During today’s uncertain and often overwhelming times, some would argue that HR has more on its plate than ever before. In fact, according to a recent study, 91% of HR leaders say their workload has increased. But as always, HRO Today is here to help, with sage advice from other HR leaders that are tackling today’s challenges with success.
In Navigating the Next Generation of HR Issues, Magen Gicinto, SVP of people strategy and culture at Nisos, explores ways to combat candidate deepfakes and remote polywork. She says cases of employment fraud have already surfaced, with workers securing remote positions using fabricated identities. When it comes to polywork, employees juggle several roles—sometimes under different aliases—and collect multiple paychecks without executing their responsibilities. Gicinto shares strategies to identify potential fraud and enhance identity verification in order to protect organizations from bots and polywork.
CPO of Deputy Sejal Patel Daswani discusses the importance of rethinking HR strategies to keep pace with today’s ever-changing world. In People Leaders Should Be “Productizing” HR, she says many organizations are beginning to explore “productizing” HR programs to deliver proactive and flexible solutions that adapt to evolving needs and long-term goals. She outlines how to do this in three steps: Identify problems; create a continuous feedback loop; and facilitate cross-functional collaboration. Be sure to take a closer look at the story as she provides real-time examples throughout.
And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our HRO Today Forum preview story, Talent, Tech, and Tomorrow, since the goal of our annual confab has always been to gather senior HR leaders together to share best practices and ideas. This year there are sessions that will provide insight into the evolution of work, ways to build trust, leveraging community partnerships, and more. Learn more about each and hope to see you in San Antonio at the end of the month!
Until next time,
Debbie Bolla
SVP and Editorial Director
