HR Needs To Be Part of The Move To The Cloud | Innovation
If someone from HR is not at the table during your next meeting about moving processes and data to the cloud, you may be putting the project at risk. In a recent report by Deloitte on trends in human capital, the consulting firm notes that a benefit-heavy migration to cloud services can be disruptive to an organization too. Without HR support, some members of the enterprise could have trouble adapting to the change.
For example, IT organizations may have to absorb new responsibilities and skills, including an increased focus on supplier management, business requirements, and customer needs. Simultaneously, other departments are going to have to adapt. Cloud-based technology will put daily IT decision making in the hands of end users, giving business leaders and managers more autonomy and influence over the systems, processes, data, and tools they use. Look at how some consumerization of mobile devices is empowering employees to select their own work tools.
End-users are going to have to adapt too, and more frequently.? Says Deloitte, the cloud ?requires new learning and development techniques to help users adjust to a never-ending stream of technology changes and enhancements.?
Deloitte reviewed how many HR organizations help their companies transition processes to the cloud. Here are five practical lessons that can help HR teams accelerate cloud adoption and ease the transition across the business.
- It?s Not All About Technology ? A migration to cloud services may require significant organizational changes. Aligning the workforce with the cloud-inspired vision is vital to its success.
- Become a Cloud Champion ? One of the key benefits of cloud technology is the increased speed of decision making. Take steps to move the organization away from a consensus-culture to more agile, independent decision making.
- Seed Your Cloud ?The market for employees with cloud-related skills is heating up. Learn how to recruit, manage, and develop cloud-savvy talent.
- Rethink Business Manager Skills ? Recruit or develop management level people who understand the cloud and can identify its business value. More than ever, business owners will need to have a better handle on what technology can deliver to reap its real benefits.
- Think Fast ? Ensuring that every member of your team can keep up with new features and improvements will require a very nimble change management and training organization. More efficient and effective on-demand learning and development techniques will be required.
The Deloitte report provides more information about the role that HR is playing in the successful implementation of cloud technology.? Take a look and let us know what you think.
