The world of work, with all its demands and tasks for each individual, is changing at breakneck speed. The advent of new technologies such as AI-based tools requires HR employees to have a wide range of new skills. Technical and digital skills play an important role in successfully shaping the HR management of the future. In an increasingly networked and digital world, the ability to deal with technologies and innovations is essential. This includes certain basic digital skills and, depending on the position, role and sector in HR work, also more in-depth specialist knowledge, for example in dealing with AI or managing large amounts of data. HR analytics will also continue to gain in importance, but certain “classic” skills in creativity, agility or problem-solving skills will also be increasingly in demand.
Recruitment used to be a time-consuming business: HR employees spent hours sifting through applications, conducting interviews and evaluating potential candidates. This is changing fundamentally with the use of intelligent chatbots. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and the automation of processes are on the rise in German companies and their HR departments. Only a few companies are currently using AI in HR, but many have planned the use of AI-based tools. The Leibniz Institute for Economic Research ifo conducted a Randstad-ifo HR manager survey on the use of AI in HR departments in the third quarter of 2023. Although the results showed that only 5% of the companies surveyed were using AI in HR at that time, a quarter of the companies were planning to use it. AI-based chatbots are among the up-and-coming technologies here. As intelligent virtual assistants, these text-based dialogue systems can significantly relieve the burden on HR departments by taking over time-consuming HR tasks. Chatbots are placed in the respective platform – such as Microsoft Teams or the intranet. They are able to generate and curate content. In this function, chatbots can take over the company’s standardised communication processes, such as the written exchange with applicants. Read more
Stable employee retention is a top issue at management level today and a decisive factor for corporate success. For many companies, the issue is exerting enormous pressure in view of the increasing shortage of skilled labour and rising staff turnover. If employees resign or have already quietly resigned and are only doing the bare minimum of their daily workload, this costs the company money. According to the Netigate study on employee engagement from 2023, the intention to resign has increased and one in four people are considering quitting in the current year. How can a company counteract this trend and retain its employees in the long term?
In order for a company and its organization to be future-proof and marketable and to be able to constantly question, develop and change accordingly, it needs, among other things, a lively learning culture. Nowadays, with all the fast-moving changes and requirements, organizations and their employees should continuously learn and tap into their knowledge. The focus of change is therefore shifting more towards the employee, and with it the continuous learning of the individual and the development of knowledge and skills. Can the company’s current knowledge and learning tools provide employees with the necessary resources and opportunities for continuous learning and knowledge reference? Or do other formats, tools and methods need to be used and practiced?
An essential backbone of manufacturing SMEs are production employees who are proficient in the applications and have the relevant experience. These employees are crucial for the innovation and competitiveness of the company. In order to keep pace with the many changes and transformation processes in the competitive environment and to fully exploit the innovative capacity of the company, it is important to promote and permanently develop the competences of the employees in production. This can be implemented in a focused manner with strategic competence management. Read more
Competence management is important in a company to ensure that employee resources are used optimally. Through competence management, the skills and competences of employees can be developed and used in a focused way. Competence management is a demanding task. How does the company know what competencies a person has outside their field of work? And how can these competences be used professionally?
In order to solve these and many other challenges in competence management without spending a lot of time and personnel, the use of skill management tools can be a useful method: The right tools ensure that skills management can be implemented efficiently. Digital tools can be used for every step along the employee life cycle and significantly improve the results. The tools start at different points along the employee’s career path. Which tool or mix of tools a company needs depends entirely on individual needs. All-in-one solutions are often very powerful for SMEs. The key question in the selection process is: What requirements should be met by the competence management system?
In recent years, rating portals have become increasingly important for a company’s image – especially as an employer. How employees, former employees and applicants have rated a company as an employer has become an indispensable source of information for potential applicants. The ratings can be submitted anonymously and free of charge and can be accessed worldwide and permanently. Rating portals thus create enormous market transparency and have a considerable influence on whether and how a company is perceived as an attractive employer. The ratings of one’s own company on the various online platforms have a strong signal effect in the environment of potential applicants and customers. Read more
