What Is the Future of HR Skills and Education?

Work, the workforce, and the workplace are evolving more quickly than ever. Seismic, economic, political, and societal changes have contributed to a major shift in employees’ expectations from work. Every organization has been on a journey of reinvention, aiming to meet employee demands through processes, policies, tools, technologies—and innovative incentives.
 

Moreover, with the increasing importance on employee experience, greater need to hire and retain employees, growing awareness of DEI, and positive organizational culture, HR’s role in the organization is more crucial than ever.

HR professionals are taking note, and they are taking it seriously. However, traditional education for HR professionals will not be sufficient anymore to keep up with the demand from work, workforce and workplace.

For HR professionals to understand trends and make strategic decisions, they need to be equipped with the skills and education that make them the HR experts that organizations need them to be.
