The Future of Work- this time with HR !

ARE WE THERE YET? What's Next for HR ? ?

 Embrace Futurism.Why? As I think it is critical to the success of business.I read an interesting  Mike Montgomery’s article in Forbes called Entrepreneurs Need to Embrace Futurism. I am going to take what Montgomery says about why entrepreneurs need to pay attention to futurism and apply that to HR.

Future Shock

The inspiration for Montgomery’s piece was an article on the death of Alvin Toffler, author of the book Future Shock. The author of the article, Farhad Manjoo, said that people today have mostly ignored Toffler’s warnings and advice and have become “future blind.” Change is occurring at such a rapid rate that people don’t even try to keep up with it, we just deal with it. Manjoo says that is the wrong approach and that governments need to “take a closer look at the academic study of futurism and try to determine how to better and more smoothly integrate technology in order to prepare for the future.” Montgomery’s contention is that entrepreneurs should do the same thing. As you might suspect I feel that HR should do this as well.

Forecast the future

Montgomery says that it seems we have just seemed to have stopped studying the future. He quotes Amy Webb, the CEO and founder of Future Today Institute, who says that we need to be “thinking about the future, but that requires [we] invest time into forecasting trends.” 

Montgomery this gives some advice he gleaned from several well-known futurists, such James Canton and Jack Uldrich. Here is some of that advice from Canton we get:

“Every entrepreneur  [HR professional] should be thinking about what their customers’ [employees] future lives will be looking like.”

“Every entrepreneur [HR professional] should be talking to people about what their emerging needs are.”

“Budding entrepreneurs [HR professionals] should travel to micro trade shows or immerse themselves in micro communities [technology fairs].

From Uldrich we get:

“Entrepreneurs  [HR professionals] need to be aware that thinking has leapt from linear to exponential. They need to be humble enough to know that what worked well yesterday might not today. And they need to be willing to take a risk, even if all of the information isn’t perfect.”

“You [HR professionals] have  to understand how technologies will converge to spin off to create new opportunities”

From Amy Webb we get:

“If you’re not serious about tracing trends, as an entrepreneur  [HR professional] you are being irresponsible.”

Summing up the advice !

The Summation of these statements means that as an HR professional

• You need to be curious about the future
• You need to find out what is making prospects, employees and managers tick
• You need to investigate trends and be aware of the difference between fads and trends
• You should be curious and investigate new technologies to determine their viability in your world
• You need to realize you are not going to know it all
• You have to put the time and effort into studying changing trends and if you don’t you are not doing your best for your company

Situation, Task, Action, Result !

The STAR (Situation, Task, Action, and Result) format is a job interview technique used by interviewers to gather all the relevant information about a specific capability that the job requires. 

This interview format is said ^{[by whom?]} to have a higher degree of predictability of future on-the-job performance than the traditional interview. This technique is a behavioral interview technique.

• Situation: The interviewer wants you to present a recent challenge and situation in which you found yourself.
• Task: What did you have to achieve? The interviewer will be looking to see what you were trying to achieve from the situation.
• Action: What did you do? The interviewer will be looking for information on what you did, why you did it and what the alternatives were.
• Results: What was the outcome of your actions? What did you achieve through your actions and did you meet your objectives? What did you learn from this experience and have you used this learning since?

The STAR technique is similar to the SOARA technique.

Change Leader Change Culture

A Change in Company Culture = A Change in Leadership

The times are changing. But what does that mean? Does the drastic act of changing an organization’s culture mean that the leadership must also change? Sharlyn Lauby wrote a great article on her blog titled HR Bartender regarding this very topic.

 Many have the belief that the company culture is set by the CEO and their executive staff, but is this true? There is a leaning majority that is pushing towards the previous statement as being false. The company culture is a makeup of your employees, your vendors, and your teammates. The development of company culture actually comes from your communication with each other and with the organization as a whole. Unless you are prepared to give up something valuable you will never be ... Cheers! Facilitating this communication is something to take pride in my blogs to overcome culture change.

'Being' Versus 'Doing' Punk ?

Two guys are running away from an angry grizzly when one stops to take off his hiking boots and switches to running shoes. "What are you doing," the other guy yells, "those aren't going to allow you to outrun the bear..." The other guy smiles and points out that he doesn't have to outrun the bear, just his friend.

