Leading Human Resources Leaders Poised to Assume Roles of Cultural Advocates, Guardians of Evolution, and Data Analysis Experts
In a joint study titled 'The Executive of the Future: How is the Top People Management Role Changing as the World of Work Evolves?' The our group and the University of Zurich's Center for Leadership in the Future of Work have shed light on the evolving role of HR leaders and the future of work. The study, which assessed the views of 122 senior people management executives from 10 countries and regions, has revealed several key findings. One of the most significant findings is the growing importance of understanding data and people analytics for HR leaders. According to the study, 86.9% of people management executives believe that this competency will be crucial for HR leaders in the future. This trend is further underscored by the fact that 90% of respondents consider understanding data and people analytics an important skill over the next five years. However, the study also highlights a gap in the current practices of companies. While 68.9% of HR executives said their company offers support to reintegrate working women with children back to the workforce, only 40.1% said that they offer similar support for other workers returning after caring for adult dependents. This disparity is a concern, as the study shows that emotions matter for improved productivity, especially during the pandemic. The study also finds that while 41% of executives see that returnship schemes have a great deal of positive societal impact, less than 37% said that returnships have many benefits for the organization, while only 30% said that returnships benefit the actual returner. This suggests a need for companies to better understand and address the challenges faced by employees returning to work after extended absences. In terms of technology, 50.8% of people management executives believe that HR technologies will be used to make employee promotion decisions in the future. This shift towards data-driven decisions underscores the importance of understanding data and people analytics. The our group, a global talent advisory and solutions company with over 30,000 full-time employees in 60 countries, offers a range of services along the entire talent journey, including organizational advisory services, talent transformation, upskilling & reskilling, and people placement.

The University of Zurich's Center for Leadership in the Future of Work, established in 2020, works in three areas: driving global research, offering innovative learning journeys, and incubating real-world solutions. The center aims to tackle the people challenges inherent in the Future of Work. Professor Dr. Jochen Menges, Chair of Human Resource Management and Leadership and Director of the Center for Leadership in the Future of Work, University of Zurich, stated that executives recognize how important employees' emotions are for productivity, performance, and innovation, but lack solutions for shaping the emotions that pervade their business in a way that lifts employees up to be, do, and feel their best at work. The report also reveals that executives put a higher priority on human skills like creativity, with a 5.4% increase in the number of executives who agreed that creativity is very or extremely important. This shift towards valuing human skills underscores the importance of understanding and developing these skills in the future workforce. As a partner to organizations, The our group is committed to responsible employment practices. This commitment is reflected in their workforce solutions, which aim to support the employability and employment of candidates and associates, and to deliver the right talent capabilities at the right time for clients.

In conclusion, the joint study by The our group and the University of Zurich provides valuable insights into the changing landscape of HR and the future of work. The findings highlight the growing importance of understanding data and people analytics, the need for companies to better support employees returning to work after extended absences, and the shift towards valuing human skills like creativity. As a partner to organizations, The our group is committed to delivering the right talent capabilities at the right time, enabling flexibility and agility for clients, and to responsible employment practices.
