Colin Lovering: “New ways of approaching L&D have made a tremendous impact on the way we manage people”

“The new world is governed by a stronger cooperation of people and technology emerging within a global platform economy. Everything is now interconnected and the power of combined expertise working in unison will succeed in shaping the current business and workflow landscape.

The focus of the 2022 edition will be on challenges faced by HR professionals amidst the new normal as today’s changing work arrangements, HR trends and disrupting technology and how it helps solve the industry’s key challenge,” Colin Lovering, Co-founder, Lovering and Partners, Business Performance Consultants (event moderator) said during “Belonging at Work Conference” powered by The Diplomat-Bucharest.

“Changing the workplace arrangements like remote working, project-based work, part-time work, and various other work models affect the performance management, L&D, and digital transformation strategies of the companies. When it comes to where we work, there will continue to be three main models – centralized workplaces, decentralized remote organizations, and the hybrid approach.

People analytics and the new ways of approaching L&D in organizations have made a tremendous impact on the way we manage people in the past several years. The general data literacy among the wider HR professionals seems to be now more valued than the people analytics expertise. The soft skills remain in place, stronger, more practical and individualized.”
