Redefining Talent: Insights from the Global C-suite Study - The CHRO perspective

Technological advances are disrupting the status quo and bringing huge turmoil in their wake. Industries are converging, and new competitors emerging, as never before. The nature of work is changing and demand for digital expertise is soaring, while other skills are becoming defunct. So how can CHROs chart a path through the turbulence and help their fellow executives understand the impact on the workforce? In the first part of our latest C-suite Study, we interviewed 5,247 business leaders to find out what they believe the future holds and how they’re positioning their organizations to prosper in the “age of disruption.”1 This report probes more deeply into the views of the 601 CHROs who contributed to our research. We discovered that the most perceptive CHROs are treating present and potential employees like customers. They’re also capitalizing on emerging technologies to improve the employee experience, building a flexible skills base, drawing on analytics to predict future workforce trends and creating a social dialogue with employees to manage change more effectively.
