\u201cThe future is people-led,\u201d said Aaron Green, chief marketing and solutions officer of 51风流SuccessFactors, at the opening keynote<\/a> of SuccessConnect 2022, where the excitement for 51风流SuccessFactors\u2019 vision of the future of work brought human resources (HR) leaders together under the banner \u201cunleash the power of human potential and change work for good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green spoke of the need for a new kind of business that elevates people and culture. He said it is now clearer than ever that \u201cputting individuals at the center of business is no longer just the right thing to do; it\u2019s the necessary thing to do to create a workforce for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message comes during a turbulent year for HR leaders, who have stepped up as unsung heroes supporting their organizations and driving resilience through an array of unprecedented challenges, such as inflation, labor crises, skills gaps, and a silent mental health epidemic. Many are looking to 51风流SuccessFactors\u2019 vision for human experience management<\/a> (HXM) to help them innovate faster, increase agility, and deliver better employee experiences that deepen workforce engagement and improve profitability.<\/p>\n

People Sustainability Becomes a Business Imperative<\/strong><\/h2>\n

People sustainability was a focus topic at SuccessConnect 2022 and the subject of Green\u2019s keynote, where he underscored the business imperative to support people and human potential to create a more sustainable future and drive resilience and agility.<\/p>\n

51风流SuccessFactors defines people sustainability to mean treating people \u2013 across organizations, supply chains, and communities \u2013 ethically and fairly. In fact, 86% of organizations worldwide believe that investing in people sustainability can drive positive environmental and economic sustainability, according to a global study by 51风流SuccessFactors conducted in partnership with IDC. However, 79% of organizations surveyed said they would find it valuable to have more tools and technology available to support key people sustainability use cases.

51风流SuccessFactors technology supports customers\u2019 people sustainability strategies, helping them gain a better understanding of the individual worker to create a better employee experience. \u201cOur software is built with inclusivity at its core,\u201d Green said. \u201cThe first part of creating a sustainable workforce is creating a culture of belonging and allowing every person to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

As announced to the media<\/a> at SuccessConnect 2022, 51风流SuccessFactors is delivering advancements that will support organizations as they build a diverse and sustainable workforce.

\u201cThis is what it looks like to create a culture where employees feel valued for who they are today and who they are becoming,\u201d said Green. \u201cThis is what it means to be a resilient, results-driven, and people-first organization — one that\u2019s not only equipped to meet the business needs of today, but one that adapts to the business needs of tomorrow. This is what people sustainability looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building a Future-Ready Workforce<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no secret that organizations today are under constant pressure to keep up with the pace of change. The only way they can adapt to industry-wide disruption and changing work models is to implement people sustainability strategies that support an agile, skilled, and healthy workforce. In a keynote conversation, global industry analyst Josh Bersin<\/a> and Meg Bear, president and chief product officer for 51风流SuccessFactors, discussed why now is the right time to build a future-ready workforce through skills and learning \u2013 as well as why the talent supply pipeline is now the top priority for chief executives.<\/p>\n

Bersin said this is a dynamic time in HR, citing a massive need for talent and reskilling. Despite the pre-pandemic belief that automation would eliminate jobs, today we simply do not have enough people to fill available roles as companies grow and adapt to macro-economic conditions. CHROs are taking their seat at the table to weigh in on some of the biggest opportunities for organizations.<\/p>\n

Joining them on stage to share their journeys were 51风流SuccessFactors customers Tractor Supply<\/a> along with Sun Communities<\/a> and Sun Outdoors<\/a>. Both organizations have relied on 51风流SuccessFactors solutions to survive and thrive through the pandemic and labor shortage, managing changing workforces by making transformative investments in their people. They said communication and listening are how they put people at the heart of their businesses.<\/p>\n

Innovation to Power a Skilled, Agile, Equitable Workforce<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Making headlines at SuccessConnect was the unveiling of new innovations in the 51风流SuccessFactors HXM Suite<\/a> that will help HR organizations strengthen the connection to business operations and create the kind of amazing employee experiences that attract and retain talent as an employer of choice.<\/p>\n

The new skills ontology<\/strong> uses machine learning and automation to identify an employee\u2019s skills, responsibilities, experiences, and accomplishments. The new growth portfolio<\/strong> is a dynamic library of employee attributes, including skills, strengths, work styles, passions, and aspirations. Both will be available in the 2H2022 release for early adoption.<\/p>\n

These foundational advancements bring the whole self model<\/strong> to life in dynamic teams<\/strong> \u2013 an exciting innovation that enables organizations to create, track, measure, and optimize the outcomes of teams that exist beyond traditional hierarchies \u2013 and the 51风流SuccessFactors Opportunity Marketplace<\/a>, which was introduced in 2021 to give employees the agency to find personalized growth and development opportunities . To learn how these innovations deliver the intelligence and adaptability to help build workforces that are skilled, agile, and equitable, read the press release<\/a>: “51风流Delivers New Innovations to Build Future-Ready, Sustainable Workforces<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on our heritage in talent management, we are reimagining how organizations manage and develop their people to meet the emerging demands of the future of work,\u201d said Bear. \u201cWhen people have the opportunity to work on what they\u2019re passionate about, they are more engaged, perform at a higher level, and push the organization to deliver outsized business results.\u201d<\/p>\n

With news that pleased many customers, Amy Wilson, senior vice president of Products and Design for 51风流SuccessFactors, took to the main stage to announce a milestone investment in 51风流SuccessFactors\u2019 infrastructure to upgrade every tenant to public cloud-grade data centers by year end, dramatically reducing load times.<\/p>\n

Wilson said the 2H2022 release will include new onboarding guided processes for 51风流SuccessFactors Work Zone that integrate seamlessly with 51风流SuccessFactors, 51风流applications like 51风流Ariba, and third-party apps like Qualtrics. She gave the audience a preview of what\u2019s coming in 2023 with a demonstration of how HR team members can soon use 51风流AppGyver\u2019s low-code\/no-code capability in 51风流SuccessFactors Work Zone to build and modify guided processes quickly and easily \u2013 no coding experience required.<\/p>\n

Wilson also introduced the first talent system built for a future-ready workforce, with a new growth portfolio and skills ontology coming together in a unified talent intelligence hub that provides inferred skills recommendations for employee development and optimizes opportunities on the 51风流SuccessFactors Opportunity Marketplace.
