The value of the internal employee network took center stage as companies empowered their workforce by enriching their employee network in new ways, wherever those employees were.And no wonder. Your employees are the heartbeat of your organization. They define what you sell, what you spend, and what profits you see. And when opportunities and crises arise, it\u2019s your people that make the difference. So, keeping them happy isn\u2019t merely the right thing to do: it\u2019s the one thing you must do.But happiness doesn\u2019t mean easiness. It doesn\u2019t mean less work or less-challenging work. It means meaningful, motivating work. It means connection, support, and empowerment.\u00a0And that means reinventing HR.As human resources thought leader Nestor Marquez simply states, “We’re all part of the human team.” After watching the SAPPHIRE NOW HR day keynote I gathered several HR experts together to ask them about the current state of HR and what they predict for the future of work.

And reimagining HR in this way \u2013 refocusing on the value of every person in the company \u2013 is how you create a workforce ready for this challenge or any other.\u201cOrganizations and people cannot be it if they cannot see it. A focus on diversity and inclusion is necessary.\u201d – Laurie Ruettimann\u201cHumans are the conduit to business success and HR through technology is what powers the success of the humans for the success of the business.\u201d – Enrique Rubio      Future-proof your career: 7 ways to improve emotional intelligence                Emotional intelligence is what sets humans apart from AI, machine learning, and algorithms.
