Are you seeing HR bringing more people in from the Marketing field due to the synergies needed in this new work environment?

Next Gen #HR talent coming from #Marketing #Softwareengineering #communications #analytics

next generation of HR professionals will be digital. Livechats & instant responses to show employee needs are prioritized just as much as customers.#FutureOfWork

@katey_hopper your re so right! We are experiencing a live tweet chat and to follow with a transcript of our discussion. I can see this being used in a team meeting with #HR

Nextgen HR pros will need to be UX experts; create HR tools people love to use.

I think the next generation of HR is going to come from other departments, especially markteting @IBMSmtWorkforce #FutureOfWork

@lanebillings absolutely! where you start to see HR taking on almost more of a marketing role!

@jcmeister Oh yeah! For example, in social media marketing - we also have to include social listening + data measurement then provide actionable insights back to the business - same would go for HR data. You'll need an HR data translator :)

Does this mean #HR should be recruiting more in #Marketing departments to ensure they have this skill?

@katey_hopper imagine running HR support for employees the way that airlines operate cust support on twitter. "chat" a challenge, get an instant response.

Looks like curation of data is another new skill for #futureofwork

@katey_hopper agreed! A digital focus is key, as almost half of the workforce can be classified as millennial.

Next gen #HR professionals will need to be digitally savvy - I'm thinking online forms, forums, livechat, social. A lot of overlap with marketing. #outthinkchat

Fantastic ideas. Would love to hear your thoughts on the latest questions posted above!

@jcmeister I think Marketing & HR can help each other. Recruiting is essentially marketing. You have to go to where your consumers are, understand and communicate w/ them in order to get the candidates w/ the right skills.

@StephanieWatki5 I agree!

New roles range from Data Scientist Head of Employee Experience and Marketing and Internal Comms

@jcmeister how are these new roles interacting with other departments?

What others roles does everyone see being created in HR in response to #digital #HR #futureofwork

@jcmeister Yes, Jeanne - A data scientist will be critical. Someone has to be able to provide actionable insights behind the HR data

@kaitlinnoe I see new roles interacting in a cross functional way some under the head of Employee Experience as in @Airbnb example in @forbes

@PhyliciaTeymer LinkedIn had a report that in 2015 "data scientist" was the most in demand job.

@PhyliciaTeymer and it is booming clear #HR is starting to recruit more computer software engineers to join the #HR team

@DanSchawbel And @HBR says Data Scientist is also one of the most highly paid jobs for #futureofwork

@PhyliciaTeymer really intrigued about how the role of data scientist takes shape within an HR context...imagine they would have a wealth of insights on employee performance and success factors. #outthinkchat

New HR roles are necessary to bring back a sense of community in the office. Office outings? Happy hours? Development opportunities? Check. #FutureOfWork

@DanSchawbel Nice, stat, Dan. The "basic" skills necessary to be a data scientist will need also need be understood by #HR leaders, too.

@lanebillings Lane, yes a lot of data. I'd also like to see how a data scientist would incorporate future "wearable" data, such as fitbit data of employees, and what actions/steps could be taken from it.

I totally agree - and how do we think about taking technologies like streaming video mobile as well?

Good point! We would love to hear what you think about our latest questions in the chat - seems like you have a lot of great insight into HR

yes! getting a remote workforce comfortable with #streamingvideo is an equally important movement.

mu@lanebillings Lane, if I could Favorite this multiple times I would. We need our leaders to embrace transparency through video. It's builds the both the org & individual brand & brand community.

yes teams need to be using #streamingvideo and #collaboration platforms to embed these as a new way of working #futureofwork

HR Teams working together across Marketing, Real Estate & IT See my Forbes: http://onforb.es/1rp... #outthinkchat

A1: HR teams can now find key insights on existing or potential employees by analyzing the vast amount of unstructured social media data. #outthinkchat

And we are seeing the new role of a Data Scientist in the #HR team

it's impacting the way we evaluate employee performance -- moving to mobile optimized feedback platforms and even impacting the frequency of evaluations.

Yep. We're just converting it as HR SCIENTIST" role, which tends to discover and implement new strategies in HR Management and using database as well as managing unstructured database.

Teams have to be more agile and leaders have to be more flexible and open @IBMSmtWorkforce #outthinkchat

This helps much in the field of recruitment while we, HRs looking out for experienced candidates, we can REDUCE the time spent with the candidates for the interview.

Digital is making #HR a lot more measureable and engaging than the past. It forces HR teams to be innovative and responsive in real time @IBMSmtWorkforce #outthinkchat

A5: With predictive analytics, proactive HR professionals can determine probability of individuals leaving the company. #outthinkchat

Excellent talk by @GinniRometty on power of cognitive to change the @futureworkplace http://bit.ly/1V16jS...

@IBMWatson is one great example of using data in #financial services #legal #retail #healthcare #futureofwork

You would hope so. I think if they want better employees than seeing what works and what doesn't based off of analytical data needs to be something they start doing.

Are many of you still analyzing data in spreadsheets? If not, what are you using? Are you able to make predictions from it?

Hurdles in making progress include both a mindset and skill set shift on understanding the power of data for #HR #futureofwork

does anyone have one example of how they are using #HR data to change how they are sourcing candidates or retaining employees?

Absolutely, I agree! Mobile & cloud particularly are making HR processes more on-the-go

Very true! Thanks for your input. Make sure to post your answers below the question so everyone can see what you have to say :) - AG

@kaitlinnoe yes #HR is being transformed to focus on the experience rather than just a focus on efficiencies
