#HRTechConf A Look at How AI is Powering HR and the Future Workplace - Workology

#HRTechConf A Look at How AI is Powering HR and the Future Workplace - Workology How Does AI Power HR and the Future Workforce? During HR Tech in Vegas this week, I attended a session held by Marcus Sawyerr, President and CEO of YOSS USA, on AI Powering the New Workforce. YOSS is a freelancer platform co-created by The Adecco Group and Microsoft. It is a robust end-to-end solution that gives both enterprises and freelancers the right tools and services to maximize productivity, manages their projects and talents, and harnesses the benefits of more flexible ways of working. Sawyerr is a subject matter expert on digital innovation in the world of work, and he led a discussion on how AI and other technology disruptions are shaping the future of work along with the implications for HR and business leaders. Given that this particular conference is focused on technology, and that AI is a hot topic in a lot of workplaces these days, I was excited to see this session on the #HRTech conference agenda. AI and human resources is a topic I’ve been fascinated by for some time, and I’ve written about it in “9 Ways to Use Artificial Intelligence in Recruiting and HR” and “30+ Talent Acquisition Technologies That Use #ArtificialIntelligence.” In Sawyerr’s session, he talked about the ideal notion of “recruiting in your sleep.” As in having AI technology a company can leverage to collect the data, perform administrative tasks, and also connect directly with candidates to receive very relevant, shortlisted candidate profiles. How could this change the role of the HR Specialist? Machine learning has the potential to free up not just time spent on administrative tasks, but the speed data collection and therefore reduce time-to-hire, something that’s incredibly important in this tight talent marketplace. Those attending the session at the conference know and recognize that AI will transform our HR and recruiting function as well as the larger business. About 80% of the room raised their hands when Sawyerr asked attendees. I think this is interesting and if this same question was asked at a non-technology HR conference such as SHRM Annual, I think the hands raised would be much, much less. Recruiters need to consider where they have the most value, specifically in empathy, understanding and critical thinking. These aren’t things we can teach AI (at least, for now), so these human components of human resources aren’t going anywhere. In HR, considering your current skill set, what you want to focus on improving are these human-focused skills, your emotional intelligence, your adaptability, and your ability to critically look at big picture strategies within your company. How Does AI Power HR and the Future Workforce? So how does AI power HR and the future workforce? It goes beyond recruiting. Consider that AI can perform tasks like scheduling, shift assignments, andâ€"given enough informationâ€"“learn” how to communicate with employees in the same way a recruiter or HR specialist would. Technology that was formerly available to developers is quickly becoming commonplace. Once people are in the door of your company, AI can impact the productivity and efficiency of your workforce on a large scale. What we see happening in the future, personal development for employees is put into the employee’s hands, enabling HR and team leaders to spend their time on higher level tasks. With AI, training and development can give your workforce the tools they need to progress in their careers. Of course, there’s an impact on the workforce in general based on AI. Jobs that are high frequency, high volume, and highly predictable, lend themselves to AI. Screening employees for recruiters? Done. Transportation tracking and scheduling? Done. Nobody really knows how many jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence, but we all agree that for every job replaced, a new job or skill has been created. Consider the positive impact of AI on customer service, starting with an AI chatbot that frees a customer service staff to work on more personal and escalated customer issues. Where Can You Leverage AI within Your HR and Recruiting Business? If you take a look at every aspect of the HR value chain, ask how you can alleviate the repetitive tasks in order to spend more time with candidates. One of the major future skills needed will be critical thinking. Your company’s AI can handle the basics, we will need to upskill our human workforce to handle the complex. In order to leverage our human skills of empathy, critical thinking and creativity, someone is going to have to train AI models on new strategies and new developments. There aren’t enough people currently being educated for AI and we see that in a skills shortage, so if you want to be adaptive for the future workforce, this is something you should consider now. Additionally, when it comes to data protection and privacy, many companies are still playing catch up on who owns data and how to protect it. The bottom line: Have a clear AI strategy. We have historically seen “mobile first” and that is rapidly shifting to “AI first,” Be prepared to tackle the obstacles your company will face with artificial intelligence. At the end of the day, we’re still dealing with people and people have feelings that must be considered when you’re adapting to a new technology. I think the larger question is how do we educate ourselves on the future of AI and how our employees, as well as ourselves, can fill in the gaps after a new automation or AI strategy is implemented for the business. As an individual, I think the concern is also about how do I protect myself from becoming obsolete. Your employees will likely have these same questions which is where I believe training, development and continuous learning come into play.

