THEME - HR : REINVENT, REBUILD & REJUVENATE

As organizations adapt to new ways of working with a combination of remote and on- site employees, leaders will

need to reskill, redeploy, and reorganize their people to support changing business demands.

The COVID-19 crisis has compelled many leaders to rethink ways of working. While the nature and purpose of the HR function have been evolving for years, the demands of the pandemic dramatically accelerated this transition.

Stepping up to this new responsibility requires HR to transform itself, adopting the organizational principles and key performance indicators of core business functions. HR leaders need to drive more agile and fluid organizations, shift the role of business partners, and drive the employee experience—and do it all with a clear leadership mandate.
