The Future of HR: 10 Strategies for Every Human Resources Team
I ran across an INC article titled “What Does the Future of Human Resources Look Like?” I thought it was an interesting read, in particular the last paragraph where the author talks about job title changes. Their takeaway is that moving from job titles like chief human resources officer to chief experience officer signal a change in the profession.
I’m not sure that I agree with that. The candidate experience and employee experience have always been a part of HR. Maybe we didn’t call it the same thing. Or give it the same priority. But it’s been there.
I do believe though, articles like the INC one should prompt HR departments to have dedicated, intentional conversations about their function. Not simply what policies and programs do we want to implement in the year ahead, but where do we see ourselves going and is our work supporting it. To offer some perspective, here are a few of the most popular posts from HR Bartender that relate to the human resources function.
