2017 HR Transformation Study: How HR Needs to Change

According to Mercer 2017 Global Talent Trends Study more than 90 percent of C-suite executives plan to redesign their organizations in 2017, but almost half do not believe that their HR team provides actionable analytics to improve business leader decision making. Results of recent HR Transformation global survey show:

  • High performing HR organizations leverage a centralized structure that relies on COEs, HRBPs, and HR Shared Services
  • While high performing organizations use far more technology than average or low performers, there is room for improvement 
  • Few in HR plan to change from the prevailing model of COEs, HRBPs, and HR Shared Services
Significantly, 71% of high performing HR organizations deploy all three functions: COEs, HRBPs and HR Shared Services.
