Digital HR & Future of Work
Fast-moving, important trends are impacting the world of work around us. Technology is rapidly transforming our jobs. To stay relevant, HR needs to develop new digital capabilities, mindsets, and behaviors. Played well, these trends offer rich opportunities for those who are able to create a high-impact digital HR strategy. In this course, you'll study six real-world examples of digital HR interventions that have increased the quality and efficiency of HR processes and services, improved employee experience (EX), and delivered business impact through increased productivity, profitability, and customer & employee satisfaction. You'll also learn what great EX consists of, the skills you need to create it, and how to help your organization improve its digital maturity.
Design Thinking & Employee Experience
Employee experience (EX) directly influences employee engagement, motivation, and morale, which all impact the employees’ ability to perform. In today’s highly competitive environment, you can gain a much-needed advantage by turning employee knowledge into actionable insights on how to better attract, retain and develop your talent. This course teaches you how to use the design thinking process to deliver a superb employee experience that advances HR and the business. It provides you with all the tools and techniques you need to understand your internal customers and design solutions that create memorable experiences throughout the employee journey. You will also learn how to create a robust EX strategy and build an EX function from scratch, taking into account the current maturity level of your organization and the resources available to you.
Automation in HR
You’re not just looking to innovate your HR practices and create business impact, you want to do it in the most efficient way. This is where technology and automation come in. In this course you will learn how to map workflows and design automations in order to improve and optimize your HR processes. This will help you create operational efficiency while designing customer-centric solutions, and will leave you with more time to make an impact.
Digital Change Management
As an HR professional, you can't enable the digital agenda without mastering digital change management. To be successful, you need to understand digital transformation, identify barriers to technology adoption, and manage (the impact of change on) your stakeholders. In this course, you will gain the knowledge and skills you need to support the business through digital change initiatives. You'll learn how to minimize resistance to change, build commitment and enthusiasm, and align the change with your organizational culture. As a result, you'll be able to effect change faster and have a higher success rate.
Hacking HR: Developing Digital Expertise
Digital transformation is as much about a mindset shift for HR, as it is about the increased use of technology. In these modules, you will learn what success looks like for forward-looking HR professionals and build the foundations to achieve it. We will help you develop the digital mindset, skill set and behaviors you need to become a confident digital innovator and drive the organization forward when it comes to digital initiatives.You will learn methods to increase your digital savviness, map your own skills on a digital mindset model, learn to run an HR hackathon, and you will even learn various ways to ‘hack’ HR to increase its impact and effectiveness.
