SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA and MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA and SINGAPORE and HONG KONG, CHINA and NEW YORK, NY and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 05/25/16 — , a leading Multinational Talent Management Software provider, today announced the launch of “Talent Lab 3: Organisational performance — how can HR move the needle?” The latest Talent Lab topic highlights HR–s current contributions to and potential influence over business performance by sourcing input from HR leaders as well as non-HR C levels including CIOs and CFOs.
According to Deloitte–s , business leaders currently give HR a D+ (an average of 1.32 on a five-point scale) for how inadequately they are keeping up with business needs. In Talent Lab 3, PageUp brings together HR thought leaders, executives, business analysts and subject matter experts to debate and discuss key issues related to whether HR should set and execute organisational strategy — and if so, how. Through a series of thought-provoking video interviews, blog posts and discussion forums, Talent Lab contributors will add their unique voices and opinions to the dialogue on how HR can spearhead organisational performance.
“HR has been under fire for quite some time now, especially when it comes to alignment with business outcomes. Despite acknowledging this, HR in most organisations still has not been able to keep up with today–s fast-paced and evolving business environment,” said Sylvia Vorhauser-Smith, senior vice president of Global Research at PageUp and creator of PageUp–s Talent Lab initiative. “Our latest Talent Lab topic will explore whether the changes that HR is implementing, such as transforming employee performance management and tapping into analytics to inform workforce strategy, will be sufficient to impact organisational outcomes and make a real difference.”
Talent Lab 3 addresses HR hot issues such as:
What business outcomes HR should take responsibility for.
Whether changes to performance management will result in increased goal alignment and improved organisational performance.
How individuals and organisations can keep up with the pace of learning in order to deliver on business strategy.
Whether HR is effectively tapping into the power of people analytics.
What HR can learn from other business functions, such as Marketing, Finance, IT and Operations.
Each quarter, PageUp–s Talent Lab poses tough topics in an effort to share innovative thinking that will help HR professionals prepare for the business challenges of the future. The success of the first two Talent Labs illustrates the need among the HR and business communities for additional insights into top talent management issues. In Talent Lab 1, experts from leading organisations such as Queensland Rail and the Australian Red Cross tackled the question of whether, in a hyper-connected world, HR is disconnected, highlighting such issues as HR–s ability or inability to optimize fully integrated HR and talent management systems. Talent Lab 2 addressed the conundrum of employee engagement, touching on topics like the “perk era” of the 1990s and aligning company values to foster deeper engagement.
