2018

I recently read an article in Workforce Management (2008) that examined what human resources will look like a decade from now. Nine thought leaders and HR executives were brought together to make these predictions. The key forecasts include:

• Collaboration to build strong relationships through social networks and wikis
• Work arrangements will be more adaptive and informal
• Global values being defined so they are easily understood by employees across the globe
• Corporate social responsibility to avoid the crisis of today to ensure fairness
• Hiring and training will be tied to the bottom line and will be virtual, global and just-in-time
• Leadership development will be key given that leaders will be held accountable for their decisions
• Benefits will need to be tailored to meet diverse needs and attract talent

As I explored this article, I identified that EPI is positioned well for 2018. EPI is building a social network infrastructure, we are a virtual team that is adaptable and informal, and many of our clients are global. Given that leadership development is a niche at EPI, we can help HR executives and professionals prepare their leaders for tomorrow. We have developed numerous, customized leadership programs that closes leadership gaps and develop leaders to take a collaborative approach where they engage employees and impact overall organizational performance.

Our clients testify that EPI is a strategic partner that helps their organizations recruit, manage and retain talent and we are positioned to help you into the next decade.
