According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Minnesota has the second highest concentration of HR jobs in the nation. And not only that, but HR wages in the state have increased by 2.6% over the past year.

In this rich HR market, a number of new trends have emerged. We’ve recently seen a rise in HR departments using data-driven decision making to steer their organization’s strategy, as well as a simultaneous focus on the less tangible side of the employment equation: company culture and employee satisfaction.

An emphasis on data means HR professionals now use specific metrics to measure the impact of their decisions, which can build a more engaged and successful workforce. While data helps create a more effective organization, there is another aspect to consider. Company culture is more vital to a company’s success than ever. The latest HR initiatives focus not just on a company’s values as a whole, but on individual employees’ development and wellness.

In the following pages, our recruiters have detailed the most prevalent HR industry trends for 2016 to help both employers and job seekers more fully understand the market and position themselves for success.

Below, you will also find a list of the most in-demand HR positions of the year, as compared to last year. Specific descriptions of those roles and their salary ranges are found later in the guide.

HR professionals of every experience level choose a career in consulting for a number of reasons. It may simply be because they enjoy a challenging project they can guide from A to Z, or because they gain satisfaction from building a process and moving on before the maintenance stage. Still others appreciate the flexibility consulting can offer over a full time 8-5 role. Consultants can pick and choose when they work and who they work for. While some may choose to take breaks between projects, others like to keep a continuous schedule, moving from assignment to assignment.

One growing trend in the HR profession is outsourcing certain responsibilities to specialized consultants in order to properly execute on complex ideas and manage mission-critical projects. We partner with organizations of all sizes, from global, billion dollar corporations to start-ups with fewer than 20 professionals. As HR leaders work to fulfill their strategic initiatives, HR augmentation is critically helpful.

Over the past year, our team has noticed five trends in particular that stand out above the rest.

1. Project Management/Change Management While many companies have an experienced HR staff, a strong, well-rounded HR professional can help fill the bandwidth gap. HR consulting professionals help with change management initiatives, emergency preparedness, workforce planning, and more.

2. Data Analytics Consultants with experience using HR data to tell stories or make decisions are highly valued. For example, effectively analyzing safety data can ensure a safer workforce while reducing accidents and lowering insurance costs. Additionally, using data can uncover indicators as to why employees leave an organization and define particular competencies that can help build a stronger team.

3. HR Audits Using outside consultants to audit key stakeholders, assess best practices, and make recommendations on the HR function is an effective way to see a company with a fresh set of eyes.

4. Total Rewards Consultants help companies with their Employee Engagement Survey findings, resulting in rewards for employees. Our team has worked on a number of Total Rewards strategic projects including compensation structure work, ACA understanding, and the creation of wellness initiatives. HR consulting professionals at all stages of their careers seek companies that focus on driving meaningful engagement.

5. Digital Learning Instructional Designers and E-Learning professionals are more in-demand than ever. As companies look for more creative ways to engage and train employees, remote options are especially sought-after. Companies need ways to communicate, training programs, onboarding options, and more.

When it comes to talent management, it is not 2008 anymore. (Thank goodness.) In fact, since that time, most companies have downsized their employee base. Even though businesses overall have grown over the past eight years, most have done so with a leaner staff. Now with more confidence in the economy, companies realize they have made it through the lean times and can justify growing their teams. However, before they make hires, companies should take stock of their current employees and be very deliberate with their next hire to ensure the role brings specific, desired value into the organization.

Some of the best leaders I know frequently ask themselves, “How do we identify our best employees and how can we help them grow?” and “Who are the employees that we need to coach up or coach out?”

How does an organization identify these two types of employees in an objective manner? The key is data. To be more precise, the key is data and a consistent sustainable process in which to gather and assess that data. Some companies use 9-boxes, some use competencies, some simply use a red-yellow-green rating system based on manager feedback.

An effective performance management process can ensure that leaders achieve and maintain their desired company culture. It helps leaders “inspect what they expect” and hold their workforce accountable. One of the most important factors in executing a talent management program is sustained leadership and manager buy-in. If managers approach the talent management conversation with a “check the box” mentality, communication with their team is more likely to break down, adversely affecting employee morale and company culture. Consistent and honest communication is key.

A solid talent management approach can transform a company from a “shoot from the hip,” performance-grading culture to a culture full of engaged managers and employees who share real-time, honest feedback to their employees.

Tips:

• Define the competences or methodology upon which you want to measure your people.

• Gain leadership and management buy-in. They need to own it and execute it.

• Be consistent in the timing and tone of the performance management meetings

In today’s world, we operate at a fast pace with constant distractions. Emails, texts, phone calls, meetings, deadlines, and goals are abundant. All of these urgencies add stress into our day and we often find ourselves thinking of something other than the task at hand, trying to balance multiple priorities at once, and perhaps even operating on autopilot.

So how do we combat this distraction? Simply by being mindful. Mindfulness refers to awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. It means being in the present moment and staying focused and sharp. In recent years, an increasing number of companies have integrated this concept into the workplace, mostly due to its benefits for the overall well-being of their employees.

