Digital HR Leaders with David Green

This is a special bonus episode to kick off the podcast for 2021. In 2020, we learnt that the field of Human Resources is even more important than we thought it was, that People Analytics can save lives and that humans and the organisations they work for can adapt quickly in times of crises.

What do the events of 2020 mean for HR though, as we set sail into 2021? I have been publishing an annual set of predictions since 2014 and the show's producer, Ian Bailie, persuaded me that it would be fun to record a special episode of the podcast framed around my predictions for 2021. As you will hear I managed to turn the tables on Ian at several points in the conversation to get his take on a couple of the trends that are destined to set the agenda in 2021.

In our conversation, Ian and I discuss:

• Whether the future of work has arrived and if so, does it mean we can actually stop talking about the future of work?
• Why People Analytics is set to evolve in 2021 and how it can deliver more value at scale
• How skills, learning and careers are coming together and breaking down traditional silos in HR
• What HR Leaders and professionals can do to prepare for the future

This episode should be an interesting listen for anyone in a Workforce or People Analytics role, as well as HR, Learning and Business Professionals interested in how HR can drive business outcomes and create valuable experiences for employees.

2023 is here, and to kick things off, we bring you an episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast that you will not want to miss.

Today’s conversation takes a slight twist to the traditional HR trends predictions – with David, Diane and Dave using their unique perspectives to highlight the biggest shifts they believe are set to disrupt the world of work in 2023 and beyond.

The conversation covers:

A recap of the predictions and trends of 2022

How HR can get started in the shift towards a skills-based approach to talent

HR’s role in creating certainty in a world of uncertainty

Overcoming the paradox and disconnect between employer and employee needs, and HR’s mediating role

The skills HR needs in 2023 and beyond to really make a difference

So if you are looking for some inspiration on how to seize the window of opportunity in 2023, then this episode is for you.

What constitutes an effective manager today?

Worklytics’ research found that the role of the manager has changed exponentially since pre-pandemic. With the rise of hybrid models and distributed teams, greater employee expectations and the need to integrate new technologies – these significant shifts in the workplace are all making the role of managers more complex.

To discuss these shifting dynamics, in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Catherine Coppinger, Head of Customer Insights at Worklytics. Together, they delve into Worklytics’ latest findings on manager effectiveness, revealing some surprising insights that challenge the traditional views of management.

Topics covered in the discussion include:

• How the role of managers has evolved post-pandemic due to hybrid work models, distributed teams, greater employee expectations and new technology integrations
• Explanation of what passive data is and how it can be utilised to assess manager effectiveness from workplace tools
• Analysis of how a manager’s network density affects the effectiveness of hybrid and return-to-office strategies
• Insights into the optimal frequency of communication between managers and their remote or hybrid team members
• Examination of the effects of delayering trends in large organisations on manager and organisational effectiveness
• Exploration of the best team size for maximising managerial effectiveness based on recent research findings
