ScottMadden Insight: 2013 HR Trends

ATLANTA - April 23, 2013 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., a general management consulting firm, recently published, “2013 HR Trends (http://www.scottmadden.com/insight/620/2013-HR-Trends.html).” This report explores how best-in-class HR organizations are approaching this year and provides guidance on how you can align with these trends.

If you are like most HR leaders, you ended 2012 by looking forward, thinking about the strategic goals for your HR organization for 2013. The strategic goals you chose were most likely shaped by a variety of factors, including the state of the economy, the ever-changing nature of the workforce, the need to be agile, and the latest advancements in technology. As we enter into spring, you’ve had a chance to start executing your chosen strategies, and you are likely looking for confirmation that you’re on the right track, or you may already know you need to change course if 2013 is going to be a success.

“There are several areas to focus on in HR right now. Data and analytics, HR business partner role elevation, the use of social media, and leveraging employee engagement are just a few that our clients have targeted and some we believe can make a substantial impact on HR operations within a short period of time,” said Tina Krebs, partner and human resources practice leader at ScottMadden. “Hopefully, most companies have developed a goal for each of these four trends within their HR strategic plan.”

It’s not too late to think about how your organization can get aligned with where leading practice HR organizations are headed. ScottMadden encourages you to take a second look at your 2013 HR strategy and make adjustments today.
