    沃尔玛放弃多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)的措施并停止在官方文件使用DEI一词 Walmart宣布放弃多项多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)措施,引发广泛关注。将不再在供应商选择中优先考虑种族和性别因素,停止收集人口统计数据用于融资评估,并暂停员工种族公平培训及参与LGBTQ相关活动。Walmart还决定停止在官方文件中使用“DEI”一词,而是转向“归属感”主题。 在过去的几年中,Walmart曾致力于多样性发展,通过与历史悠久的黑人学院合作、实施多样化招聘政策,以及支持多元化供应商计划,促进小企业发展。2024年,该公司报告显示,超过50%的美国员工为少数族裔,女性占新雇员工的49%。然而,最高法院2023年的反平权裁决,让许多企业重新审视DEI政策。Walmart的这一改变或将影响其员工保留率和客户忠诚度。   全球最大零售商沃尔玛宣布,由于受到保守派活动人士的压力,将取消多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)相关的多项举措。沃尔玛加入了一批正在缩减此类项目的公司行列,这些项目近年来频繁成为保守派目标。 根据宣布,公司将不再在供应商合同授予过程中考虑种族和性别多样性因素,也将停止在评估融资资格时收集人口统计数据。此外,沃尔玛确认,它将在官方沟通中停止使用“DEI”一词,同时减少员工的种族平等培训,停止参与由LGBTQ倡导组织“人权运动”(Human Rights Campaign)组织的重要排名,并重新审查其对Pride和其他活动的支持。 压力与公开调整 这些变动是在反DEI活动人士罗比·斯塔巴克(Robby Starbuck)发布一段社交媒体视频之后公开的。斯塔巴克在视频中表示,他在黑色星期五到来之前曾威胁沃尔玛,如果不取消对LGBTQ相关事业和其他DEI倡议的支持,他将发起一场消费者抵制运动。黑色星期五是全年最大的节假日购物活动之一。 受这一消息影响,沃尔玛股价周二上涨2%,今年累计上涨约75%。然而,这一政策转向可能会对该零售巨头吸引和留住人才的能力构成威胁。沃尔玛在全球范围内拥有210万名员工,其中美国的160万员工中,有超过一半是少数族裔和女性。此外,公司还为成千上万的退伍军人和军人配偶提供就业机会。沃尔玛还在其网站上表示,曾在供应链多样化上投入数十亿美元,以帮助其产品组合实现多样性并增强竞争力。 沃尔玛此前在其网站上表示:“许多研究表明,多样化和包容性的企业往往比同行表现更好,因为它们能够吸引并留住人才,激发创新,并更好地反映客户和社区的复杂特性。” 目前尚不清楚沃尔玛是否会保留某些多样性计划。总部位于阿肯色州本顿维尔的沃尔玛发言人表示,这些决定来自于“希望培养一种归属感,向所有员工、客户和供应商敞开机会之门的愿望”。 法律挑战与广泛效应 这一调整引发了更广泛的讨论,因为沃尔玛加入了约10家企业的行列,这些企业最近几个月内纷纷减少了对DEI的承诺,其中包括迪尔公司(Deere & Co.)和波音公司(Boeing Co.)。这一趋势反映了在2023年美国最高法院裁定大学录取中禁止平权行动后,企业对DEI政策合法性的担忧。 沃尔玛发言人表示,自最高法院裁决以来,公司已开始重新审视各种政策和实践,并强调周一宣布的这些变动已经酝酿数月之久。 这一裁决也鼓励了一批反DEI活动人士,他们认为,在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普的领导下,这种反对力量会进一步加强。 特朗普的顾问团队中包括了几位DEI政策的公开批评者,其中包括埃隆·马斯克。马斯克经常在社交媒体上转发斯塔巴克的攻击言论,并在周一对沃尔玛的决定评论称“太好了!” 特朗普提名的国土安全顾问及白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒(Stephen Miller)曾起诉公司针对DEI项目,指控这些项目歧视白人男性。他还提起了联邦投诉,声称这些举措违法。上周,共和党议员南希·梅斯(Nancy Mace)提交了一项决议,要求禁止国会首位跨性别议员使用国会大厦的女性卫生间。 未来挑战与DEI历史 即使在2020年George Floyd被一名白人警察杀害之前,沃尔玛就已经开始与种族公平研究所(Racial Equity Institute)合作,提供有关美国种族和种族不平等历史的培训。最近,公司还实施了新的多样性招聘准则,为美国员工提供了种族与包容课程,并与历史悠久的黑人学院和西语裔服务机构建立了联系。 截至2024年1月的财政年度,沃尔玛表示,其美国业务从2400多家多样化供应商采购了超过130亿美元的商品和服务。这些供应商被定义为至少51%由种族和少数族裔、女性、退伍军人、LGBTQ+群体成员或残疾人士拥有、管理和控制。 沃尔玛美国首席执行官约翰·福纳(John Furner)周二在“CBS早间新闻”节目中表示,公司将继续举办“开放申请”活动,让创业者有机会向沃尔玛推销他们的产品。他未提及种族、性别或其他多样性指标。   来源:彭博社,2024年11月27日

    今天是选举日:HR机构领导者认为未来经济形势会更加光明 今天是选举日,有人正在权衡此次投票对美国经济可能带来的影响。 据《巴伦周刊》报道,Adecco集团的首席执行官Denis Machuel向法新社表示,无论谁获胜,选举结束后美国的招聘活动预计都会恢复。 “企业不喜欢不确定性:它们希望了解未来会发生什么。而这种不确定性并未真正有利于美国市场,”据《巴伦周刊》报道,“一旦选举结束,无论谁赢得选举,我们的经济将会比之前获得更多的推动力。” 10月22日的Robert Half财报电话会议也提到了选举及其不确定性。 “在通货膨胀较低和广泛预期进一步降息的背景下,NFIB的小企业乐观指数在过去六个月中有五个月呈上升趋势,”该公司总裁兼首席执行官M. Keith Waddell在电话会议中说道。“尽管如此,NFIB的不确定性指数却达到历史新高,部分原因是即将到来的美国选举。许多经济学家正在上调他们的预测,随着选举的结束,总体宏观环境应该会有所改善。” 供应管理协会(ISM)在其服务业ISM报告中也提到了选举,并指出“与上月相比,关于政治不确定性的担忧再次增加。” 总体而言,ISM指出其服务业PMI指数上升至56%,这是自2022年7月以来的最高水平,显示出美国服务业的加速扩张。然而,该报告基于全美采购和供应管理人员的数据,许多人提到选举对行业的影响。 “一些客户在我们的技术业务线和能源相关项目中着眼于未来——选举后将启动下一阶段项目,”一位采购和供应管理人员表示。 另一位ISM的受访者指出,由于资金在选举后才会释放,新订单略有下降。 而不仅是总统选举在影响着行业。几个州也在进行最低工资标准的投票,马萨诸塞州的选民则在投票是否为Uber等公司独立司机提供加入工会的途径,路透社报道。 在加州,选民将决定32号州提案是否通过,这项提案将把该州的最低工资标准在2026年提高到每小时18美元。该州已经要求快餐店员工的最低工资为每小时20美元。   原文作者:Craig Johnson Today is Election Day, and some are weighing in on the possible impact of today’s vote on the US economy. Adecco Group CEO Denis Machuel told AFP that regardless of who wins, hiring in the US should recover post-election, according to a report in Barron’s. “Businesses don’t like uncertainty: They like to know what’s going to happen. And that level of uncertainty hasn’t really helped the US market,” according to the report in Barron’s. “Once this is over, no matter who wins, we’re going to have more tailwinds than we had so far.” The election and uncertainty were also mentioned in Robert Half’s earnings call on Oct. 22. “With lower inflation and widespread expectations of further rate cuts, the NFIB’s Small Business Optimism Index has been up five of the last six months,” President and CEO M. Keith Waddell said in the call. “That said, the NFIB’s Uncertainty Index is at all-time highs, in part due to the upcoming US elections. Many economists are making upward revisions to their forecasts, and as we get past the elections, the overall macro environment should begin to improve.” The Institute for Supply Management also mentioned the election