So, let’s get started. Over to you, Chuck.
2014 will be the year that CEOs and senior executives prioritize growth, according to a recent survey by Gartner, Inc. The 2014 Gartner CEO and Senior Executive Survey found that that there is currently a "risk-on" period when CEOs perceive that risk is lower, and they are prepared to invest in longer-term growth.
The top three business priorities were:
Increasing enterprise growth
Delivering operational results
Reducing enterprise costs
The survey results show that growth is the top priority by far, with CEOs and executives displaying a bullish attitude toward technology-related business growth in 2014 and 2015.
http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2707517
With so much on the executive plate, are these initiatives being addressed effectively? What are the underlying challenges and why?
1. In the PWC 2014 CEO Survey 60% reported concern about the headway new entrants are making into their markets eroding their market share and threatening investments. Continued uncertainty surrounding emerging economies underscores how difficult it is to predict costs and manage investments.
http://www.pwc.com/us/en/ceo-survey-us/2014/assets/2014-us-ceo-survey.pdf
----------------------------------------
2. The Gallup Business Journal estimates that actively disengaged employees cost the US between $350-$450 billion. High levels of disengagement are grounded in lack of alignment around common goals and priorities and poor leadership.
http://businessjournal.gallup.com/content/162953/tackle-employees-stagnating-engagement.aspx
Furthermore, operating models and associated cost structures must also evolve in order for organizations to stay competitive. 60% of US CEOs expect to restructure operations in 2014 to contain costs.
http://www.pwc.com/us/en/ceo-survey-us/2014/assets/2014-us-ceo-survey.pdf
----------------------------------------
3. In a 2014 PMI report - 82% of organizations are minimally or moderately effective at managing change. The root causes are listed as insufficient communications, lack of leadership and poor project performance.
http://www.pmi.org/~/media/PDF/Publications/Enabling-Change-Through-Strategic-Initiatives.ashx
------------------------------------------------------------
4. According to PWC (2014) CEO survey - 93% of CEOs say that they recognize the need to change their strategy for attracting and retaining talent. CEOs are unsure of the solution. They site two trends: 1. the redrawing of the skills map - through urbanization and demographic shifts (75% of the workforce will be millennials by 2025) and 2. technological advances - changing the foundations of our understanding of where and how we work and how employers find, train and manage people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Deloitte found that 1 in 2 post-merger integrations fail due to: quality of financial figures, execution plan viability, org & management structural differences, changes at the managerial level, integrations managers experience and limited HR capacity.

Millenials want to provide input on their work assignments and want and need the support of their supervisors
How do you connect with them?
Place a high priority on:
workplace culture and environment, emphasizing teamwork
sense of community
transparency (as it relates to decisions about their careers)
The Intelligence Group studies of Millenials found that:
64% of them say it’s a priority for them to make the world a better place
72% would like to be their own boss; if they do have to work for a boss, 79% of them want boss to serve more as a coach or mentor
88% prefer collaborative work culture rather than competitive one
74% want flexible work schedules
88% want “work-life integration,” not the same as work-life balance, since work and life now blend together inextricably
Key Trends:
1. Companies hiring Generation Z for internships.
While many companies are still trying to understand and connect with Gen Y (or millennials), some companies are going to be heavily invested in the upcoming generation, Gen Z. Gen Z’s, born between 1994 and 2010, will become a major target for companies looking to recruit interns next year. The oldest Gen Z will be a senior in college in 2015. In addition, more companies are going to be recruiting high school students for their internship programs, including Deloitte, Microsoft, Rackspace and Lockheed Martin. In a study earlier this year, we found that half of employers are either currently accepting applications from high school students for internships or plan to this year. Companies like Facebook, LinkedIn and VMware are already paying high school students thousands of dollars to be interns and next year more companies will jump on board. This is happening for two major reasons: 1) companies are trying to close the skills gap (STEM) 2) companies are desperately trying to compete for the very best talent so they have to build brand awareness early and that means high school.

Key Trends:
Succession planning becomes a top priority.
There is no doubt that succession planning is going to be a major concern for companies starting next year as more boomers start to retire. One of the ways that companies are handling succession planning is to keep some workers on the payroll. About 65% of workers plan to work for pay in retirement. You will start to see companies hold onto their older workers in order to transfer their knowledge to younger ones. Many CEOs are going to be retiring this fall too, including Deloitte’s, Molson Coors and Ford’s Mulally retired earlier this year.
Source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/danschawbel/2014/10/29/the-top-10-workplace-trends-for-2015/2/
Key Trends:
Social media posts used to attract and retain talent.
We will start seeing more social media updates, and blog posts, from companies in 2015. In order to stand out as an employer, companies will need to start posting more work culture related posts and leveraging their employees to share them. 58% of people are more likely to want to work at a company if they are using social media and over 20% are more likely to stay at their companies if they are using social media. People want to work for interesting companies and when they see social media posts, it gives them a better sense of what they are about. They are sick of seeing press releases and corporate websites and want something that is more “real”.

Key Trends:
More millennials are taking leadership roles.
A few years ago, PayScale.com and my company found that nearly 13% of all millennials in America were managers already. That number is expected to grow in 2015 as millennials become the largest percentage of the workforce for the very first time. In a new study between my company and Elance oDesk, we found that 27% of millennials are already managers, 5% are senior management and 2% are executives. In 10 years, 47% want to be managers or senior managers, 7% want to be executives and 15% want to be business owners. Ernst & Young has also helped identify this trend by reviewing their own workforce composition and finding that 59% of their managers are already millennials and 18% are senior managers. 90% of all millennials who are managers took their role in the past five years. In another study by CareerBuilder, they found that 38% of the workforce is already managed by millennials and that’s already caused a few problems including favoritism towards other millennials and them thinking they know more than older workers. The problem these new managers are having is that they are unprepared for the positions. They were never trained on how to be good managers and are being pushed into these roles out of necessity – companies are losing older workers and positions are opening up fast.
Poll – What do Millennials mean when they say: I want to be my own boss?
I want to start my own business
I want to become CEO of this company
I want to have real impact on the business
Excerpt from Millenniopedia, that will be shared with all webinar attendees:
What they mean
Although Millennials are an entrepreneurial generation, it’s a misconception that they thrive to be
their own boss. In fact, they don’t appreciate the concept of “bosses” at all. The reality is that these
young adults don’t want to work for others who are too demanding or constraining.
Gen-Y wants to be more than just workers in the assembly line – they want to have real impact
on the business and are looking for more insight into the company strategy and direction.
The desire for starting their own business is actually a call for transparency, independence and
flat hierarchies.
What this means for HR
To address their aspiration for independence and insight, HR and Managers need to offer ways for
their Generation Y to participate in strategic initiatives and carry responsibilities. Supervisors need to
provide guidance and clarity into how their youngest employees can contribute towards their business
objectives, while giving freedom for their own execution and avoiding micro-management.
