Challenges for HR Professionals in 2019
To remain balanced when it comes to people in business, it has always been very unpredictable. However, we continue to look at trends, focus, and challenges for HR professionals every year. Some issues have persisted for a long time, while others have been addressed. This year, we aim to understand the foremost challenges for HR that need attention.
In India, business is experiencing a different phase, with uncertainty surrounding government policies on required labor reforms. Much noise has been made, and hopes have been raised, but nothing substantial has emerged. With the country heading towards the next general elections, there is little time left for significant changes. HR professionals should learn to operate within current labor regulations and address their needs accordingly.
Emerging Challenges in a Diversified Workforce
Handling sexual harassment issues will be an emerging challenge in a diversified workforce. Employers need to invest in training and building a gender-neutral work culture, as it is directly linked to the organization's brand image.
From Collective to Personal: Employee Development and Talent Retention
The focus is shifting from collective to personal in building effective networks, employee development, and talent retention. Organizations want to retain talented employees, yet expect them to take responsibility for their development. HR professionals must understand employees' expectations and aspirations and align them with the organization's opportunities and business realities.
Technology and Strategic Contribution
Technology is mainstream in HR processes, but the challenge is to remain unaffected by overhyped technology, using it selectively while considering its overall impact on people's behavior. HR is expected to contribute strategically to the business. The focus should be on minimal efforts that yield high business impact rather than high efforts with low impact.
Judicial Trends and Labor Judgments
Alongside HR trends, focus, and CHRO priorities in 2019, this edition includes a special feature: the much sought-after yearly compilation of around 700 important labor judgments of 2018. This is essential for all HR professionals, selected after reviewing thousands of pages from various law journals and summarizing the central points into a few lines. The judicial trend remains the same as last year, with a clear message of zero tolerance for unethical practices and indiscipline.