in its Services ISM report, noting that “concerns over political uncertainty were again more prevalent than the previous month.” Overall, the ISM noted its Services PMI rose to a reading of 56% — the highest since July 2022 — indicating faster expansion in the US services sector. However, the report is based on data from purchasing and supply executives across the US, and several comments were made on the election. “Seeing emerging projects in our technology business line as well as in energy-related projects, where many customers are looking forward — post-election — to release their next phases,” one purchasing and supply executive said. Another ISM comment noted that new orders were slightly lower because of funds being held back until after the election. And it’s not just the presidential election influencing the industry. Several states are voting on minimum wage rates, and Massachusetts voters are weighing in on whether to provide a path for independent contractor drivers at firms such as Uber to join unions, Reuters reported. In California, voters are deciding on state Proposition 32, which would raise the state’s minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2026. The state already requires fast food workers to be paid $20 per hour.

    薪酬透明度上升趋势:美国劳动市场的最新变化 简述:在最新的Indeed招聘实验室报告中显示,美国工作职位的薪资透明度有所上升,但增速放缓。2024年9月的数据显示,有57.8%的工作职位列表中包含了薪酬信息,而去年同期为52.2%。尤其是在儿童保育和个人护理领域,薪酬透明度较高,而医疗领域则相对较低。在过去一年中,薪酬透明度的增长显著,特别是在夏威夷、华盛顿特区和纽约这样有薪酬透明度法律的地区。 然而,薪酬透明度的增长正在减缓,主要是因为在加利福尼亚和纽约等大州的相关法律已实施超过一年,且劳动市场放缓,减少了雇主利用薪酬信息吸引候选人的迫切性。Indeed的分析还指出,美国和加拿大的许多组织为了达到公平和透明的目标,正在考虑市场基准薪酬范围,尽管传统的薪酬等级仍是最常见的薪酬结构。 调查还发现,超过半数的受访者表示他们实施了关于工作级别、薪酬机会和基本薪酬确定方式的沟通措施。 随着法律的推动和组织的适应,薪酬透明度在每个行业都有所提升,例如药店职位的薪酬透明度从2023年9月的46.5%上升到2024年9月的70.4%。 在当前的职场环境中,薪酬透明度逐渐成为一种趋势,尤其在美国,这种现象更为显著。根据Indeed招聘实验室的最新报告,2024年9月,美国有57.8%的工作职位公布了薪酬信息,而2023年这一比例仅为52.2%。这一变化虽然逐步发生,但在某些行业和地区的变化尤为明显。 1. 行业差异 在众多行业中,儿童保育行业的薪酬透明度最高,有81.7%的职位明确列出了薪资信息。其次是个人护理/家庭健康和安全/公共安全行业,透明度分别为74.5%和74.1%。相比之下,医疗领域的薪酬透明度较低,尤其是医生和外科医生的职位,只有39.1%的职位公开薪酬信息。 2. 地区差异 薪酬透明度的提高不仅在特定行业中表现突出,地区间的差异也相当明显。例如,夏威夷、华盛顿特区和纽约是薪酬透明度增长最快的地区,这些地区近年来纷纷通过了薪酬透明度法律。相反,在南部地区,这种透明度的普及则较低。 3. 法律影响 薪酬透明度的增长在很大程度上得益于相关法律的实施。许多州和都市区已经开始要求雇主在职位发布时必须公开薪酬信息。这些法律的实施显著推动了薪酬透明度的提升,使求职者在申请工作前能更清楚地了解薪酬水平。 4. 市场反应 尽管薪酬透明度正逐步成为标准,但市场对此的反应各异。部分雇主认为这增加了招聘的复杂性,但许多求职者和雇员则对此表示欢迎,认为这有助于确保薪酬公平,减少歧视。 5. 未来展望 薪酬透明度的趋势预计将继续扩大,特别是随着更多地区实施相关法律。此外,随着劳动市场的发展,雇主可能会感受到更大的压力,用更透明的薪酬信息来吸引和保留人才。薪酬透明度不仅能提高招聘的效率,还能促进职场的公平性和正义。 通过这些数据和分析,我们可以看出,薪酬透明度正逐渐成为优化招聘策略和提升职场公平的重要工具。对于HR专业人士而言,理解并运用这一趋势,将有助于他们更有效地管理人才资源,构建更具吸引力和竞争力的工作环境。

    美国2025年HR发展趋势:数字员工与未来工作场景,大选带来的可能影响 2025年,HR领域将面临前所未有的变革,技术、社会、政治因素共同推动着工作场所的迅速转型。随着AI、数字孪生体、智能代理等技术的加速发展,HR从业者必须应对不断变化的工作环境。与此同时,政治变革,如特朗普有可能在大选中回归执政,将带来政策的不确定性,影响劳动力市场和企业的运营。在这一背景下,HR需要更加灵活、创新和前瞻性。以下是2025年HR发展的八大趋势: 1. 数字员工的全面普及 数字员工、数字孪生体和智能代理将在企业中迅速普及,成为HR团队的重要组成部分。通过AI驱动的自动化,HR能够更高效地处理招聘、员工管理、数据分析等任务。比如,数字员工将帮助筛选简历、安排面试、甚至进行员工培训。这不仅能提高HR的工作效率,还将使HR从繁琐的日常事务中解放出来,专注于更具战略意义的任务,如人才保留和文化建设。 2. 远程工作与混合办公的进一步常态化 远程工作在全球大流行后逐渐成为常态,2025年这种模式将进一步成熟和优化。HR将需要设计更好的政策来管理远程和混合工作的员工,包括技术支持、绩效评估和团队协作。尤其是在政治环境可能受到影响的情况下,如特朗普重回白宫可能带来的政策变化,公司需要更灵活的劳动力管理方式,以应对政策的不确定性和跨州的不同规定。 3. 多元化与包容性在政治压力下的挑战 随着可能的政治环境变化,多元化与包容性可能面临更大的挑战。特朗普回归可能带来对劳动力市场的管制和移民政策的收紧,这将直接影响到HR对全球化人才的招聘。HR需要更加积极地维护职场的多样性与包容性,创造一个公平、包容的工作环境。这也意味着企业需要加强文化敏感度培训,确保在更具分裂性的社会氛围中维护公司内部的和谐。 4. 数据隐私与合规性管理的复杂性增加 随着数字员工和智能代理的使用,企业对员工数据的收集和使用将大幅增加,这对HR的隐私和合规管理提出了新的挑战。特别是在美国,如果特朗普再次执政,劳工和数据保护政策可能会有显著变化。HR需要更加密切关注新的法律法规,确保数据的收集和处理符合各州和联邦法律的要求,并保持透明的沟通以赢得员工的信任。 5. 技能提升与终身学习成为HR焦点 2025年,技能差距问题将进一步凸显,尤其是在技术快速发展的背景下。HR需要与培训和学习部门合作,设计持续的技能提升计划,确保员工能够掌握最新的技术和工作方法。随着AI和自动化工具的普及,员工需要具备更高层次的技术技能和问题解决能力,HR也将更多地参与人才的技能重塑,确保企业在竞争中保持优势。 6. 心理健康与员工幸福感得到更多关注 心理健康已经成为HR的重要议题,2025年这一趋势将继续深化。随着技术和远程工作的普及,工作与生活的界限日益模糊,HR需要关注员工的心理健康,提供相关支持。这不仅涉及到心理健康资源的提供,还需要通过文化建设和员工关怀政策来提高员工的幸福感。随着美国社会可能面临的政治分裂和不确定性,HR需要积极缓解由此带来的员工焦虑。 7. 劳动力市场的多代际管理 2025年,劳动力市场将由多代人组成,包括婴儿潮一代、X世代、千禧一代以及Z世代。不同代际的员工有着不同的工作方式、价值观和技术适应度。HR必须设计灵活的工作政策,平衡各代员工的需求,特别是在招聘、工作模式和员工发展上。同时,AI和数字员工的崛起将进一步重塑这些代际的工作方式,HR需要帮助员工适应这种新常态。 8. 政治环境对劳工政策的影响 如果特朗普在2024年大选中获胜,其政府可能会实施更严厉的劳工政策,影响薪酬、福利、移民和就业法律等方面。 HR需要随时了解政府的政策变化,确保公司运营合规,并积极调整劳动力管理策略。未来几年,美国的政治环境将对企业运营和HR的日常工作产生深远影响,因此HR必须具备应对快速政策变化的灵活性和适应性。 结语 2025年,HR将在技术变革和政治环境变化的双重推动下,面临前所未有的机遇和挑战。数字员工的普及将为企业提供更高效的工作方式,但HR也必须重新思考如何在人与技术之间找到平衡,维护企业文化和员工福祉。在不确定的政治环境中,HR需要具备敏捷性和创新精神,帮助企业在复杂多变的环境中实现可持续发展。

