIG 17). The article also digs into five enabling factors: (1) Ensure that performance management systems are agile. (2) Provide regular feedback. (3) Establish an effective fact base. (4) Maintain rating and differentiation. (5) Employ gen AI.
FIG 17: Designing a performance management system (Source: McKinsey)
CATHERINE COPPINGER - Manager Effectiveness: 5 Metrics That Matter More than eSat Scores
Catherine Coppinger presents findings from Worklytics research on manager effectiveness, which highlights the top drivers of low and high manager satisfaction (see FIG 18). The article also recommends metrics for measuring manager effectiveness, which are based on five things top-performing managers tend to do: (1) Provide regular coaching. (2) Define and implement reasonable team norms. (3) Support their team (without micromanaging). (4) Elevate and unblock their team via network connections. (5) Routinely engage with team members in-person. For more insights on this topic, listen to Catherine on a recent episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast: How to Use Passive Data to Enhance Manager Effectiveness. I also recommend checking out the deck Philip Arkcoll and Michael Arena presented recently at Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP): The ONA Hype Cycle: Why this Time is Different.

Much of the innovation in the field is driven by the vendor community. I’ve picked out a few resources from May that I recommend readers delve into:
ARCTIC SHORES - The pragmatist’s playbook for skills-based hiring – An indispensable guide to skills-based hiring from Robert Newry and the team at Arctic Shores. It features: why companies are shifting from experience to skills-based hiring (see FIG 19) a seven-step framework for skills-based hiring, case studies from Siemens and Molson Coors, and contributions from the likes of Hung Lee, Gemma Aldridge, Joe Sidley, and Yasar Ahmad.

ANDY PRZYSTANSKI - Lattice Data Reveals Lower Engagement, Stretched Managers, and More – Andy Przystanski presents findings from analysis of over one million employees on Lattice’s people platform including (1) Engagement is down - between 2022 and 2023, eNPS decreased from an already low 33.33 to 24.8 (see FIG 20). (2) Manager span of control is increasing. (3) Soft skills are in high demand.

FRANCISCO MARIN - Embracing Generative AI in Organizational Network Analysis: 8 Key Considerations for Success – Francisco Marin of Cognitive Talent Solutions sets out eight key considerations for successfully incorporating GenAI into organisational network analysis including: (1) Define clear objectives, (2) Ensure data quality, and (3) Prioritise privacy and ethics.
KEN OEHLER - Unlocking the Power of Personality – Ken Oehler presents new research from RADICL, which explores the link between personality traits and areas such as hybrid collaboration, trust, employee experience, and productivity. A fascinating read.

FRESIA JACKSON, HEATHER WALKER, AUBREY BLANCHE-SARELLANO - Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 2024 Report – Culture Amp’s Workplace DEI Report is always an insightful read and the 2024 edition is no exception. As Aubrey Blanche-Sarellano writes in the Foreword: “DEI has become both a buzzword and the target of significant backlash.” The report by Fresia Jackson, Heather Rose Walker, PhD and the team provides detail on five key findings including: (1) Perception of DEI in the workplace is falling globally. (2) Intersectionality has a compounding effect. (3) Embedding DEI into existing programs has a bigger impact.
