Human Resources professionals are faced with constant change as their organizations work to advance goals, develop projects, and shape the corporate culture of senior management and its workforce. It falls to them to implement strategies from the top down, and also to understand feedback and input from grassroots and frontline workers. Human Resources bridges divides between individuals, teams, departments, and jurisdictions that otherwise may have little direct contact. Strategic human resources management encompasses many trends, including talent acquisition, development, and retention, digital transformation, the ‘New Normal of Work, outsourcing HR, new thinking on human capital management, and so many other issues and ideas. CHROs and other HR executives need to innovate and collaborate as they engage individually and collectively with new and ongoing challenges and opportunities.
