Good morning,

It’s been another tough year for HR. Even the most optimistic HR leader would admit that issues such as talent scarcity are not going away and organizational change feels relentless. Describing each new challenge as ‘The New Normal’ has become, well… the new normal. Can organizations expect any respite, or must HR leaders adopt a new approach to cope with constant change?

The research tells us the latter. Talent scarcity, argues Josh Bersin in another exclusive interview for HRD Connect, is here to stay. What’s more, this renders our current definition of jobs obsolete. HR, he argues, must rethink its definition of jobs. In this Q&A he outlines the ‘Four R’ model and how it can help organizations shift to redefine jobs, shift to systemic HR, and achieve organizational productivity.

Enjoy!