Here are a few simple ways to practice mindfulness:

1. Be conscious of how you start your day. Instead of immediately checking email or going through your to-do list, take two minutes to simply notice your breathing. Your day will bring enough urgencies, requests, and responsibilities as it is; these two minutes are all your own.

2. Be aware of your starting pace at work.When you get to the office, pause for a minute or two to breathe, close your eyes, and count to 10. This will help you start every day with a sense of calm.

3. Make it a routine to take a break.Plan 30 minutes to be off the grid. Take a walk, sit outside, or simply shut your office door and turn off your computer. Put it on your schedule to hold yourself accountable.

4. Relax on your ride home.During your commute, turn off the radio or any distracting devices, embrace the silence and let go of the stresses of the day. This will help you to be fully present when you get home.

5. Cut down your screen time. Avoid digital screens 30 minutes before you go to bed. Instead, use that time to reflect and relax your body. This will help to get a good night’s rest and, in turn, will result in an improved mood for the next day.

To be a more mindful worker, apply focus and awareness to everything you do. Recognize internal and external distractions as they arise, but be aware of how you react. Mindful working strips away distractions and helps you stay on track. Additionally, it can enhance creativity and empathy in the workplace which creates a healthier and more balanced work environment.

Whether mindfulness is a natural practice or you need to put it on your calendar, try merging these suggestions into your routine and reap the benefits. Mindfulness does not take a lot of time. It is a few minutes here and there that will help you re-center and make your days more enjoyable and fulfilling.

As HR professionals we often hear the cliché, “HR wants to have a seat at the table.” How I respond? Of course HR professionals want to be involved with more strategic decisions that affect the company’s top and bottom lines! We want to work on impactful projects and be seen as more than a cost center. Whether you find yourself in an old-school personnel department or part of a dynamic human capital team, as HR professionals we are tasked with the care of the single most important asset any company has – its employees.

As an HR professional, you hold the strategic direction of the company at your fingertips. If employees are the driving force within a company, it’s extremely important that the company has the right people in the right roles. How is this determined? Through Talent Management – one of HR’s many responsibilities.

To capture the attention of your leadership and get them onboard with your HR strategy, ask them if they think the company has the right roles within the organizational chart to grow to the next level. Organizational Design makes a huge impact on top and bottom lines. Struggling with sales? Work with your leader to create a new role that will drive sales from a different angle and affect the top line. Perhaps consider a Sales or HR Analyst that can use predictive analytics to gain insight as to which sales contents or incentives actually increase revenue.

Organizational Effectiveness can identify inefficiencies within the company, reduce cost, and even increase employee engagement – in turn, affecting the bottom line. To make sure HR has a voice in your organization, focus on catching your business leaders’ attention with these three things:

1. Create a consistent Talent Management process to identify your best employees. Use data, not gut feelings.

2. Engage in Organizational Design conversations focused on addressing business shortcomings. Create new roles that focus on enhancing revenue streams.

3. Treat your employees like the important assets they are. Truly listen to them. Don’t make them feel like commodities.

So, you’re officially on the market for a job. You have a sparkly new resume and a spruced up LinkedIn profile. What else do you need to do to in preparation for landing your next role?

1. Enlist Support

Network, network, network! Searching for a new role can consume as much time as a full-time job. You’ll need help managing your time, resources, and sanity. Family and friends can be a great support system. When they know you are looking, and have agreed to help, you extend your reach into opportunities you may not find on your own. Too often jobseekers try to go solo and that leads to frustration which, unbeknownst to the candidate, shows up in interviews. Ask for help! You’ll be glad you did.

2. Stay Organized

Identify the type of role for which you are best suited. Don’t just look at job scope and title; consider organization size, location, culture, and industry as well. Apply for jobs that align with your wish list. Use file folders, a table, or a spreadsheet to keep track of your job leads and applications. When recruiters, hiring managers, or HR professionals from the companies call, you will have the necessary job and company information at your fingertips.

3. Be Ready

When the interview comes, prepare to impress. Take inventory of your skills and accomplishments, and recall workplace scenarios that showcase your work and qualifications. In addition to having answers, be sure to have questions prepared. Inquire about the organization, the environment, the team, and what it takes to be successful in the role. Gather enough information to assess your interest in the job.

4. Get Social

Like and follow companies on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Use these channels to stay connected with the latest news and information on companies in which you have an interest. Additionally, you can interact with organizations by commenting on posts and participating in chats.

5. Follow Up

This may seem like a no-brainer, but it often goes overlooked. When a mentor or colleague refers you to a job opportunity or serves as a reference, say “Thank you.” The same goes for your interviewers. Once you complete an interview, send a follow up message regarding the conversation and your interest in the company and position. My personal preference is a handwritten note, however, a note of gratitude sent via email works well too. This may seem like a small gesture, but a little goes a long way.

With these five tips, you’ll be well on your way to a new job opportunity, hopefully sooner than you think.
