In 2021 we saw HR once again serving as their organizations\u2019 change leaders \u2014 bringing new tools, resources and inspiration to their highly adaptable and motivated workforces. In one of Betterworks\u2019 Empower HR marquis sessions, \u201cLessons Learned for 2022<\/a>,\u201d global HR analyst and thought leader, Josh Bersin, shared his insights regarding workplace dynamics and HR priorities including winning the ongoing talent war, developing new leadership skills and behaviors for new work models, and why delivering an optimal employee experience is more critical than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons Learned for 2022 <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dramatic shifts in today\u2019s workplace have been occurring for 14-plus years. Starting with the Great Recession of 2008, we\u2019ve experienced a steady digitization within virtually every aspect of our personal and professional lives including our companies, job responsibilities, business models, and employee experiences. The pandemic caused many companies to downsize and then upsize, leading employees to adapt to new roles and work environments while trying to achieve a semblance of work-life balance. Many workers participated in The Great Resignation \u2014 choosing to leave their current jobs for ones that better aligned with their skills, passions, and lifestyles. These factors have resulted in companies finding new ways to automate roles in order to maintain their operations and deliver the service and experience their customers expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHR has become a heroic function as companies adapt to these changes,\u201d Josh notes. \u201cAll the conversations about HR not having a seat at the table have disappeared and they are now asked and expected to do some very important things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winning the Talent War<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Josh, research from Citibank and other economists indicates that U.S. companies will create five to six million new jobs in 2022 \u2014 a tall order considering that more than 4.5 million U.S. workers handed in their resignations last month alone. This is the largest number of resignations since the Department of Labor started tracking this number more than 30 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to fill these roles, HR leaders need to identify and implement new strategies for recruitment, leveraging internal talent, and identifying and developing future-focused skills within their organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
