\nThe screening of candidates\u2019 social media profiles and other key personal data is set to increase in the decade to 2022, a new report by the PwC reveals.
\nThe future of work: A journey to 2022 report forecasts that the \u2018Generation Y\u2019\/the Millennial Generation- those born between the early 1980s to the early 2000s \u2013 will make up half of the globe\u2019s workforce in 2020, leading to an increase in employee data monitoring as firms try to gain a deeper insight into their potential new recruits.
\nThe report goes on to outline that this monitoring could serve to shed light on the factors that act to motivate employees, the factors that make employees consider moving to a new job, as well as the conditions that are needed to support employee wellbeing.
\nIt seems that far from being perturbed by the idea of sharing their personal data, the report revealed more than a third (36%) of \u2018Generation Y\u2019 workers argued that they are open to this idea.
\nAnthony Bruce, HR workforce analytics leader at PwC, said:
\n\u201cJust as advertisers and retailers are using data from customers\u2019 online and social media activity to tailor their shopping experience, organizations could soon start using workers\u2019 personal data (with their permission) to measure and anticipate performance and retention issues. This sort of data profiling could also extend to real-time monitoring of employees\u2019 health, with proactive health guidance to help reduce sick leave.
\n\u201cKey to the success of organizations being able to use employee data will be developing measurable benefits for those who hand over their data and building trust through clear rules about how data is acquired, used and shared.\u201d
\nKey trends in the future world of work revealed<\/strong>
\nPosing the question \u2018What will transform the way people work over the next 5 \u2013 10 years?\u2019, the report revealed technological breakthroughs topped the list,(53%), followed by:
\n\u2022 Resource scarcity and climate change – 39%
\n\u2022 Shifts in global economic power \u2013 36%
\n\u2022 Demographic shifts \u2013 33%
\n\u2022 Rapid urbanisation \u2013 26%
\n\u201cManagers need to develop a clear culture where technology works for everyone\u201d<\/strong>
\nOn the vital role that technological advances are set to play in the future workforce, and what employers need to do in response to this, Bruce continued:
\n\u201cTechnology will continue to transform how we will work over the next decade. While many workers will embrace these changes, organizations need to be mindful of the potential disruption to people\u2019s lives.
\n\u201cManagers need to develop a clear culture where technology works for everyone. This isn\u2019t about having a blanket ban on when systems should be turned off, it is about creating the right culture so people can use technology to enhance their lives but also have control about when they choose to do so.\u201d
