Terrific insights shared by Josh Bersin about arguably the most transformative time in the world of HR.

As an educator, I believe in the transformative power of education. Research from Josh Bersin shows that of all the HR investments we make, leadership development drives the most value. #leadershipdevelopment #executiveeducation #corporatelearning #hr #chro

Worth reading. From systemic HR to moving talent acquisition from a fulfillment center to a growth center, etc., this is an interesting take on the value of and challenges in the CHRO role.

If you have not listened to Josh Bersin before, take just under 8 minutes as a business leader and listen to his video here. Now more than ever, talent and HR are the right hand of the organization, as his commentary stated before the CFO role. His capability model for HR encompasses 94 areas! 94. What other functional area has this many domains to know and be able to strategize about? This is not about payroll and benefits anymore. It is so much more. “Imagine the variety of issues that CHROs must face: everything from #AIstrategy to #globalculture to #employeeexperience, #pay, #diversity, [#MandA] and more. This is why most high-impact CHROs have multi-disciplinary backgrounds (social sciences, psychology, history, and some in #STEM).” HR often owns “… the facilities strategy (because facilities impact hybrid work, benefits, and work experience), the total employee experience strategy (including mental health and wellbeing), the productivity strategy, as well as the compliance, training, recruiting, pay, and performance program. The role continues to expand…” This is not your father’s HR anymore. Thank you Josh Bersin and team for elevating the role of people leaders!

The CHRO - in charge of the ever expanding people palette, and a human Swiss army knife! And so important to be at the table when it comes to people matters. And when is this? Well, basically everytime, as people is our most important resource. Josh Bersin gives a great current overview of the role and challenges of a CHRO. And a bit of insight into why HR is a given in the C-suite (which is rather medieval that we are still discussing).