    Josh Bersin:Digital Twins, Digital Employees, And Agents Everywhere 2025 年,数字员工和人工智能助理的崛起将彻底改变人力资源运营,改变招聘、数据分析和员工管理等任务。 这些技术包括数字双胞胎和智能代理,它们将与人类专业人员一起工作,以提高生产力和优化工作流程。 随着人工智能工具成为日常业务不可或缺的一部分,人力资源领导者必须拥抱这些创新,同时继续关注技能培训、心理健康和包容性工作环境。 向人工智能的转变还将重塑团队动态,这对人力资源部门重新设计角色和流程以保持竞争力提出了挑战。 I recently heard Elon Musk predict that every citizen would have multiple Optimus robots in their homes within five years. And while I often ignore his predictions because they’re exaggerated, I think he’s on to something. We are about to witness an explosion of Digital Employees in our companies, and these may be the “robots” we’ve heard about for years. Let me explain. This week I talked with dozens of vendors and clients at Unleash and then visited our development partner Sana Labs in Stockholm. It’s now clear that we’re going to be working with multitudes of “digital employees” in the year ahead. (And as Dario Amodei, the founder of Anthropic explains, AI can do many more positive things in business, science, and health than we ever imagined.) By “digital employee” I mean a software powered agent that can talk with us, answer detailed questions, solve complex analytic problems, and navigate a multitude of systems. ChatGPT and its peers, which introduced the idea of an agent, has now spawned dozens of “agentic” use cases, which I’d be willing to refer to as personalities. Let me start with a “Digital Twin.” Imagine you have a superb customer service agent with years of experience helping your most demanding clients. If you load the last five years of their emails, coupled with all their internal documentation, and a log history of their last two years of service calls, you can essentially “create him or her” digitally with all the knowledge, style, and internal contacts this person has developed. This twin, which may look initially like an AI assistant, could then carry on this employee’s work when the real life worker is on vacation. One of our clients, a large insurance company, has already built “digital twins” for claims processing. If you think about the complexity and workflow of processing a claim, much of it could be learned by an agent, making the “claims robot” an expert on this important process. And as you change claims rules and limits, the agent will learn new guidelines in only seconds. Our AI assistant Galileo, a trained expert on HR (Galileo is trained on 25 years of research and thousands of conversations with clients and vendors), is essentially a “digital twin” of me and the other analysts in our firm. I’m not saying Galileo is as fun to talk with as we are, but I can assure you that he (or she) is as knowledgeable and supportive. And Galileo is even smarter than I am: he has instant knowledge of skills models, compensation benchmarks, turnover statistics, and other data bases which I can only access by looking them up on demand. And using the Sana platform we can configure Galileo to have multiple personalities. Galileo the “Recruitment Agent” might have in-depth knowledge of screening, interviewing, and candidate skills assessment and he may have direct linkage to SeekOut, Eightfold, or any other sourcing applications. In his candidate facing personality he may be able to answer candidate questions, explain shift schedules, and “sell” the company to top job candidates. (This is what Paradox has done for years and vendors like Eightfold and LinkedIn are launching now.) But there’s more. Imagine that this “digital twin” or “digital employee” has intimate knowledge of Workday, SuccessFactors, or a variety of other systems. Now the assistant can not only answer questions and help solve problems, he can also process transactions, look things up, and run reports against multiple system. The digital employee has turned into a “digital analyst,” who can find things and do work for you, saving you hours of effort in your daily life. (Vee from Visier is designed for this.) Suppose you ask your digital friend to attend meetings for you, participate in conversations on certain topics, and alert you in real time when urgent issues come up for discussion. He could help you scale your time, keep you informed about decisions you need to know