3. To start with…..
“HR is still far from being a businesspartner.
According to research by Mercer among five hundred HR directors,
HR departments spend only 15 percent of their time on strategic
interventions. Despite this, 65 percent convince themselves they
indeed are a strategic partner.”
“HR is nog lang geen businesspartner.
HR afdelingen besteden slechts 15 procent van hun tijd aan strategische interventies.
Desondanks maakt 65 procent zichzelf wijs wel degelijk een strategische partner te zijn.
Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van Mercer onder vijfhonderd HR-directeuren.”

19. HR ready for reversed engineering?
Traditional: employer claims flexibility
and working hours
On arrival: selfemployer decides
where and when he is available
(examples: graphic designers,
software engineers)
Upcoming: web- and social media
enabled availability apps (example:
homecare services)
Future:
Mercer 18

20. HR ready for Social Media?

21. The New HR Reality: The New Reality
“The ‘new reality’ is a world with
manifold power centers,
characterized by a high degree of
volatility and the entrance (and exit)
of players in the global race for
competitiveness; changing social
behaviors of the millennial
generation; a worldwide scarcity in
commodities and natural resources;
reshaped roles of governments; and
new social and environmental
demands on business.” (WEF 2011)
The end of work-life balance:
Live-work-care-life integration
