EY recently unveiled Future Work Now, a configurable program
that helps companies optimize individuals, teams and organizations for
increasingly digital work environments.
“Effective leadership in this technology-driven era of
workforce and workplace change will require a complete rethinking of how
people, culture and organizational strategies are managed,”
George Brooks, EY
Americas People Advisory Services Leader, said.
The program features seven levels that helps companies
establish a comprehensive talent management framework, allowing them to attract
new talent and engage current employees to boost performance. The levels are
collective purpose, global digital leadership, teaming ability, mind clarity,
performance and rewards, technology experience and physical environment.
“More than ever, employees want to find purpose and
human connection at work,” Brooks said. “At the same time, we’re seeing a
continued shift to a gig economy and virtual workforce. Digital innovation and
technology, like bots and artificial intelligence, are shifting the workplace
dynamic – companies need to augment workers with automation to leverage the
best of what humans and technology bring to the workplace. At the same time,
businesses must work aggressively to adapt to keep their people and
organizations engaged and inspired to do their best work in an increasingly
competitive talent market.”
