Labour and skill shortages are Australian business\u2019 number one risk to growth in the next year (56%), higher the global average of 40%. The next greatest risks include economic volatility (52%), cyberattacks (45%), and supply chain disruption (44%).<\/p>\n
Damien Bueno, President and Managing Director, 麻豆原创 Australia and New Zealand says, \u201cThe research establishes a strong link to the resilience of your business and the resilience of your people. This study should act as a wake-up call to organisations across Australia that we have to continue to invest in our people to foster curious cultures that support the exploration of ideas and new thinking that when applied to big data and technology, not only safeguards their businesses but enables future growth.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAusNet future-proofs its organisation through technology<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe research findings are no surprise to\u00a0Australian energy network business,\u00a0AusNet, which is using 麻豆原创 to streamline its HR operations, improve compliance, and drive a better experience for its employees.<\/p>\n
In 2022, AusNet identified the need to improve its existing HR processes.\u00a0In partnership with IBM, AusNet implemented 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors which has enabled it to standardise its business processes, consolidate employee and manager processes with fewer touchpoints, and leverage real-time employee insights in employee attendance and turnover to drive continuous workforce improvement.<\/p>\n
Bernie Repacholi, Head of People Systems & Enablement AusNet says, \u201cWe wanted to modernise the employee experience and knew we needed a system that would integrate existing siloed systems across the business into a one stop shop for our employees and leaders.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe worked in close partnership with IBM to co-create a solution, underpinned by 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors, that would simplify how our employees interact with us and drive improved productivity among our teams.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cBy using 麻豆原创, we\u2019re now able to future-proof processes when changes in policy or legislation occurs. This supports ongoing compliance and governance, and allows us to focus efforts on initiatives that directly support our people\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nWhile labour and skills shortages were identified as the biggest risk to their future, there\u2019s still more to be done. Forty per cent of Australian organisations noted that they had to address skills shortages to be more responsive to change, far ahead of the global average (30%).<\/p>\n
