Workday观点:如何解决企业未来的人才? Taking the Next Steps for Tomorrow's Talent
作者:Leighanne Levensaler,workday高级副总裁,企业战略,工作日兼董事总经理兼Workday Ventures联席主管
文章导读:
我和一群商业和教育领袖,参加了在纽约举行的彭博下一个论坛(Bloomberg Next forum)。这次论坛的主题是:在如此大的变革中,我们如何才能更好地培养和支持我们的员工队伍。
它涵盖了一系列挑战:从如何让毕业生更好地为工作做好准备,到如何在人工智能和自动化时代让在职员工重新掌握技能,再到企业和教育工作者如何更好地合作。
在Workday与彭博资讯(Bloomberg Next)密切合作的原因是积极参与寻找解决这些复杂问题的方法。
我们在纽约进行了富有洞察力和启发性的讨论,以下是一些想法:
首先解决当地的问题
我们的世界面临着与劳动力发展有关的重大挑战。最好从当地开始。
例如,
是否有社区大学或贸易学校提供课程,让工人为预期的技能转变做好准备?
您的组织是否可以扩大与当地高等教育学校的沟通,让学生更好地掌握他们所需要的技能?
随着不断的创新,所需技能也不断变化。在Workday,与社区内的大学合作,让技术专家担任客座讲师,帮助学生为现实世界做准备。
寻找外部人才的新来源
企业说他们找不到需要的人才。但问题是否源于只招具有特定高等教育学位或工作经验的候选人?公司需要考虑他们是否过度要求实行纯种招聘。
在Workday,我们已经取得了巨大的成功,这些人才并没有遵循从高中到大学再到职业生涯的传统道路,但事实证明,它们都是出色的同事。多元化和包容性的员工队伍会让工作场所更快乐,并带来更大的商业成果。
从内部来源
一些最优秀的人才不一定能充分发挥他们的潜能或提供充分发展潜能的机会。这就是为什么真正了解自己的才能至关重要。
具体做法:通过定期使用技术来盘点你的员工和他们的技能,并建立一种流动和机会的文化。
拥抱创新的速度
创新对我们所有人来说都是一件好事,但它给劳动力发展带来了挑战。随着不断的创新,所需技能也要不断变化。
问题是,没有很多的公司愿意在重新培训技能中投入更多资金。在Workday和Bloomberg Next的调查中,半数受访企业预计,在应对新兴技术对劳动力影响的计划时,都面临预算紧张。
只有30%的企业和39%的教育工作者表示,他们正在合作帮助员工重新技能和重新培训。
我们可以在如何共同应对创新的影响方面更具创新性。另一个想法是:如何与教育机构的研究人员合作,帮助定义未来在不同行业中的角色?
我们都需要持续学习。学习如何去了解比去了解更好。

I recently joined a group of business and education leaders for a Bloomberg Next forum in New York that focused on how we can work together to best nurture and support our workforces in the midst of so much change.
Aptly named Tomorrow’s Talent, the forum covered a number of timely challenges, ranging from how we can better prepare graduates for the workplace, to how we can reskill current workers in the age of artificial intelligence and automation, to how businesses and educators can better collaborate.
Knowing that people are the heart of every enterprise, we at Workday are passionate about being an active participant in finding the solutions to these complex issues. That’s why we partnered closely with Bloomberg Next on the event, including a study that surveyed business and education leaders’ views on these topics and more. Not surprisingly, the findings confirm there’s a lot more work to do.
So where do we start? I shared some ideas in a blog prior to the forum. Following our insightful and inspiring discussions in New York, here are some additional ideas.
Solve Locally First
Our world faces significant challenges related to workforce development. We’d all like a systematic macro answer. The reality is that these problems are far too broad and complex to be addressed with a single universal solution. It’s best to start working locally to learn and gain momentum.
For example, are there community colleges or trade schools that offer classes that could prepare workers for an anticipated shift in skill sets? Are there local higher education feeder schools that your organization could broaden the dialogue with on how to better prepare students with both the hard and soft skills they need?
With constant innovation comes the constant change of needed skills.
At Workday, we’ve partnered with universities in our communities to have our technologists serve as guest lecturers and help students prepare for the real world. I would encourage all organizations to explore these types of opportunities, because as one participant said, “If you’re sitting still, you’re falling behind.”
