Dynamic HR, Talent Acquisition, and L&D Strategies for Research, Discovery, Development and Delivery
Quoting Deloitte’s 2016 Global Life Sciences Outlook, “Deloitte’s 2015 Global Human Capital Trends report identifies 10 human resources (HR) trends that are likely to present talent-related challenges for life sciences organizations in 2016 and coming years. These include culture and engagement; leadership; learning and development; reinventing HR; workforce on demand; performance management; HR and people analytics; simplification of work; machines as talent; and people data everywhere. The report also calculates a “capability gap” for each challenge, measuring the difference between an issue’s importance and an organization’s readiness to address it. Unfortunately, comparing 2015’s results to 2014 data, the capability gap in many of these areas has increased in magnitude. This suggests that the accelerating economy and rapid changes in the workforce have created even more urgency in the need to adapt HR and people practices around the world.”
Change is a near constant in the pharma, biotech, and medical devices industries. Product development can take decades, and internal and external factors frequently affect timelines. This must be considered when planning to address hiring needs, as well as ensuring your talent is engaged and productive, while you’re also adhering to the industries regulations.
