The State of HR

The State of HR is in transition.

The days of being merely transactional are extinct and the evolution of the strategic HR department is underway.  So, what shape will the future take?  Where will the focus lie in order to achieve success? 

According to our latest report, the State of HR, 17 percent of HR professionals say the focus should be on company culture.  Why?  HR continues to grapple with the changes in the workforce defined by the continued retirement of older workers (Baby Boomers and Generation X) and the hiring of more Millennial and Generation Z workers.  And these workers want more from their employers than any other generation before them.  Not only is there a desire for a strong culture, but also for flexibility and transparency.  How does that affect the priorities of HR?  What technology will need to be adopted in order to adapt to the needs of the workforce?

The HR Exchange Network editorial team went to the HR community to get answers to these questions.  Included within its pages are the results of our latest survey with analysis around its findings.  Additionally, HR professionals from Allstate, Allegion, AdventHeatlh and Akebono Brake weigh in on the data and give real life practical advice for creating the HR department of the future.
