As we head into the New Year, it is important for HR Leaders to focus on the evolving priorities and responsibilities within the HR function. Below are a few items that are high priorities according to Gartner’s annual HR Priorities survey.
Leader and Manager Development
Many managers are reporting that although there is an increased importance on manager support, responsibilities have increased to the point of being unmanageable.
What can we do in 2024 to support leader and manager development?
Reset expectations – how can you reevaluate the scope of the leadership role?
Rebuild your manager pipeline – how can you develop your current employees?
Rewire manager habits – what training can you provide to current managers?
Remove process hurdles – how can you streamline the process and remove roadblocks?
Career Management and Internal Mobility
Because traditional career paths are no longer the standard in many organizations, employees are left unsure of how to progress in their career. Companies should be encouraged to create adaptive career paths that align business needs with employees’ goals, interests, and skills.
Change Management
Traditional top-down change management techniques are less effective. Employees need a change management approach that is transparent, human-focused, and engaging. When possible, involving employees in decision making can drive positive transformation and buy-in. Shifting to an open-source approach and involving employees in decision making and planning and through continued conversation can increase change initiative success.
