The agile employee lifecycle is inextricably pinned to the employee experience and to the employers' brand. The failure to deal with the employee experience strategically, will mean that the right employees for that environment are not attracted, recruited, onboarded and developed. At best this is a lost opportunity, at worst it is a move that strengthens the employer’s competitors by default.
Employers now need to ensure that they have multi-skilled employees. This means an increased need for continuous professional development to be truly part of an employer’s culture.
Recognition, compensation and benefits has never been more multifaceted, employers are, knowingly or unknowingly, on the edge of a revolution in these practices. Already gig economy workers are putting in bids to do a job, the effect of this on workplaces is very much still to be determined, but it is certain to change the landscape in which employers currently utilise and remunerate employees. In five years' time the concept of an annual increase and annual performance bonus will be as outdated as the traditional model of the employee lifecycle, if it isn't already.
With HR becoming more and more complex, it is critical that HR professionals are able to go back to basics in facilitating and creating relationships. To match the aspirations of an employee to the needs of clients or customers, there is an increasing need for HR to become part of the client or customer facing areas of the business to make sure that the diversity of the clients or customer needs, are matched by the diversity of the skill sets of the employees in the teams on the assignments, and to make sure that this can change with the changing needs of the business environment.
