For organizations, opportunities for career growth and education are important to attract and retain workers as well as essential to address skill gaps. This emphasis on skills and learning has led to workers focusing on reskilling and upskilling. Traditionally, workers would need to return to a technical or trade school or university for more education; however, companies such as Skillsoft now offer a means to learn while working. With advances in e-learning, it is now possible for people to reskill and upskill at work to improve engagement and create their own career paths. Skillsoft markets itself as being designed to address the skills gap.

The necessity to empower people within an organization to be most effective and highly impactful is no easy task and is central to what business and HR leaders seek to enable. At the core of this mission is understanding the motivations of individuals who are eager to gain new skills that help their career growth while also supporting their current expected performance. Managing and motivating skills development require content and learning methods that align to the role and responsibility of the individual. Necessary steps in talent management include moving beyond a traditional learning management system (LMS) approach and creating learning experiences that are assembled from existing and new content, as well as from third-party providers, and are aligned to the individual’s needs.

A productive and engaged workforce is fundamental to many successful enterprises/organizations. But the pandemic has created unique challenges to “business as usual” and has transformed the employee experience across nearly all aspects. This transformation is an opportunity for organizations to reinvent their workplace, especially in consideration of remote personnel who may be spread across all regions of the globe but still need to feel connected and work efficiently. One key to providing a positive and meaningful workplace environment is supporting high-value interactions between employee and employer. These can be seen across organizations’ workflows, for example, by enabling a unified and personalized employee experience using intelligent workflows for complex processes like onboarding, training, coaching and the employee lifecycle. Ventana Research has asserted by 2024, personalization capabilities in HCM systems will allow three-quarters of organizations to benefit from recommendations that make the employee experience more meaningful, satisfying and productive.

Total Compensation Management (TCM) is a strategic HCM area focused on the processes, data, analytics and technology capabilities needed to achieve an integrated and holistic approach to rewarding employees for their value and contributions. One aspect of TCM is pay equity which, simply defined, means pay comparability and fairness and a lack of bias. It is an organization’s ability to determine what jobs require comparable skill, effort and responsibility while relating that to market pay rates and trends. While most mid- and senior-level managers are keenly aware of the legislative considerations around equal pay, many continue to have a narrow, if not incorrect, view of pay equity and why it also warrants serious attention. Pay equity does not just relate to compensating appropriately and without race or gender bias for similarly valued jobs and job duties. It also encompasses the notion of comparable opportunities being afforded to earn better compensation and derive job satisfaction. This involves the perception of fairness in the broader context of the employee experience, one of the four pillars of a superior employee experience.

Business continuity — especially during a pandemic, natural disaster, cyber event or geopolitical situation — requires business and risk mitigation processes. Unfortunately, few organizations are prepared to respond appropriately. Whether an organization rises to the challenge or descends into survival mode is determined by the way it meets the expectations of the workforce, customers, stakeholders and potentially shareholders.
