For most organizations, returning to stability is more than just bringing employees back to the office. It's an opportunity to rethink priorities and strengthen collaboration and communication across the organization. This means businesses must focus more on the individuals and their needs.
The reason behind such a human-centered approach to HR is crystal clear: the rules that people lived by and trusted in the past do not apply. Employees are hesitant about putting their faith in institutionalized cultures, processes, and technologies that are not necessarily designed for them. They crave connections, clarity, and community to amplify their talent, protect their self-interests, and secure their position in the workplace.
At SAP, we believe this leap toward human experience management (HXM) in HR is critical to the future success of every business. This line of thinking inspired us to create a three-week massive open online course (MOOC), available on
openSAP beginning on October 13, 2020. This learning opportunity is free to all.
Sneak peek: A unique opportunity to learn about HXM
Realizing that the employee experience must be considered a critical priority is one thing. Delivering on that promise in ways that keep the business resilient and productive enough to navigate uncertainty and ramp up for recovery is an entirely different matter. According to
IDC, only 35% of companies are expected to replace traditional key performance indicators with key behavioral indicators by 2022 to measure human-centered collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Our HXM course, “
Human Experience Management: The Next Phase of HR,” will cover the fundamental principles of HXM, supporting technology, and practical application of these human and digital concepts. Our learning content will provide insight into creating human experiences that resonate with employee expectations and guide the business on a path to stability and recove
Here’s a sneak peek of the weekly sessions the MOOC will feature:
