There’s a sea change coming to the C-suite, and the Chief Human Resources Officer — or CHRO — is emerging on a wave of new challenges that will transform how companies reinvent themselves in their quest to increase profits and compete in the global marketplace. Shifts in work force demographics have encouraged companies to be more analytical and strategic about recruiting, retaining and managing talent. Accounting and management scandals have intensified the need for a compliance and governance adviser. Increasing globalization is creating offshore labor markets and the need to adopt appropriate programs to capitalize on these markets. These and many other demands have elevated the HR department — and the people who lead it — to new levels of importance. The head of HR increasingly is required to act as both steward and strategist, a leader who not only oversees the day-to-day HR operations but also helps shape and implement overall strategy. Listen to Jeff Schwartz, principal and global practice leader of People and Change for Deloitte Consulting LLP, discuss how today’s CHRO is evolving from manager and administrator of HR functions to both strategist and steward.
