#Nextchat: The Movement

There is a seismic shift happening within our workplaces and within the world of HR. The workforce and workplace are changing as rapidly as the technology that runs them, and the HR profession has found that the legacy way of doing things no longer applies in the new world of work.

Social communication is the new key driver of change, and Millennials are using it to forge new models of leadership and to change the way work is accomplished in organizations.

HR and talent acquisition professionals are facing a new frontier where they’re responsible for managing talent and retention in a world where employees no longer view jobs as careers but as an ever-changing mosaic of projects and adventures.

The next generation of HR professionals wants to change the way things get done in order to meet these new challenges.  They seek to change the negative stereotypes associated with HR and will not be content with the low levels of engagement that are so pervasive in today’s workplaces.

This new group of emerging leaders seeks to communicate, elevate and inspire. They are attentive and perceptive and have a keen sense of where the profession is headed. They want to ignite open and candid conversations about the workplace. They want everyone to have a voice – not only the super-social-influencers and mega-author-consultant-speakers, but every HR professional who’s in the trenches and has great ideas about how to reshape and retool the profession for future success.

HR strategist Rayanne Thorn explains that “it’s about recognizing when change is necessary and having the courage to learn about and implement amendments to how we live, how we communicate, how we work” and that “disruption and challenge are, indeed, necessary parts of progress.”
