Episode 2 - Meg Bear
Welcome to Work 20XX
A show focused on the future of work
as we continue to navigate these transformational times.
I’m your host Jeff Frick.
The world changed in March 2020, Chief Human Resources Officers and Chief People Officers had to quickly
adjust to the new world. Amazingly, the companies and people adapted faster than anyone would have imagined.
It quickly became apparent that this wasn’t a temporary situation, but really a catalyst to change the expectation of what’s possible,
and the relationship between output and location, between employer and employee.
SAP SuccessFactors is a leading human resource solution provider, and as such, sits at the engagement point between company and employee, where the rubber meets the road in terms of systems and processes that define much of what the company means to the employees. Post March 2020, as the demands in the market, changed, far beyond simply supporting remote workers.
It created a new demand need for better engagement tools, sentiment analysis, connection
In this episode, we are joined by Meg Bear, Chief Product Officer, SAP SuccessFactors. Meg shared the challenge many faced in responding to the shelter in place demands and working through a distributed team. But she had the added burden to deliver tools and applications to support this evolving relationship between employee and employer. In this far-ranging conversation, Meg shares her views on the factors behind the great resignation, what hybrid really means, and the fact that organizations need to get better at responding to change. We discuss authority, agency, control, flexibility, choice, collective intelligence, and intrinsic motivation because as Meg says “that’s what this is really about.”
From the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to the role of leadership and communications, Meg shared her
perspective and vision of the path forward.
So without further delay, my conversation with Meg Bear.