about, and help you manage your action items. And the list goes on and on and on. Best of all, what if your digital twin can talk to you. Suppose he “checks in” with you about the project you asked for help with last week, so you inform him how things are going and he gets “smarter” about what you may need next. Galileo does this today, prompting you to dig into a problem and explore areas you may not have considered. And if you ask him about management or people issues, he could give you advice and coaching, based on the leadership models or even CEO interviews in your own company. (BetterUp, Valence and others are working on this.) This is not science fiction, my friends. All this is becoming reality and will certainly be common next year. Every vendor has a slightly different focus. The Microsoft Copilot specializes in MS Office-related activities, ServiceNow’s focuses on internal service and support, Galileo is focused on the needs of HR, and Joule is an expert on all the functions of SAP. Each of these “digital employees” needs training, feedback, and connections to stay current and relevant. So it’s doubtful that one digital employee will do everything. (Training a digital employee means managing his or her corpus of information, which will be a major new role in HR.) One thing is very clear: we are going to be living and working with these guys. And as we use them and see what they’re capable of, we’re going to redesign work. Little by little we’ll offload tasks, projects, and workflows. And as we do, we’ll get smarter and smarter about redesigning our teams. I liken the process to that of a carpenter who gets a new multi-function power drill. Before the drill he may have manually drilled holes, carefully selecting the drill bit and the level of pressure based on wood density. Now he drills holes faster, more accurately, and with more precision. Soon he just speeds through the process, spending more time on cabinet fit, finish, or design. The same thing will happen to our HR tasks, projects, and designs. And these new digital employees are programmable! So once we figure out what they’re capable of we can adjust them, customize them, and connect them together. Eventually we’ll have intelligent assistants that operate as entire applications. And that’s the threat to incumbent software companies – the agents hollow out many of our existing applications. How Do Our Digital Employees Impact Our Own Work? One more observation. Many a few of the clients I talked with kept asking “what about our softskills?”  What work is truly human? I think that’s the wrong question. Rather we should ask the opposite: how much can I delegate to my new friends as fast as possible! Have you been upset that your vacuum cleaner took away the rewarding human work of sweeping a floor? How much joy do you get from washing dishes? Did your dishwasher make you feel deflated when you stopped splashing around in the soapy water? Of course not – these tools eliminated tasks we considered to be “drudgery.” Well today, thanks to digital assistants, creating a pivot table to do cross-tab analysis has become drudgery. You can stop getting your hands wet with that task – ask Galileo or Copilot to analyze the data, and then ask him to chart it, add more data, and try new assumptions. The more we learn to use these new digital employees the more “drudgery” we can stop doing. And consider complex “human-centered” activities like “change management.” A client asked me “how could Galileo help me with change management for our new HCM system?” I answered her with dozens of ideas: ask Galileo for case studies of other companies and have it build a checklist to consider based on what other companies did. Then ask Galileo to build a training plan; ask it to read the user documentation and create a table of what features are new; then ask Galileo to rewrite that change plan by role. And finally ask Galileo to write a press release about success, craft some compelling communications to employees, and ask it to compute the ROI of all the steps eliminated. These are all “manual” human tasks we do today and they take time and ingenuity to figure out. If you went through this process in Galileo you could ask your digital