HR's Metaverse roles: When Cognizant fell in love with the human resources function!

When Cognizant fell in love with the human resources function! Check this article by Cognizant: An Evolving Profession: 21 New HR Jobs to Watch For (cognizant.com)


Yeah, I call it a "function" after CEO coach and mentor Ram Charan asked us to keep the function while letting go of the "department"!

Have a look at these 21 jobs (or roles or tasks within those roles?)
It looks like Cognizant pulled out more pigeons than it could manage, and then searching holes for them appears to be a rehabilitative act!
Honestly speaking, HR needs introspection rather than acts of deception!
Our MEA S Jaishankar said, "Europe will have to come out of the mindset that Europe's problems are World's problems, while World's problems are not Europe's problems! "
Likewise, ladies and gentlemen of HR (and other adorable pronouns as HR wears), many HR's problems are not organizational problems!
Dave Ulrich invoked HR as a function of change makers, trend setters, culture curators, employee advocates, catalysts, Business Partners, etc. But soon, HR, after lots of demands of learning and knowing business first, chose to remove the business part from the HRBP and adopted the people-people-partner role! HR shall look within and ask if they are really ready for the 21 new #metaverse avatar roles that this time Cognizant is invoking. (You should check if Cognizant's own HR team picked these avatars in the first place.)
Having said that, Cognizant has highlighted the high touch points (in the name of jobs) that HR will care about. They are all real and need attention.

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] . The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with no...

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

Why Organizations are so BAD at Talent Management? A curious case below..

Founded in 2019 in South San Francisco,   ProcDNA has grown 2x in 24 months....from 100 to 200 as of Feb 25th as you see the snapshot below. I was looking at their India staff data looking actively for jobs as evident on Naukri.com, a leading job portal in India. For past 30 days, 39 staff in India looking out actively. If you check for past 2 months, this number inflates to 49. Median tenure of staff here is 8 months.  What interests me are the following: 27 jobs posted on LinkedIn and 9 out of them are just repetitions. Same job posted many times (5x at times).  There is only 1 Director level job is up there as far as senior open roles are concerned. Many jobs have titles like Senior/Associate/Assistant Engagement Lead, etc.  Below are 4 senior staff in key roles who are active on Naukri.com , looking for next job.  What's wrong here? Nothing....they are just looking out...:) ....But that's a self fulfilling thought, right, especially when you are the co...
