Future of work and HR Working in a complex and evolving world of work
Guess the year! “We are just at the beginning of the revolution. It is advancing by leaps and bounds, gaining in impetus with each year. It is giving us more machines, faster machines, machines increasingly more intricate and complex. Life in the future will be speeded up infinitely beyond the present!” Raymond B Fosdick, President of the Rockefellar Foundation, 1922
Guess the year! “There are so many new inventions indicating displacement of labor that technological unemployment may be an even more serious problem of the near future than it is now.” President Herbert Hoover, 1932
Guess the year! “Oh dear,” said a poor girl, as she held up a salt bag to my view, “this was sewed by a machine; it is too bad; poor girls will soon have nothing to do. I know sights and sights of girls who used to make their living by sewing these bags and other coarse things, and now they are all out of work; it is too bad.” New York tailor quoted in a newspaper article, 1850

New realities in the world of work1 • High performing organisations: data and tech integration. More opportunity to outperform peers (“leaders in the pack”). • Different work options: freelancing, “gig-economy”, mutli-channel workforce strategy, new team-based models. • Life-long development: older workers as role-modelling behaviour, increased opportunity to train and learn, mentoring. • Automation: technology and talent augmentation. Productivity, and product opportunity. Changing legal landscape • Ethical impacts: Work, society and public policy clash – balancing multi-stakeholder needs, new regulation (GDPR) 1.

The people profession: exploring the state of play
The people profession in 2018 What helps them to uphold strong professional values? What helps practitioners to achieve career success?
93% of practitioners have experience of working in a field outside the people profession. • Personal confidence is a key barrier to career progression.
2 in 5 practitioners feel over-skilled for their role, while 1/5 of those in the early stages of their career feel under-skilled
What factors contribute to career success? • Experience outside the profession and right level of skills for the role are linked to progression. • CIPD members are more likely than non-members to be promoted and to have a high sense of meaning in their work.
How can CIPD better support practitioners in their career development?
2 in 5 practitioners have stated their views about an ethical issue to a manager in the past year • 31% say managers in their organisation often demonstrate unethical behaviour. • 13% have gone against managers’ decisions if they violated ethical standards.
Over 6 in 10 say their job gives them the opportunity to fully express themselves as a professional
Nearly 3 in 10 feel there’s a conflict between what their organisation expects of them and their professional beliefs
