GET READY FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK

Explore Mercer & General Assembly’s 2020 HR Skills Accelerator Programmes

As the one function that touches every individual in an organization and appreciates the employee experience most, HR has a unique opportunity to help drive digitalization and transformation efforts in today’s rapidly changing world. Yet Mercer’s 2019 Global Talent Trends report revealed that only two in five HR leaders participate in the “idea generation stage” of major change projects.

To help design and build the future of work within their organizations, HR professionals must upskill with the critical knowledge and capabilities needed to deliver insights, design for digital transformation, and truly impact business value.

Sound daunting? Don’t worry – we are here to help.

Mercer has teamed up with General Assembly, a leading digital skills educator, to offer HR professionals two targeted skills accelerator programmes that will launch your learning journey, and help you meet the future of work head on.

  • Digital Foundations: Learn the mind-set and language of digital transformation

    Course Overview:

    HR managers and leaders must solve the talent needs of business functions undergoing rapid digitisation, but often lack confidence in their understanding of the complex forces behind digital transformation, and the skills and competencies necessary to master those forces.

    You will learn the six core mind-sets of leading digital organisations via e-learning, culminating in a one-day workshop to bring the lessons home for your organization. From agile methodologies, to customer journeys, prototypes, LTV, MVP, UX - you’ve heard these terms in passing, but need an authoritative understanding of them to better lead the future of work at your organization.

    The course includes a pre-and-post-course assessment to evaluate and benchmark your understanding relative to peers.
