The Future of HR is Not What It Used to Be

HR has been at the center of all the action in the workplace for the past two years, triggered by the pandemic situation. This has not only highlighted the importance of HR but also the scope of what they can accomplish. 

The changing work models, the great resignation, acceleration of digitalization, and a growing emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and wellbeing have fundamentally transformed the way businesses and employees function. And with HR professionals at the epicenter of these transitions, it is important that they are equipped with the right skills and technologies to meet constant changes related to evolving employee and employment trends.

The June issue of HR Strategy & Planning Excellence includes informative articles that focus on upskilling HR, the strategic areas HR should focus on, the relevance of human-centric workplaces, the office of the future, and much more.

Equus Software’s Cathy Koslowski in her article, Upskilling HR To Meet The Future Of Work, talks about why the future of recruitment and retention relies on upskilling HR staff and company leaders.

Too often, workplaces have been data-centric, office-centric, or company-centric. How important is it to take a human-centered approach to your business? Aduro's Dr. Toni Best in her article, How HR Pros Can Reimagine Work And The Definition Of Success, talks about making workplaces more human-centric.

“It is time for HR departments to re-evaluate their current focus, learn from the current crisis and leverage today’s situation to build sustainable value for the future,” says AIHR's Erik van Vulpen, in his article, Here’s How HR Can Get Out Of The Crisis Stronger.