employee to save these steps and prompts in a “template,” and you have just taught your digital employee how to do change management. The next time you need him he can step you through the process. As I started to explain this to my client I stopped and said: wait a minute. I can’t possibly show you everything Galileo can do. You have to try it for yourself. And that’s my big message. Don’t wait for a vendor to drop a finished solution in your lap. These are intelligent, trainable, digital experts. You have to get to know them so you can figure out where they fit in your job, your projects, and your company. Just like you do with any new hire. I say it’s time to get started. No more sweeping floors or washing dishes by hand. Let’s meet our digital employees, tell them about our projects, and ask for their help. Step by step, day by day, we can redesign our jobs to be more more productive, liberating us to do greater things.

    2024美国大选对招聘行业的深远影响,HR应如何应对? How the US elections could affect recruiting 随着2024年美国大选的临近,选举结果可能对招聘趋势产生重大影响。根据Appcast首席经济学家Andrew Flowers的分析,选民最关心的三大问题——经济(包括就业和股票市场)、移民和通胀(包括生活成本)——都与招聘紧密相关。移民政策影响招聘人员的可用人才库,而通胀和生活成本则影响薪酬和工资增长预期。 Flowers在2024年10月15日的网络研讨会上探讨了美国大选可能对2025年招聘战略产生的影响。他列举了四种可能的选举结果,并对每种情景的招聘影响进行分析。例如,Harris获胜的情况下,可能对劳动力需求、供应和工资影响较小,而共和党全面执政则可能导致劳动力供应减少,工资增长。 选举的结果对招聘市场将产生不同的影响,从关税、税收政策、移民政策到工资增长等多方面,招聘人员必须为多种可能性做好准备。Flowers指出,这次选举结果悬而未决,总统选举结果接近50-50,众议院和参议院的控制权也未定。 “总统选举结果极其接近,”Flowers强调道。“任何结果都有可能。”此外,无论哪个党派掌握众议院和参议院,都可能影响未来的招聘政策,招聘人员应关注候选人的关税政策、移民执法和税法变化。 他提出的四种情景包括:1. Harris胜选,国会分裂或由共和党掌控,可能对劳动力市场影响中立;2. 共和党胜选并控制国会,可能导致移民政策收紧,工资增长;3. Trump胜选并国会分裂,可能对工资和移民政策影响较小;4. 民主党全面执政可能有利于劳动力供应和工资增长。 Flowers总结道,他的分析旨在提供非党派的观点,招聘人员应密切关注选举结果对未来招聘战略的影响。   人们在选择候选人时认为最重要的三个问题——经济(包括就业和股市)、移民和通货膨胀(包括生活成本)——都与招聘密切相关。 例如,移民影响了人才库以及招聘人员能够招聘的对象,程序化招聘广告提供商Appcast的首席经济学家Andrew Flowers在一次网络广播中表示。另一个方面,通货膨胀和生活成本会影响薪酬和预期的工资增长。 Flowers的网络广播《美国大选如何影响2025年招聘策略》于10月15日举行,旨在提供对选举影响的非党派观点。 “无论哪位候选人当选,我们都处于一个高度通胀的环境,”他说,并补充道,选民似乎并不愿意削减支出。 Flowers强调,由于这次总统选举竞争非常激烈,招聘人员面临着严峻的形势。 “总统职位基本上是五五开,”他说。“选情非常接近……可能会朝任意一方倾斜。” Flowers还指出,美国众议院和参议院的控制权也悬而未决。尽管预测人士认为参议院可能会从民主党翻转到共和党,但众议院的控制权将在11月选举中紧张角逐。 影响招聘的因素还包括候选人是否引入更多关税、他们对驱逐非法移民的政策以及2017年《减税和就业法》下的个人税率,这些税率将在2025年底到期。 Flowers提出了四种情景: 情景1:卡马拉·哈里斯获胜,而国会则可能分裂或由共和党控制两院。这个情景的概率为45%,Flowers表示,这对劳动力需求、供给和工资的影响将是中性的。关税和税收政策将保持现状,边境执法将仅有适度收紧。 情景2:共和党占据总统和国会两院的主导地位。这个情景的概率为30%。Flowers表示,这对劳动力需求的影响可能是中性的,潜在的关税可能会减缓经济增长,而可能的税收减免则可能促进增长。然而,可能的大规模驱逐移民的政策可能对劳动力供给产生负面影响。不过,由于通胀、财政、贸易和移民政策的影响,工资可能会上涨。 情景3:唐纳德·特朗普赢得总统大选,国会则可能分裂或由民主党控制两院。Flowers认为这种情况的可能性为20%。在这种情况下,潜在的关税可能会减缓经济增长,税收状况可能维持现状。劳动力供给的影响将是中性的,边境执法也将仅有适度收紧。通胀的财政和贸易政策可能对工资产生正面影响,导致工资上涨。 情景4:民主党占据总统和国会两院的主导地位。这个情景的概率仅为5%,Flowers表示,这对劳动力需求的影响将是中性的。然而,它可能对劳动力供给产生正面影响,移民政策将保持强劲,儿童保育政策也将得到实施。同时,随着劳动力权力的上升,结合通胀的财政政策,工资可能会上涨。 距离11月5日的选举还有三周,Flowers强调,他的分析旨在以非党派的角度审视事实,而不是支持某个特定的候选人或政党。   原文来自  https://www.staffingindustry.com/news/global-daily-news/how-the-us-elections-could-affect-recruiting

    ADP Lyric HCM, The Next-Gen HR Platform Many Have Waited For Josh Bersin 写文章介绍了ADP的 Lyric HCM,给予了高度评价。ADP于2018年启动了一项秘密项目,目标是开发下一代企业人力资源管理平台。这个项目最终被命名为ADP Lyric HCM,它的设计旨在应对当代灵活多变的工作环境。Lyric HCM基于高度可扩展的微服务架构,能够处理包括全职、兼职、临时工、自由职业者等多种员工类型,同时支持多重管理结构。该平台具有灵活性,可帮助企业快速适应组织重组、兼并收购等变化,且能够实现全球薪资和税务管理,提供符合各地法律法规的自定义规则。 Lyric HCM的设计不仅注重系统的灵活性,还融入了大量的AI功能,使其在用户体验上更加智能化和易用。通过ADP Assist这一AI工具,用户可以通过自然语言与系统互动,轻松进行复杂的HR操作。此外,Lyric HCM还提供实时的行业基准数据,帮助企业根据最新的薪酬和岗位信息做出决策。该系统的“人本位”架构使其更具灵活性,相比传统以职位为基础的系统,它可以更好地满足当代企业多重任务、多角色管理的需求。 Lyric HCM不仅支持多种HR功能,如招聘、绩效管理、培训和发展,还拥有一个统一的员工体验平台,员工可以通过简单的查询完成例如婚假申请等事务。此外,ADP还建立了强大的全球服务团队,确保客户获得定制化的实施和长期支持。 自上线以来,ADP Lyric HCM已经吸引了超过120个大型客户,证明了其系统的稳定性和可扩展性。其核心市场定位是为全球化、分布式的企业提供服务,尤其是在零售、医疗保健、餐饮等行业。作为一款融合AI技术的全新平台,Lyric HCM展示了未来人力资源管理系统的潜力,并成为Workday、Oracle、SAP等主要HCM供应商的有力竞争对手。   