The role of HR leaders has evolved significantly over the last few years.
Change management, data literacy and tech procurement are not skills traditionally associated with HR, but are becoming increasingly important for those leading the people function within their organizations.
This panel will look at the skills needed today, as well as discuss how the role will continue to evolve and how to prepare the next generation of HR leaders.
Discussion points include:
How has HR evolved over the last 2-5 years – and how have those working in the function had to adapt?
How do soft skills need to evolve to suit evolving employee expectations and generational conflicts?
Why is data-literacy no longer a ‘nice to have’ for HR professionals now?
How can HR as a function better assert itself as a strategic partner within the business?
What is HR’s role in closing the skills gap?
