‘CPOs: From HR to workforce transformation’ whitepaper
How do HR leaders align people strategy to business objectives? What investment in skills, mindset and ways of working does HR need to demonstrate value back to the business? How do you deliver better alignment between functions, such as People Analytics, Change, Organisation Design, Talent?
To introduce our campaign, ‘Demystifying the HR operating model‘, we’ve launched a whitepaper that canvasses the opinions of business leaders, HR leaders and transformation specialists across 30 organisations on the wide-ranging topic of workforce transformation, looking to answer these questions and more.
We explored the challenges of terms such as ‘workforce transformation’ and its implications, as well as the different types of setups that exist within HR teams of varying shapes and sizes, across a variety of industries.
