The Talent Conundrum
Human Capital
|March 2019
During the SAP SuccessFactors Success Connect conference, Penny Stoker, Global Leader of HR Services at EY, unveiled "Onboarding Buddy", an onboarding AI chat bot that fully integrates with SAP SuccessFactors. The uniqueness of the bot is that it has answers to the otherwise mundane requests from the new employees. While this is definitely the way forward for the HR to rein in AI augmented talent management solutions, it does not exactly give a measure of the amount of penetration required by AI and the balance to be set forth by human intervention.
Human Capital spoke to Shankar Krishnamoorthy, CEO and Co Founder, Synergita, to get an understanding of the talent trends for 2019 and later in the backdrop of enhanced penetration of AI/ML. He also spoke about the relevance of newage talent management practices in vogue in organisations today, and the vetted role being manifested by pointed HR solution providers in identifying, analysing and provisioning prognostic measures for effective talent management practices in an organisation.

Our experience with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is growing multi fold every day. We experience the way how "intelligence" is applied in our daily life by using OLA and Swiggy. Mobile, IOT, AI/ML, etc. have transformed our daily lives. It is important for people to become multi-disciplinary in their work life. The skillsets that are going to be in high demand are Data analytics and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
It can well be anticipated that every field is going to hire people with such skillsets, since they have huge application whether the business is in construction, healthcare, logistics, retail etc. While the need for such skillsets are high, we are also seeing a shift towards the gig economy. More and more people are moving to become contingent workers, and the is only going to increase in the days ahead.
During the times of VUCA, millennials, and the enhanced penetration of Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning in the workplace, what are the contemporary issues confronting talent acquisition and management?

An Aggrieved Woman?
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition And Redressal) Act, 2013 has mandated that it is illegal to sexually harass women, working or otherwise, at the workplace. However, it certainly is strange that the law did not feel the need to include men, and, also did not clearly demarcate the boundaries of liability for the employer.
