Once a plan is in place, HR will play a driving role in understanding how to attract, retain and engage this diversity of talent, particularly through innovative total rewards — from financial to nonfinancial, workplace flexibility to health and wellness — and HR technologies to support.

Lastly, HR professionals will be able to help the organization navigate this shift in mindset, through change management and communications to all stakeholders — leaders, managers and employees who will need to understand the new way of getting work done. It is time for HR to move forward as a strategic business partner, to redirect its skills and lead the business into the future.