In the Spring of 2018 I attended a confidential meeting in New York City to learn about a project called Lifion. ADP had hired a new team of engineers convened in a secret mission to build the “next-generation platform” for ADP’s offerings in the enterprise market. This new system, designed ten years after the release of Workday, was intended to be a highly scalable, configurable, micro-services based system, capable of managing payroll, HR processes, and all talent applications for any category of employee. The system had to support dynamic teams, many worker modalities (full-time, part-time, hourly, gig, contract), and enable a company to manage many organization structures within its corporate function, each with different business rules and overlapping employees. It was designed, in a sense, for the highly flexible, dynamic companies of the post-pandemic era. In addition to this flexible architecture, the system was designed to support workers with multiple managers (and multiple time sheets), dynamic reconfiguration for M&A or new business entities, and global payroll and tax services with custom business rules that might be variable across the company. It needed to include a recruiting module, a variety of options for goals and performance management, tools for onboarding and development, excellent reporting, and an easy-to-use narrative interface that let any employee, manager, or HR professional use, configure, or run reports on the system. In my initial meeting I walked away impressed, and I wrote an article describing this project. Today, almost six years later, this product has a name (ADP Lyric HCM) and it has reached general availability for ADP customers with 1,000 customers or more. Today ADP has 120+ large accounts so the system is proven. And since its inception Lyric HCM has been infused with extensive AI features (ADP Assist is on par with SAP Joule as a true AI interface) and benchmark information from ADP’s data cloud. In other words, this system has the potential to be a “The Next Generation” HCM platform in the market. What Is ADP Announcing And Offering The core HR system has to do a lot of things. Not only does it have to manage payroll, benefits, and tax rules (in a global, constantly changing regulatory environment), it has to be flexible, easy to configure, and filled with easy-to-use interfaces for employees and HR. And by “flexible” I mean the system has to make it easy to open a new org structure, move employees around, and create multiple modes for a “manager” or supervisor. Almost all traditional HCM providers, Workday, Oracle, and SAP, were not designed to work this way. These vendors built contract work add-ons but in most cases when you want to flatten your organization, merge with another company, or reorganize roles it’s difficult. Flattening the organization often means “re-implementing” your HRMS. Most companies only do it once a decade. ADP Lyric HCM is designed to fix this. Imagine a company like Gold’s Gym where the company is constantly opening new Gyms and hiring new managers, with employees dual reporting to multiple managers. I talked with Gold’s Gym and as you can imagine the company went through a transformation during the pandemic. Started as a Southern California fitness company, Gold’s was acquired and is now a global organization branching into many new offerings. Facilities were consolidated and each local fitness center operates with a lot of management independence. For example, an employee who is a trainer in one gym with one manager may also be a trainer or support staff in another gym with another manager. This type of “work-centric” (as opposed to “job-centric”) operation is becoming very common. Lyric HCM supports these multi-manager work models, including features for performance management, time tracking, and contract workers. Think about any retailer, healthcare company, or other highly distributed operation. One Gold’s Gym may pay overtime in one way, another in a different way. You can imagine the permutations. Every company has situations like this. I was recently at Rolls-Royce where they are centralizing engineering teams away from product groups, making 30 to 40% of their engineers “floaters.” Rolls has enormous contracts with government and commercial customers, each with different financial models. They need a system like this just like a gym, restaurant chain, or elder care network. There’s more. In addition to these HRMS and global payroll features, ADP has built an employee experience platform, employee communications system, and learning and development system. You simply type a query like “I’m getting married” and the system shows a page that consolidates tasks and resources in one place. If