Although we look towards 2021 with hopes the world will return to something a little more recognizable, HR professionals must face the reality the pandemic has changed how most organizations operate forever.

In hand with AI for recruitment, employee development can be tracked from the moment of onboarding. This allows employees to receive proper orientation and continue to receive training and development as their careers progress. New forms of engaging training and development programs that are self-led, use the training method that most appeals to the individual. Organizations can provide personalized training content designed to meet the individual’s needs providing continuous learning and development opportunities that help reduce turnover challenges.
As the workplace technology changes, people maintain the appropriate skill set as AI in hand with centralized, cloud-based training allows the individual to adjust to technology.

This becomes even more important with the shift to work from home models that make access to such information the best way to improve HR efficiencies.
Demand for remote work left many organizations ill-prepared to remain productive. However, with total workforce management systems organizations can maximize productivity and profits with cloud-based tools designed to track employee performance.

Everything is managed in real-time so the decision-making process is not disrupted and all levels of management maintain control over their department’s productivity.

With the use of AI, HR professionals can become more responsive to turnover challenges by using it to analyze and spot departure trends. It can be used for competitive analysis to identify shortcomings in things such as an organization’s benefits, salary ranges, training programs and more allowing HR teams to adjust their offerings to make them more appealing to top talent.
With more organizations and many industries seeing spikes in the gig economy, adaptable HCM technology provides the tools to balance a good mix of full-time remote teams, onsite full or part-time workers, contract workers such as tradespeople for construction and freelance workers in areas such as marketing.

These HR trends for the future can easily be met using cloud-based technology and customized total workforce management systems.