I was at a fancy event the other day, and it was held in three different rooms. All of these fancy folks were there, in fancy outfits, etc. More than once, I heard people ask, "is this room the best room?" It wasn't enough that the event was fancy. It mattered that the room assigned was the fanciest one.
Class rank. The most expensive car. A 'better' neighborhood. A faster marathon. More online followers. A bigger pool...

One unspoken objection to raising the minimum wage is that people, other people, those people, will get paid a little more. Which might make getting ahead a little harder. When we raise the bottom, this thinking goes, it gets harder to move to the top.

After a company in Seattle famously raised its lowest wage tier to $70,000, two people (who got paid more than most of the other workers) quit, because they felt it wasn't fair that people who weren't as productive as they were were going to get a raise.

They quit a good job, a job they liked, because other people got a raise.
This is our culture of 'getting ahead' talking.

This is the thinking that, "First class isn't better because of the seats, it's better because it's not coach." (Several airlines have tried to launch all-first-class seating, and all of them have stumbled.)

There are two challenges here. The first is that in a connection economy, the idea that others need to be in coach for you to be in first doesn't scale very well. When we share an idea or an experience, we both have it, it doesn't diminish the value, it increases it.

And the second, in the words of moms everywhere: Life is more fun when you don't compare. It's possible to create dignity and be successful at the same time. (In fact, that might be the only way to be truly successful.)

Don’t forget to spend some quality time with your Parents!

Know How to Empower Your People – Key to Transformation Leadership

Leadership Challenge! The Saying-Doing Gap, How to Ruin Innovation and Productivity…

The importance of closing the "knowing-doing gap” clearly first requires knowing what to do and how to do it really well.

It’s usually not a challenge for leaders to say that developing future leaders is important, nor is it difficult to say that we have a vision of future success. However, with the pace and complexity of business today, it can be an enormous challenge and opportunity to establish, operationalize, and sustain the values and vision by which the organization thrives.

The saying-doing gap is all about the mismatch between what people say and what they mean. We can use the word mean instead of do in this case because in some situations the saying part isn’t as tightly linked to a direct action as one might think.

Getting specific is the key to closing the saying-doing gaps that you identified by inspiring passion and performance! We must start closing the “saying-doing gap." This is the classic scenario where we, as leaders, fail to walk the talk and actually deliver on these commitments. Not only does this gap frustrate your best people, it erodes the trust that binds the organization together.

The most effective leaders are the ones who actually do the right things! They don’t just say what should be happening, they make things happen through their actions and interactions.

By closing the saying-doing gap, you build more trust because people know they can rely on you to do what you say you’re going to do. By passing this value on to your employees and adding a measure of accountability, you build a strong culture of leadership and commitment.

Summing-up: Great leadership first requires knowing what to do and how to do it really well....

To start thinking like an outsider ‘insider’, the trick is to overcome two common conceptual biases – Overvaluing Outcomes and Motivated Blindness.

So, tell us, what’s the one thing you are going to do differently this year to close the “saying-doing gap” and develop your future leaders?

What's Your Competitive Advantage?

Talk To Your Customers. Find out what they need. Don’t pay any attention to the Competition. They’re not relevant to You."

--- Joel Spolsky

Those who talk with their Customers and uncover their needs have developed the ace up their sleeve that the competition doesn't have. Many salespeople are happy with one sale; don't let that be you. Dig a bit deeper -  what other business issues keep your customer up at night?  If you don't ask, they won't tell you. Be helpful and if you can't solve their problem, find someone who can.  Be a resource, not a liability !

Are Millennials really the first generation to do worse than their Parents ?

A Typical Millennial will earn about £8,000 ($10,600) less during their twenties than those in the previous generation.

Millennials have had to endure quite a lot in their short run in the adult world. They are constantly criticized for their silly interests while being refused access to the adulthood they so heartedly desire. From claims of laziness to a dwindling job market, there’s little millennials can do to assert themselves in the world today. And according to a recent study, they are going to be the first generation to make less money than their parents.

Failed Experiments? ?

There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes.

If you are a scientist, you already know this. Trial and error is something you see every day.... 

