Since 2020, the role of the HR Professional has shifted and become front and center in helping corporations navigate the new demands brought about by the pandemic, social unrest, an aggressive turn in the job market and a new generation of employees with new expectations.
CEO’s have become dependent on the HR Leaders to give guidance, set direction and navigate their organizations in a complex world. HR Leaders have become experts without training in areas not foreseen as being corporate issues to navigate. The respect and dependence on HR professionals who can flex, learn and apply change is the new world of HR!
Let’s reflect on where we’ve been, let’s celebrate what we have accomplished and let’s talk about what’s expected of us going forward and how we can support each other to lead HR and our organizations in this Brave New World.
We will hear from line management on what they have seen and appreciated from their HR Counterparts. What they expect going forward. Let’s hear from HR Leaders who were in the thick of the change. Let’s talk with HR Advisors who helped coach and guide our internal HR Team members. What did they see, what could we have done differently, what do we need to prepare for going forward. Join us!
