Here we go! Question 3 on HR http://www.via-cc.at...
Sherri Sirotzky
Are you seeing HR bringing more people in from the Marketing field due to the synergies needed in this new work environment?

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

Jeanne Meister
@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

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

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

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

Phylicia Teymer
@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 :)

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

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

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

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

Stephanie Watkins
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!

Phylicia Teymer
@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!
