Is HR ready to steer the new ways of working?

The year 2020 triggered organizations across sectors to rethink priorities and reset their ways of working. In setting course and navigating through unchartered territories pertaining to future-of-work, the People function has leapfrogged from being administratively focussed to a highly strategic and agile contributor. Organizational talent continues to be a competitive lever, with the ever-so evolving need to adopt a people-first mindset that prioritizes individual, relational and enterprise experiences. EY recently conducted a work-reimagined survey across 16 countries including India, presenting interesting cues on changing employee expectations on permanent flexibility in work, need for reimagined workspaces and investments in technology and home offices. NASSCOM and EY conversations with industry leaders further corroborated the fact that to unlock the potential of this unforeseen change, it is imperative for HR to renew its focus on what matters and create a resilient environment –one of empathy, inclusiveness, growth and empowerment. We are developing byte-sized insights which will enable business and people leaders to accelerate their thinking on how HR can steer into these new ways of working. We hope that you enjoy reading the same. As always, we look forward to your feedback and suggestions.
