September is the time to return after the holidays to a wide range of regular meetings and conferences in Olivia Business Centre, in the main conference room of Olivia Sky Club. One of the very important thematic areas that are constantly present in the program of this place, which is by definition a space of integration and inspiration, is the area of topics related to the management of human capital and social capital, as well as the intensive exploration of talent development opportunities by companies.
On 11 September, from 8.30 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. in Olivia Sky Club (Olivia Tower, 12th floor), a business breakfast will be held.HR Trends 2017. Changing the rules in the digital age“, to which we also invite you with an interview with its organizer, Joanna Bojarska-Buchcic.
The theme of the event will be a presentation “HR Trends 2017. Changing the rules in the digital era”. This is one of Deloitte’s most extensive research projects on talent, leadership and the challenges facing HR departments in the era of the technological revolution.
Monika Bogdanowicz (Komunikacja Olivia Business Centre): Joanna, the next meeting, organized by the American Chamber of Commerce Poland in Olivia Business Centre, will be devoted to strategic human resource management under the title “Strategic HR”. What is the idea behind the meetings and for whom are they organized?
Joanna Bojarska-Buchcic (Managing Partner HR SOLUTIONS GROUP, Regional Director at the American Chamber of Commerce Poland): By taking up the function (Red. Regional Director) in AmCham in April this year, I decided that issues related to strategic human resources management, which I have also been dealing with for 18 years, are so important in the current reality of the development of modern technologies and the rapidly changing labor market, that I decided to create a series of meetings within the Chamber entitled “Strategic Human Resources Management”. “Strategic HR”. Meeting they take place once a month and are dedicated to HR departments as well as management boards.
Their aim is to provide knowledge about modern human resources management and the exchange of experiences between the participants of the meetings, as well as to present modern solutions and global trends in the area of HR.
I hope that the program prepared by me and partner companies for the autumn of this year will be interesting for the participants and will provide knowledge and experience in the areas of m.in. strategic remuneration management, building the environment and employee engagement, as well as the use of modern tools and technologies.
On 30 August, at the Hilton Hotel in Gdańsk, a meeting of HR Directors of key Tri-City companies was held, during which we debated about the challenges faced by modern HR departments and the possibilities on our part, as the Chamber, of supporting these activities by providing interesting knowledge and a platform for the exchange of experience.
This has personally confirmed my conviction that there is indeed a need, and I would like to respond to this need with support as a representative of the House in the region.
Our members are global American companies, which are among the first in the world to experience changes in various areas of management caused by global Polish digitization, which is not without significance, because these trends in organizations are strongly entering our Polish market, which has a great impact on competitive companies, which are somehow forced to implement changes in their organizations.
MB: During your planned meeting, Deloitte will present the “ HR Trends 2017″ Report. HR Trends 2017. Changing the rules for the digital age“. Why and how is this report important for Tri-City business?
JB-B.: Deloitte has been compiling reports on HR trends around the world for years. The report “HR Trends 2017. Changing the rules in the digital age” is the largest study on human capital conducted by Deloitte. The survey surveyed 10,000 employees from 140 countries. This report shows the huge changes that are taking place in the business world, which are dictated by the intensive development of technology and digitization in the world. This actually means a change in the rules of running and managing business, as well as a new role for HR. HR faces major challenges related to building multicultural and multigenerational teams, whose members have very different needs related to functioning both in the business environment and in the company itself. On top of that, there is a technological change that not all generations of employees are ready for. The report shows global trends in HR and our Polish reality.
The change in leaders’ thinking aims to create the organization of the future, both in terms of the work environment, career development opportunities and talent acquisition in a difficult, competitive labor market. It also concerns the implementation of modern technologies that streamline work and improve its efficiency, and thus productivity.
I invited Deloitte to present the report because it is of particular strategic value for people managing human resources in organizations.
The report shows what companies from the Tri-City market will have to face in the coming future. By seeing the trends, you can properly prepare and implement this change in the organization.
It was very important to me to present the report on our Tri-City market, because I believe that it is people who create companies. And being competitive in such a demanding market requires the implementation of activities in the area of building employee engagement, getting to know and satisfying their professional needs.
MB: In your opinion, how can analyses and recommendations for development in the area of HR for companies with different potential be helpful in developing a strategy of action and building the organization of the future?
JB-B.: I believe that market reports are very helpful in building a company’s human resource management strategy. Because of their reliability, they provide information directly from leaders, managers, and employees. We get to know their opinions and opinions on various topics, as well as their needs.
Today’s efficiently managed and effective organization means satisfied and motivated employees, as well as wisely selected tools and technologies that improve and support work, not hinder it. Companies need to undergo a change in the way the employee thinks and perceives within the organization. This involves a change in mentality and principles of managing people. After all, multigenerational teams mean different needs and different ways of management. This requires time and work of HR departments to create effective teams that will work in the organization and create it in the long term.
Taking into account certain aspects in creating an HR strategy, such as a talent acquisition policy, it is necessary to know what kind of work and in what environment talents expect. Such knowledge is provided by analyses and reports.
I believe that market data and trends are essential today in formulating a company’s HR strategy.
MB.: Thank you very much for the interview!
JB-B.: Thank you and I invite you to the meetings of the “Strategic HR” series and “HR Trends 2017. Changing the rules in the digital age”.
