Human Resource Knuggets
Sep 29, 2024
Dear HR Professionals,
In this week’s newsletter, we have gathered a roundup of the most read stories in the HR industry. One of the prevailing themes in the content is the increasing focus on employee value proposition (EVP) and the challenges in effectively communicating it internally. A Gartner survey revealed that most HR leaders are pouring resources into EVPs, but are struggling to communicate their value proposition to their employees. This presents a strategic opportunity for organizations to reevaluate their internal communication strategies and ensure that employees are aware of the benefits and value they receive from their employer.
Another significant trend is the rise of “GenAI skills” and the shifting demand for human skills over AI skills. While there is an exponential rise in AI skills, reports suggest that human skills continue to outpace the demand for AI skills. This trend presents an opportunity for organizations to invest in the development of human skills such as emotional intelligence, creativity, and critical thinking, which are essential for driving innovation and collaboration in the workplace.
Additionally, the content highlights the impact of false felony convictions on background checks and the repercussions it has on job offers. It brings to light the importance of thorough screening processes and the potential legal implications of inaccurate background checks. This emphasizes the need for organizations to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their screening services to avoid potential lawsuits and damage to their employer brand.
In light of these trends, it is crucial for HR professionals to stay updated on the evolving landscape of human resource management. As we approach the live virtual event on open enrollment strategy for 2025, featuring experts from the U.S. Department of Labor, Prudential, Alight Solutions, and the Employee Benefits Research Institute, it is an opportunity for HR professionals to broaden their knowledge base and stay informed about compliance with federal laws and enforcement priorities.
As we navigate the challenges and opportunities in the HR industry, it is essential for HR professionals to adapt to the changing demands of the workforce and prioritize effective communication of the employee value proposition. Additionally, investing in the development of human skills and ensuring the accuracy of background screening processes are strategic initiatives that can contribute to the overall success of an organization.
Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more updates in the HR industry.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
