Executive Insights from Day 3 of Gartner ReimagineHR
Don’t underestimate GenAI’s disruptive effects on the workforce. In this session, Helen Poitevin, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner, discusses the value of generative AI in HR, how to identify use cases, and the technology’s influence on the entire workforce.
To plan for gen AI’s impact on jobs:
Take an active role: Connect with peers in IT and business to understand more about how your organization is investing in AI. Start with one team — it could be HR or another domain with significant AI ambitions.
Monitor roles: Plan for how to detect the moment when you will need to work with business leaders to redesign — or overhaul — roles. Anticipate context-specific talent challenges.
“More important than what AI can do is how we choose to use it. We might choose AI even if humans do it better — and vice versa."
Helen Poitevin, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner
There are three key forces bringing down the “pay wall” between organizations and candidates: legal mandates, candidate expectations and job site requirements. As such, companies are getting more transparent about pay with candidates. Caitlyn McDonough, VP Advisory at Gartner, shares how to use pay transparency to attract top talent, regardless of what you actually pay.
“Forty percent of recruiting leaders expect that by next year, their organization will put salary ranges in job postings everywhere. But you need to go so much further than that and be transparent with candidates everywhere. The first movers here are going to have the advantage in attracting talent."
Caitlyn McDonough, VP Advisory at Gartner
Here are three key lessons for how to effectively use pay transparency to attract talent:
Share a narrow pay range: Many job postings have salary ranges that are over $100,000 wide, which isn’t all too helpful for candidates. Provide a realistic sense of what they’ll earn.
Communicate how pay is determined: Candidates want to know, at a high level, how their starting pay will be determined. It helps build trust in the numbers you share.