The TV scientist who mutters sadly, "The experiment is a failure; we have failed to achieve what we had hoped for," is suffering mainly from a bad script writer. An experiment is never a failure solely because it fails to achieve predicted results. An experiment is a failure only when it also fails adequately to test the hypothesis in question, when the data it produces don't prove anything one way or another.”

The rest of us, of course, are puzzled. Don't we kind of think that we have to be perfect? Might be time to re-think that thought! It's never too late to start over Clarity in what we want, trust in ourselves, faith in knowing everything is possible, hope in the future, and a spirit that never quits is all we need.

Hire For Attitude

Your Hiring Formula – It's Recruit For Attitude, Train For Skill ! 

Build Your Team Skills !

Fun Corporate Outing Ideas and Team-Building Activities Everyone Will Enjoy ... But how do you find ideas for a great team outing? Maybe you start with a Google search for "team outing ideas" and stumble upon  "field trips" ... Want to take advantage of the outdoors?

Building camaraderie with your co-workers is an important piece of a healthy working environment — it helps create a stronger and more communicative team. One of the many enjoyable ways to build camaraderie is by heading out to the great outdoors. It gives each person a chance to shine and possibly teach or learn something new within the group. Plus, it’s a great way to blow off steam and reduce stress. Scheduling an annual outing gives employees something to look forward to each year, and creates excitement in the office as the date approaches. If you’re in need of ideas to do with your team, consider one of the activities below.

Sink or Swim

Have you or your boss ever used this term? What if you and your teammates were stuck on a desert island and the only way off was to build a boat? The build-a-boat activity is a great team-builder — not only will employees work together to build a vessel, but they’ll have the added excitement of racing it around a designated course. To ensure safety, host the event at a body of water that is flat, like a lake or resort pool. Split your employees up into teams and equip them with the materials and blueprints to build a boat. You can hire a facilitator to guide the mission of building the boat to bring the teams to safety. It is a great practice in delegation, communication and teamwork to reach the common goal.

Shoot to Succeed

Taking your team to the shooting range is a great stress reliever. It enables those with gun safety experience to step forward and partake in a leadership role that may not be available to them in the work place. Make a friendly competition out of target practice by rewarding the best shooter with a prize such as added hours of paid time off, a paid lunch out out of the office or be allowed to go home early on a Friday. A prize may be just enough incentive to see your team members meet the challenge. Remember, take all safety precautions necessary by ensuring you have the correct safety equipment and firearm accessories

Race to the Finish

Signing up for an organized race can be both challenging and rewarding for everyone involved. It promotes fitness in the workplace and can result in employees adopting healthier habits (not to mention lower health insurance rates for the company). By having your teammates set a goal for themselves, it enables them to work hard to reach it. It also influences you and your co-workers to send positive messages to each other to encourage them to reach the goal they have set for themselves. Getting your team out of their comfort zones will allow them to think differently and realize they can get over that hill (physically or mentally) with a little training and help from a friend. Start with something small, like a 5K— it is not likely that you will see much interest from your team in running a half marathon off the bat.

.... ARMING FOR LoT ! Dealing With WorkPlace Stress!

When I had a corporate job I would wake up depressed. ... Stress at Work takes a toll on productivity, and your physical and emotional health...Any job can have stressful elements, even if you love what you do.

A Recent Survey 2016 conducted by the SHRM Global Association impacted Your Stress has left your  Company Earnings !

In many countries, employers have a legal responsibility to recognize and deal with stress in the workplace so that employees do not become physically or mentally ill.

It is important to tackle the causes of stress in the workplace as stress at work can lead to problems for the individual, working relationships and the overall working environment.  These issues may include lowered self-esteem and poor concentration skills for the employee. The employer may suffer from increasing customer complaints, staff turnover and days lost to sickness.

Managing stress in the workplace is therefore an essential part of both individual and corporate responsibility.

High levels of Stress in the Workplace can lead to:

---

• Poor decision-making.
• An increase in mistakes which in turn may lead to more customer or client complaints. This in turn is likely to produce more stress.
• Increased sickness and absence.
• High staff turnover.
• Poor employee/work place relations.

In the UK, the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has issued a guide entitled Tackling Stress: The Management Standards Approach (2005) which outlines areas of the workplace that should be monitored in order to assess levels of stress.