Seek Out New Sources of External Talent
Businesses say they can’t find the talent they need. But could the problem stem from always returning to the same pond to fish—a pond that only has candidates with specific types of higher education degrees or job experiences? Companies need to consider whether they are practicing pedigree hiring by over-credentialing job requirements. A willingness to learn “how” is a stronger attribute than a willingness to learn “what,” especially in today’s rapidly changing world.
What’s more, pedigree hiring works against an organization’s efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive workforce. At Workday, we’ve had great success partnering with organizations such as Year Up and Opportunity@Work to gain talent that didn’t follow the traditional path from high school to college to career, yet have proved to be incredible colleagues. We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce makes for a happier workplace and results in greater business outcomes.
Source from Within
Some of our best talent is often right under our noses, but not necessarily in positions that can utilize their full potential or provide the opportunity to grow. That’s why it’s critical to truly know your talent.
How do you do that? By regularly using technology to take inventory of your people and their skills across the organization, democratizing learning experiences so that everyone has access to them, and building a culture of mobility and opportunity. This requires being radically transparent in communicating opportunities for career growth.
Embrace the Velocity of Innovation
Our dear friend, innovation. There’s no stopping it and we don’t want to. Innovation is a great thing for all of us, but it creates challenges in workforce development. With constant innovation comes the constant change of needed skills.
The problem is, not enough companies are willing to put more skin in the game when it comes to reskilling. In the Workday and Bloomberg Next survey, half of the corporate respondents anticipate facing budget constraints when deploying a plan to address the impact of emerging technologies on the workforce. So let me ask this: If a company is willing to put time, money, and resources behind responding to innovations that impact its competitive landscape or business model, why wouldn’t it also invest in innovations that impact its workforce?
Only 30 percent of corporations and 39 percent of educators say they are collaborating to help reskill and retrain employees.
Partnerships with other organizations can help ease the burden. Jon Kaplan, vice president of training and development at Discover Financial Services, discussed how their company is using Guild Education to manage a number of aspects of its recently announced Discover College Commitment program, which provides a full tuition ride for all employees seeking to pursue a university degree online from one of three selected universities.
The program got a lot of interest from the forum audience because it’s truly unique. Consider that only 30 percent of corporations and 39 percent of educators say they are collaborating to help reskill and retrain employees, according to the survey. I’m sure we can be more innovative about how we work together to address the impact of innovation. Another idea: What about partnering with researchers at educational institutions to help define the roles of the future within various industries?
I’ll end this post with one final thought: We all need to be in the business of continuous learning. Dr. Seuss is a favorite in our household with his endless wisdom and clever turns of phrase. And, as the good doctor says, “It’s better to learn how to know than to know.

Workday发布2018年人力资源展望:新技能和更多人员数据 2018 Outlook for HR: New Skills and More People Data随着我们开始新的一年,帮助读者面对业务挑战,我们请Workday高管和合作伙伴提供对未来一年的深刻见解。我们发现,领导层正在重新关注人才管理和招聘,员工经验以及2018年技术和数据在推动工作场所多元化等举措方面的重要作用。
首先是人才竞赛。
寻找和留住高级人才在一个增加工作选择性和竞争的时代将继续成为许多人力资源领导者的首要考虑,许多人力资源领导者,更多的仔细看看需要支持其业务目标的具体技能。
IBM全球工作日实践组长Richard McColl表示:“新技术,尤其是工作和生活的数字化正在推动新技能人才的需求。“人力资源部门必须评估发展中的内部人才与外部雇佣人员之间的平衡,才能使他们获得最快的人才。例如,像学士学位这样的传统要求已经不再是工作的先决条件 - 技能是优先的。事实上,在过去的几年里,在美国雇用的IBM员工中大约有15%没有获得学士学位。“
Alight Solutions Workday产品战略副总裁Nelson Egurrola对此表示赞同,重申公司在内部看待员工的重要性,并确定他们需要填补的具体技能差距,以帮助改善招聘流程。
“我们必须更多地关注有针对性的招聘,以确定真正的人才需求和具体工作所需的基本技能。我们可以使用Glassdoor和LinkedIn等社交媒体网站,将公司需求与候选技能相结合,实现候选人渠道流程的自动化。“
Workday首席人事官员Ashley Goldsmith表示,到2018年,技术和数据将在工作场所多样性方面发挥重要作用。她说:“组织将采用人力资本管理技术,因为它们可以更深入地了解多元化数据,帮助揭示模式和趋势,突出成功和不足之处,并有效跟踪目标。”
