Special Year-End Edition

As we close out 2020 and get ready for the new year, I wanted to recap the top articles that I have shared over the past few months.

These Top 15 articles (there are actually 21 since I reference a few bonus articles) are in no particular order, but they do represent those articles that have received the highest engagement (i.e., views, shares, likes, and comments) from posts that I have made on various platforms.

The articles center on three broader themes:

1. HR Effectiveness - the changing role of HR, CHROs, and HR priorities

2. HR Practices - optimizing practices such as talent reviews, learning, people analytics, and workforce planning

3. Workforce Trends - future of work, women in the workplace, diversity, and remote work

They include:

• Superhuman Resources: How HR Leaders Have Redefined Their C-suite Role | strategy + business

• The CHRO's Team: What Matters Most | Talent Strategy Group and The Shanley Group

• Accelerating the Journey to HR 3.0: Ten Ways To Transform In a Time of Upheaval | IBM Institute for Business Value and Josh Bersin Academy

• Top 5 Priorities for HR Leaders in 2021 | Gartner

• 21 HR Jobs of The Future Report | Cognizant

• Resetting the Future of Work Agenda: Disruption and Renewal in a Post-covid World | World Economic Forum With Mercer

• 2021 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends | Deloitte Insights

• How to Be Great at People Analytics | McKinsey

• From Workforce to Work-task Planning | Dave Ulrich | Talent Quarterly

• Three Steps to Turn Your Company Into a Learning Powerhouse | BCG

While this isn't an exhaustive list, it does represent a sample of the topics and articles in which readers have been most interested.

Accessing the Top 15

Although I always include the articles directly in the newsletter itself, due to the number of articles in this issue being double than what is usually shared--I have posted them on my website instead. The website version will provide for a better reading experience.

I hope you find these resources to be useful as you prepare for the new year.

Next Issue

Please note that in observance of the holiday season, I will not be publishing a newsletter issue next Sunday. I will resume the publication on Sunday, January 3, 2021.

I hope you all have a happy, safe, and healthy holiday season and that you get to enjoy time with your family and friends while taking care of yourselves, and each other.

I look forward to continuing to exchange ideas with you all in the new year!
