THE NOW OF WORK
The global pandemic announced by the World Health Organization on March 11 changed the world of work overnight. Quickly realizing this was not to be a stopgap emergency response or temporary business continuity issue, enterprises who had struggled to achieve sustained, meaningful digital transformation felt sudden and intense pressure to support remote work, virtual tools, and full digital workplace enablement. Digitization of work was induced overnight, all while employers scrambled to keep the workforce safe and accounted for; technologically and environmentally equipped to perform work, and tending to employee safety, health and support needs. The workplace and workforce reeled while HR navigated workforce capacity balancing issues; while redeploying, furloughing, or reducing workers or while attempting to continue to hire and onboard necessary talent with new, remote processes; and while creating and revising policies, programs, and emergency communication plans. Workers in the millions sought answers, help, leadership, and communication from HR Service Centers that didn’t exist or were woefully understaffed and ill-prepared. World crisis introduced work crisis.
LEAPGEN LAUNCHES LEAPNOW PLATFORM
Responding to an immediate need for triage and support, Leapgen has unveiled LeapNow, a help desk built on the ServiceNow platform in creative partnership with The Anti. LeapNow features a robust knowledge base, Ask-an-Expert digital coaching staffed by Leapgen’s deep bench of industry analysts and workforce management consultants, and a global online community with 24/7 access to industry peers and thought leaders. Leapgen formed a strategic partnership with Slack to support and scale the NOW of Work community; in just weeks, it’s already the world’s largest online community of HR, technology, and business professionals solving new problems in real time around the globe.

Leapgen’s CEO and Co-founder, Jason Averbook, explains the urgent need to learn, understand, and shift our mindset around the new Now of Work. “Opportunities to redefine work happen maybe a few times in a lifetime. We are living in one of those moments right now, and it is our job – the collective HR, HR Technology and Digital HR community – to not only survive, but to reinvent ourselves and our initiatives. This is an opportunity to make sure the new Now of Work is remembered as the day HR changed forever, not as a moment in time where we go back to the work models of old. At Leapgen, our job is to provide the world tools to enable this new Now of Work, and the LeapNow platform brings that vision to life.”
