Strategic layout and practical sharing:

Transforming HR for a Future-Ready Workforce

In her keynote speech, Ms. Lv Wei, Chairman and CEO of CDP Group, deeply analyzed the core challenges of future human resource management and the path to break through. She pointed out that the core change of the future working model is to build a “future-ready” workforce, and through cultural reshaping, employees can maintain a high sense of belonging and purpose in the flexible office, and Hybrid Working will become the standard for enterprises.

With regard to the layout of globalization, she proposed that Chinese enterprises need to go through the three stages of “testing the water - building a platform - becoming a benchmark”, especially “employee experience management throughout the life cycle” should be carried out throughout the multinational business, and especially emphasized the importance of reshaping the meaning and culture of work. Organizational culture needs to be changed from “top-down control” to “bottom-up empowerment”, so that employees have decision-making agility (Agile Skills) and front-line impact (Impact Skill), and work design needs to be changed from “task-oriented” to “task-oriented”. Job design should be shifted from "task-oriented" to "meaning-oriented" so as to stimulate the internal motivation of employees.

When it comes to AI, she believes that the application of AI in HR is not a technology project, but a cultural change. Enterprises need to anticipate changes in advance and strengthen the organization's Adaptation rather than passive response. In response to AI substitution anxiety, she bluntly said that “machines replace repetitive labor, and people should focus on creating irreplaceable value links”, and demonstrated the innovative practice of a certain enterprise to let veteran employees transform into global knowledge officers through skill cloud mapping, which provides a vivid footnote for talent development in the era of “human-machine synergy”. It also demonstrates the innovative practice of an enterprise to transform its veteran employees into global knowledge officers through skill cloud mapping, which provides a vivid footnote for the development of talents in the era of "human-machine collaboration".

In addition, Lv Wei shared the global strategic layout and business strategy of CDP Group, and deeply analyzed the globalization strategy and sustainable development path of the enterprise, and the visitors also actively interacted and asked questions, which were patiently and wonderfully answered by her, presenting a wonderful business practice class for the visitors.