an HR manager wants to “pay a bonus” the system asks what organization, shows a list of people, and lets the manager define the bonus without hunting for menus and panels. Highlights Of The Next Gen Approach Since this system was architected in the age of AI, it has some very unique capabilities out of the box. First, in the area of flexibility, this is a “person-based” architecture, as opposed to a “role-based” architecture. That feature alone enables all these features to be possible. Second, in the area of usability, the system is among the most “AI-enabled” interfaces I’ve seen. While most HCMs are building assistants to speed through transactions, Lyric HCM literally “learns” what you’re trying to do and prompts you through the process. Remember these HCM systems are complex (Workday’s “Users Guide” is 2500 pages long), so we want the system to feel approachable not intimidating. As you can see from this slide, ADP also offers embedded benchmarks as well as a nudge engine. The benchmarks come from ADP’s data cloud, giving companies up to date salary ranges and other metrics by job title and job level (no other HCM platforms do this). The nudge engine is used for Lyric HCM’s onboarding and development system, reminding users of tasks or activities they need to perform. ADP Assist, the company’s Gen AI tool, lets you ask questions about any employee or group, legal and tax issues, and payroll or financial data. It’s quite powerful and I would say it rivals Joule as a conversational interface for HCM. Third, the system has a novel and approachable interface for employees. Rather than offer people a variety of “centers” or “portals” to find things, the system is smart enough to give employees exactly what it thinks they need. Typical HR transactions like changing your family status or address, or looking at benefits or pay are simple. Persona-based dashboards are designed for payroll or tax managers. And any HR professional can customize the interface for their use. Because the system is so dynamic, users can set up smart reports and other views to pinpoint the data and organizational unit they’re interested in. And ADP has built a management development tool (to take newly promoted supervisors through development), an onboarding system, and many features for performance and goal management. Where Will This Go? ADP Services When we think about ADP’s platforms we have to remember that ADP is not just a cloud software company. Most of the company’s revenue comes from services: payroll, PEO, and license fees around those offerings. This means ADP’s sales and service organization is very service-centric and highly trained in all areas of HR. (Most HR software sales teams are not HR domain experts.) To support Lyric HCM the company put together a global service team combined with dedicated client success executives to make sure each customer has a personalized, outcome-based implementation plan. This means ADP Lyric HCM is not just a great platform, but a set of people to help with configuration, utilization, integration, and long-term planning. ADP is starting to work with integrators, but likely will handle most of their customer implementations themselves. Impact On The Market. At this point Lyric HCM is positioned as an offering for mid to large companies headquartered in the United States with global workforces. This means Lyric HCM is directly positioned to compete with UKG, Ceridian, Workday, Oracle, SAP, and vendors like Darwinbox, HiBob (which is going upmarket), Lattice, and others. The “Pay” companies (Paychex, Paycor, Paycom) are focused primarily on smaller companies, but as they grow their offering they may compete as well. That is not to say ADP can solve every client need. These platforms mature over many years and each vendor has different industry and focus features. At this point I believe ADP will most likely win in industries like retail, hospitality, health care, and other distributed, hourly workforce companies. And given ADP’s focus on small and medium business, it will take time for ADP to reach large companies. Nevertheless, it’s time for change in HCM. Designed for agility and infused with AI, ADP Lyric HCM shows us a future we’ve been looking for.

