According to research, 47% of executives opine that IT is going to have a major role on their sales performance along with their workplace trends. Organizations plan to use HR to strengthen workforce capabilities, enhance candidate experience, and build data security. Here are the top HR practices for 2020.

1.     Run Data Analytics

Going forward, expect HR professionals to rely more on data-driven decisions for attracting and retaining the best professionals. In 2020, companies are going to run analytics tools so they can identify patterns and trends that can help them with the following key considerations:

  • What is the cause behind the rising employee absenteeism?
  • What makes the employee engagement level so low?
  • Why are employees leaving so frequently?

2.     Build AI-Powered Solutions

The development of smart, AI-powered solutions is predicted to generate considerable value for the HR departments. Chatbots can save time in the recruitment process where they can respond to the standard questions from the applicants.

Companies often take a great deal of time in screening from a wide pool of applicants—a single hire alone requires the recruiter to devote 23 hours. With AI, HR can filter CVs and resumes by considering skills, job description, and other relevant factors. These solutions can also allow recruiters to match the right candidates based on their personality traits.

3.     Include Gamification

HR managers intend to formulate their internal communication and training plans by using motivational method. For this purpose, gamification is critical for companies for recruiting, onboarding, and training. Rather than using traditional and dull approaches, they will use fresh and entertaining methodologies. For example, instead of using complex training content, interactive and fun questions and answers can be used to capture the interest of employees. In this way, companies can get a better know-how of how informed are these employees.

4.     Promote On the Job Training

Employees are in need of continuous training, mentoring, and skill development so they are well-equipped to perform in their jobs. Continuous learning adds a lot to the skill-set of employees. In this way, they become more flexible to the working environment and can be prepared to accept various roles across the organization. This year, companies will spend a considerable part of their HR budget in geo fencing, augmented reality, and virtual reality to modernize on-the-job training.

5.     Incorporate Continuous Performance Management

The practice of yearly reviews and feedback is on decline. Companies are undergoing major transformation in terms of performance management to perform well in areas like talent retention, employee engagement, and productivity. It facilitates periodic interaction between the manager and employer, boosting timely feedback, course-correction, and development opportunities. By the end of 2020, CPM-based processes are estimated to grow expansively to build a strong work culture.
