For many people, trends are either for (1) the bean counters upstairs to find more reasons to slash our budgets or (2) the organizational leadership to find more reasons for us to do more with less. These perceptions could not be further from the truth. While the improper use of trends lends itself to the boring staff meeting and Death by PowerPoint full of meaningless statistics; trends in all actuality provide a window into the organizational external environment and provides a roadmap to the direction the organization should be headed. This direction could be to capitalize on organizational strengths, take advantage of short lived market opportunities, avoid situations that emphasize organizational weaknesses or to prepare for a potential crisis either financial or operationally.  While the effective presentation of trends can provide critical environmental intelligence to the senior leadership; it is the integration of that intelligence into human resource (HR) plans, aligning the revised strategic and operational plans to the business model and aggressively implementing those plans that will provide organizations the critical edge over their competition.

What are trends? How important are they? Why should we use them? How do I integrate trends into my HR plan?  How do I align the changed plan into my firm’s business model/ What are the leading HR trends for 2012?  How do I recognize and measure success if I use the trends in my planning efforts? While these questions may seem daunting, today’s HR professionals must have a clear understanding of how to effectively use HR trends as a critical management  tool to update and improve their HR plan so that it effectively  meets organizational needs based on the business model  and implement an HR plan that effectively addresses the challenges and opportunities presenting by the HR trends in 2012 and provide an organization the flexibility, agility and nimbleness to retain its completive edge

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what trends are, their importance, their value as intelligence and as environmental tools
• Understand the principles behind using HR trends as environmental intelligence and management tools.
• How to develop and integrate metrics into the trend analysis and plan development process. How to recognize success.
• Understand the leading HR trends for 2012.
• Understand how to use HR trends as environmental intelligence and management tools and how to incorporate trends into HR operational and strategic planning efforts.