    AI Agents, The New Workforce We’re Not Quite Ready For (Agentic AI) Josh Bersin 刚刚谈到:AI代理人的兴起标志着工作方式的一次革命。这些AI代理人不仅仅是工具,而是未来的团队成员。从开发培训课程到管理招聘过程,AI代理人的能力正被企业系统广泛利用。科技领袖和投资者对此展现出了极大的兴趣和投资。企业需要为这种变革做好准备,包括安全性和管理实践的更新。 我们一起来看下,英文原文附录链接在最后! AI智能体,新一代劳动力,我们还没有做好准备 智能体正在到来,智能体正在到来。 如果你关注AI技术市场,你就会知道,最近有很多关于“智能体AI”的讨论。换句话说,我们的AI助手开始拥有更多自主能力。不再只是回答问题和写诗,它们现在可以代表我们“做事情”。 这正是长久以来预测的AI下一个大趋势。埃里克·施密特最近谈到了这一点,微软也在讨论,像Mayfield这样的投资者正在投入资金。而这种演变确实将彻底革新我们的系统。 可以这样想:“大语言模型”是我们过去两年一直在学习的内容,它们现在正逐步转变为“大行动模型”。智能体不仅仅会回答问题,它还会为我们做事情。 消费场景是无穷无尽的:为我预订航班,为我买票,向我的朋友发送电子邮件。但在商业领域,这种转变将颠覆并破坏我们的许多企业系统。它还将改变我们工作的方式、管理的方式以及我们对团队的思考方式。 考虑我们与供应商讨论的两个HR用例。 学习与发展(L&D)AI智能体 想象一下,你指示一个L&D AI智能体“为我们的销售人员创建一个15分钟的课程,以教授他们如何定位我们的新产品”。AI智能体将根据你的输入(课程时长、目标受众等),向主题专家发送电子邮件,视频记录他们的评论和专业知识,整合新产品信息,构建课程,并将其发送给L&D负责人进行验证。作为经理,你可以审查课程,并指示智能体收紧信息或添加更多主题,课程将重新创建,然后你可以说“可以上线了”。智能体随后会将课程发布到学习管理系统(LMS)中,向所有销售人员群发电子邮件,并开始监控学习活动。几小时后,智能体会运行分析,并向经理反馈进展情况。 是的,这在今天完全可能。而且很快就会启动。 再来看第二个例子。 招聘AI智能体 人才招聘负责人收到了大量关于高级软件工程师的职位要求。她指示招聘AI智能体开始搜索。智能体询问招聘人员的地点偏好、职位级别选择、薪资范围和技能要求,然后开始工作。智能体扫描LinkedIn和其他招聘工具,查看ATS中的现有候选人,同时也查看所有内部员工的合格技能。智能体随后优化这份名单,创建一个“面试候选人短名单”,并回到招聘负责人那里征求意见。在就地点和薪资范围达成一致后,智能体返回并向这些候选人发送了一封富有吸引力的电子邮件,并附上一个视频面试门户链接,让他们进行面试。面试被录制下来,AI智能体使用面试智能工具来评估和筛选候选人,询问他们的时间安排,并为他们安排现场面试。在此过程中,AI智能体会查看他们的背景,搜索社交媒体,查看他们的各种联系,并可能查看他们的GitHub等平台和其他凭证,然后为每位候选人创建一个档案。 这些智能体很快就会出现,对我们许多人来说,它们看起来和感觉上会像“员工”一样。我们将不得不对它们进行培训、入职和指导。随着它们在各自的角色中“成熟”并成长,我们将它们连接到更多的系统、更多的人和更多的数据上。 Lattice的首席执行官萨拉·富兰克林大约一个月前实际上提出了这个概念,尽管遭到了反对声音,但我认为她是对的。这些智能体实际上将属于组织结构图的一部分。我们的工作将是管理它们,确保它们的安全,并监督它们的安全性。 还有更多内容即将到来 虽然感觉像科幻小说,但这一切正在发生。而且它不仅将改变我们的HR技术堆栈,还将改变整个企业技术格局,也让我们的HR角色变得更加轻松。   原文来自:  https://joshbersin.com/2024/09/agentic-ai-ai-agents-the-new-workforce-were-not-quite-ready-for/

    Indeed 职业定义中的年龄歧视引发的轩然大波 The Uproar Over Ageism in Career Definitions by Indeed 最近的Indeed报告将45岁定义为“职业晚期”、55岁以上为“职业衰退”,引发了对年龄歧视的批评。专家如Lyndsey Simpson强调,这种标签不仅有害,还忽视了老年工作者的潜力。尽管该报告旨在描述职业阶段,但其用语引起了广泛反响,最终导致信息图的删除。像Elizabeth Isele这样的倡导者强调,多代工作力的好处,如更强的人才管道和增强的工作稳定性。 最近,Indeed的一份报告因将45岁定义为“职业晚期”、55岁以上定义为“衰退”而被批评为“年龄歧视”。来自Freelance Informer的报道指出,55Redefined Group的创始人兼首席执行官、全球老龄化人口价值专家Lyndsey Simpson在LinkedIn上发文,批评该平台发布了她所视为“公然的年龄歧视和不负责任的内容”。 Indeed的信息图将45岁定义为“职业晚期”、55岁以上为“衰退”,同时将35-45岁称为“职业中期”。根据Freelance Informer的报道,该信息图在多次投诉后已被撤下。 Simpson表示:“在55岁以上,数百万人正在他们选择的职业中找到自己的步伐,或者正在重新技能培训,重新回到劳动力市场,或者开始新的企业。” Simpson认为,Indeed的指南延续了有害的刻板印象,削弱了老年工作者的潜力。她敦促公司认识到老年工作者的价值,并起来反对过时的偏见。 Next Up招聘机构的首席执行官Victoria Tomlinson说:“感谢成千上万分享、评论和发送电子邮件的人——Indeed已经撤下了这篇文章。” 尽管在Tomlinson的评论之后该图形仍可见一段时间,但现已被删除。 全球经验丰富的企业家精神研究所创始人Elizabeth Isele为Indeed的报告做出了贡献。她在报告中说:“多代工作力具有明显的竞争优势,原因有很多。立即,雇主就能开辟更强大、更广泛的人才渠道。你会得到一个更大的想法基因池。提高你的劳动力的连续性和稳定性。并在该劳动力中保留知识。”Isele指出,预计到2030年,55岁以上的工作者将增加1.5亿。
