People Power: A Catalyst for Transformation
Global workforce transformation trends study 2019.
The struggle to transform is real. The digital revolution has been a major driver of business transformation, revolutionizing the world of work, transforming what we do and how we do it, while changing what consumers want and how they want it. As a result, the companies that create, design, produce and deliver these products and services need to constantly redesign their business models, strategic plans and workforce characteristics to keep pace with the ever-changing demands of the marketplace.
Business transformation involves many moving parts, and it requires an integrated approach that includes people, processes, systems and technology. HR.com partnered with Lee Hecht Harrison—a leading provider of talent development and career transition services—to better understand the “people” part of the equation. The global survey of 1,228 HR professionals in virtually every industry vertical from over 20 countries collected data on how companies are transforming their workforces.
What is workforce transformation? We define it as the strategic process of planning, developing and redeploying employees to ensure companies have the critical skills and capabilities to help drive the future business imperatives of an organization. Do it right, and you have the right people with the right skills and right mindsets to enable the company to transform. Do it wrong, and your transformation efforts will fail.
