What exactly was Web 1.0? \u00a0I honestly can\u2019t even remember. \u00a0I barely even remember Web 2.0 other than it was the advent of user interactivity so minimally executed that today\u2019s teenagers would not even recognize it as internet. Oh, wait – I totally forgot that today\u2019s teenagers no longer care about the internet. \u00a0Here\u2019s the history and future of the HR Portal from the past 10 years, into the next 10 years:<\/p>\n
My point is that the HR portal is a bit of an stupid idea. \u00a0Apologies to all of the HR portal professionals out there, but nobody goes to the HR portal by choice. \u00a0We don\u2019t find extraordinary satisfaction by checking our process diagrams and compliance mandates. \u00a0The fact of the matter is that nobody cares until they have to. \u00a0HR has had a habit of over communication. \u00a0We do have compliance stuff, and since nobody cares about the HR stuff, we think we have to pressure them into caring.<\/p>\n
HR has it all wrong. \u00a0Managers and employees do care about stuff – just not the annual programs we drive them hard on, and not about the compliance stuff we won\u2019t stop pestering them about. \u00a0Employees and managers do care about giving and receiving public recognition. \u00a0They do care about the things they are supposed to do that benefit others, like real time feedback and doing transactions if they are easy to do. \u00a0All we really have to do is make it simple, mobile, social, and relevant.<\/p>\n
Simplicity<\/b>: \u00a0This should be the mantra of HR. \u00a0K.I.S.S. \u00a0In many of our organizations, HR is the most at fault for writing 10 paragraph emails when 3 sentences and a link to more explanation would suffice. \u00a0We\u2019ve made it so hard for any manager or employee to comply with HR policies and procedures that it\u2019s no wonder they don\u2019t like us.
\nMobility<\/b>: \u00a0This could be part of simplicity, but it\u2019s more important than that. \u00a0The next couple of generations aren\u2019t going to want to do anything if it\u2019s not on their phone or tablet. \u00a0Oh, who and I kidding. \u00a0Better make they their wearable device.
\nSocial<\/b>: \u00a0We need to figure out how to embed social in everything. \u00a0There\u2019s a #HR case management example above. \u00a0How about social real time feedback? \u00a0How about getting rid of competency models and using social expert profiles or having peers evaluate profiles like they do on LinkedIn? \u00a0Huge HR constructs that take 20 FTE\u2019s to manage annually are dying. \u00a0In with the social crowd wisdom! \u00a0The sooner the better!
\nRelevance<\/b>: \u00a0Can we stop with the HR stuff already and figure out what our employees and managers really want? \u00a0These are simply avenues to engage them in our processes. \u00a0Let\u2019s take employee recognition as a launching point to rewards. \u00a0Let\u2019s use social feedback to get people interested in performance. \u00a0Let\u2019s use LinkedIn-like profiles as an entry point to talent mobility conversations.<\/p>\n
Attention spans are decreasing every year. \u00a0If we choses to bore people to death, we\u2019ll just be the same HR in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