Working from home, managing your manager remotely, and Covid-19

Working from home, managing your manager remotely, and Covid-19 Working from home Working from home Covid-19 has many employees working from home. Because this is a new practice for many, I wanted to share some best practices to ensure success as you work from home. Working from home isn’t anything new. Folks have been working from home successfully since the dawn of time. I can imagine that early cavemen were chipping flint arrowheads in their caves and then leaving the safety of the cave to barter and trade. We have come a long way since the caveman days. Ultimately, we want to maximize our effectiveness and remain in good standing with our managers. Not for all employees I will be the first to say that working from home isn’t for all employees. It sounds like fun to many, but it comes with its own set of challenges. When employees make a request to work from home, HR and managers take into consideration a few standard considerations before granting employees work from home status. Even though these are strange times, if your manager has these ingrained concerns, so should you. There are a few standard considerations and guidelines that managers use when granting work from home status. When employees have been declined a request to work from home, the reasons often boil down to a few specific reasons.   I will explain why these questions come up and why many requests to work from home are declined.   There are too many distractions at work. Can I work from home? If you are an employee that is distracted at work, it is assumed you will be distracted in the home. Many employees will request they have the ability to work from home because they are too distracted in the office by other employees. For most managers, being distracted is a matter of discipline. The ability to focus in the office will increase your managers confidence that you can focus at home. Ultimately it is our managers perception that matters, not ours.   I’d like to work from home so I can take care of my children.   This is a request I hear on a regular basis. Most managers will decline a work from home request for this reason. In the companys mind, working from home isn’t a substitute for daycare. Employers want their employees focused on the work between 9-5 because that is what they are paying their employees for. This is why some companies provide daycare at work. If someone has a young child at home and wants to work from home, we require they either have daycare or someone at the house to take care of the child. This is about focus and distractions. I realize that with the CoronaVirus many schools are shut down and employees are working from home and taking care of a young child. This can’t be helped, and I would like to believe that employers are sympathetic. That being said, this is still a consideration. We don’t want our managers thinking, “Well Tom has 2 kids at home, we can’t expect much work from him.” Both of the above categories boil down to distractions in the home. Managers just want to know that if they assign you work, you will accomplish the work and meet the deadlines. By being proactive with your list of deliverables, you take away any doubts about being distracted at home.   Work from home successfully Whether you work in the office or at home, managers have expectations about us as employees. Those expectations will be different for different managers, but the common points managers are sensitive to regardless of working from home or in the office are: Productivity Is your work turned in on time and error-free? Can you get along with the rest of the team? Do you add positively to the culture of the team/company? Are you available for phone calls and responding to emails and chats in a timely manner? Dependability and the ability to get along 1st and foremost, managers want dependability and the ability to get along with others. If you can accomplish these two goals, you are 95% there and ahead of the pack. The way to achieve this is to be in constant contact with your manager. Whether via email, phone, or video chat, stay connected. Here are few things you want to communicate on a consistent and regular basis. Your timeline and cadence may vary, but the more you can communicate your progress the better. How to establish dependability Monday: Email your manager and explain to them what you are going to accomplish for the remainder of the week. Without mentioning it to your manager, take your distractions into mind. This email will confirm with your manager that you are working on the correct priorities. If you submit 5 goals and your manager tells you they like 4 and swap out the 5th for a different goal, be excited. Your manager is engaged with your work and you won’t be working on the wrong priority. The key here is that you need to be proactive with this list. Don’t wait for them to tell you what to do. If they swap out 4 of the 5 items, be really happy because they just saved you a week’s worth of wasted work. Friday: Email your manager the following: What you proposed you were going to accomplish during the last cycle Explain what you accomplished during the last cycle What you plan on accomplishing the next cycle (next Mon â€" Friday) Describe what you would have done differently to improve the performance of the last cycle. This self-retrospective accomplishes a couple of things that are very important: Communicates to your manager that you are trying to improve. It takes away the managers opportunity to lecture you on how to improve. Consideration If you set a deadline at the beginning of the cycle and realize halfway through the cycle that you are not going to accomplish the goal, tell your manager ASAP that this deadline is going to be pushed. Waiting till the end of the cycle to inform your manager that a deadline was missed is a sure-fire way to let them know you are not dependable. As soon as you suspect a deadline will be missed, just inform your manager with an update on why it will be missed and when the project will be complete. This allows your manager to weigh in on your set of priorities and set expectations with other employees who may be depending on your deliverable. The last thing we want to do is surprise your manager with bad news and set them up for a situation where they need to deliver bad news to their manager about a missed deadline at the last minute.   If your manager assigns you a task list and you feel you wont be able to meet the deadline, it is OK to speak up. Explain to your manager, The company assigned me 7 things to get done this week, I am pretty confident I can get 5 done. Id like to propose we prioritize the top 5 and I work on the last 2 next week.   The point is to have a discussion and set realistic expectations. Not a pajama party If you are going to be in a video chat or telephone call with a colleague or manager, avoid wearing your pajamas. We are being paid by our employer and although you may believe you are effectively working in your pajamas with no shower, you wont be perceived as such. Managers are paying you for your skillset and your professionalism. I am not saying you need to wear a suit. But we dont want to go to the other end of the spectrum and allow our manager to think we are not taking our job seriously. How you dress is a reflection of who you are. When we all return to work in the office, we want our manager to have the right impression of us. This isnt going to come from your Batman pajamas. Like all parts of life, if you do what you say you are going to do and have a good attitude about it, you will be successful. Just be proactive in keeping connected to your manager. Don’t wait, reach out to your manager! See you at the after-party, HRNasty nasty: an unreal maneuver of incredible technique, something that is ridiculously good, tricky and manipulative but with a result that can’t help but be admired, a phrase used to describe someone who is good at something. “He has a nasty forkball.