“这些工具将帮助企业聚焦多元化和包容性趋势,这对于职场文化和商业成功至关重要。”
随着组织努力在2018年建立尽可能最好的团队并留住最优秀的员工,员工将成为驾驶员的座位。人员经理将需要担任辅导角色,以帮助团队成员发展自己的技能 - 不仅是为了业务的需要,而且是为了进一步实现个人的职业目标。
“如果您能为您的客户和员工创造最佳的体验,那么您的组织更有可能在新的数字时代取得成功。” -
IBM全球Workday实践领导者 - 理查德·麦科尔
Workday公司领导和组织效能副总裁Greg Pryor解释说:“员工将要求选择性,反过来,雇主将依靠技术来提高内部流动性,交叉培训和职业发展机会的透明度,以鼓励和引导员工对新的或不同的角色和职业路线感兴趣“。
行业分析师认为,今年的雇主经验应该是雇主的重中之重,即使这意味着人力资源领导者的转变。IBM的McColl说:“在数字时代,进步是由人和经验驱动的。“换句话说,如果你能为你的客户和你的员工创造最好的体验,你的组织就更有可能在新时代取得成功。经验的重要性意味着我们可能需要重新思考CHRO的作用。CHRO现在处于数字化人员体验业务,无论他们喜欢与否。“
有一件事是肯定的,那就是我们进入2018年:技术将成为更好地洞察员工的关键,这将有助于创建一个更多元化,更有参与性的员工队伍。

As we start a new year of helping our readers face their business challenges, we asked Workday executives and partners for their insights on the year ahead. We found that people leaders are renewing their focus on talent management and recruiting, the employee experience, and the important role technology and data will play in driving initiatives like workplace diversity in 2018.
First up is the talent race. Finding and retaining top talent in an era of increased job optionality and competition will continue to be top of mind for many HR leaders, with many taking a closer look at the specific skills needed to support their business goals.
“New technology and, in particular, the digitization of work and life, is driving a need for new types of talent with new skills,” says Richard McColl, IBM’s global Workday practice leader. “HR must assess what balance of developing internal talent and hiring externally will get them there the quickest. For example, traditional requirements like a bachelor’s degree are no longer the prerequisites for a job—skills are prioritized. In fact, over the past few years, about 15 percent of IBMers hired in the United States haven’t had a bachelor’s degree.”
Nelson Egurrola, vice president of Workday product strategy from Alight Solutions, agreed with this sentiment, reiterating how important it will be for companies to look internally at their workforce and identify the specific skill gaps they need to fill to help improve the recruiting process.
“We must focus more on targeted recruiting in order to identify the true talent need and which underlying skills are required for specific jobs. We can use social media sites like Glassdoor and LinkedIn to intersect company needs with candidate skills to automate the candidate funnel process,” he said.
Workday Chief People Officer Ashley Goldsmith said that in 2018, technology and data will play an important role when it comes to workplace diversity. “Organizations will embrace human capital management technologies because they provide deeper insights into diversity data, help reveal patterns and trends, highlight successes and shortfalls, and enable effective tracking of goals,” she said.
“Such tools will help organizations keep a spotlight on diversity and inclusion trends, which is critical to workplace culture and business success.”
As organizations strive to build the best teams possible and retain their best workers in 2018, employees will be in the driver’s seat. People managers will need to take on coaching roles to help team members evolve their skill sets—not only for the business’s needs but to further their personal career goals as well.
“Your organization is more likely to succeed in the new digital era if you can create the best experiences for your customers and your employees.”
—Richard McColl, IBM’s global Workday practice leader
Greg Pryor, vice president of leadership and organizational effectiveness at Workday, explains, “Employees will demand optionality and in turn, employers will rely on technologies that enable more transparency around internal mobility, cross-training, and career development opportunities to encourage and guide employees interested in new or different roles and career paths.”
Industry analysts agree that the employee experience should be a high priority for employers this year, even if that means a shift for HR leaders. “In the digital age, progress is driven by people and experience,” says IBM’s McColl. “In other words, your organization is more likely to succeed in the new era if you can create the best experiences for your customers and your employees. The importance of experience means we may need to rethink the role of the CHRO. The CHRO is now in the digital people experience business, whether they like it or not.”
One thing is for sure as we head into 2018: Technology will be the key to unlocking better insights into our employees that will help create a more diverse, engaged workforce.
