Aligning people and business strategy
The landscape of Human Resources (HR) is not just changing — it’s metamorphosing. The roles and responsibilities that were once the cornerstone of HR are being redefined in light of a globalised workforce, the ubiquity of remote working, the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, advances in data analytics, the impact of AI in the workplace and an ever-changing regulatory landscape. It is within this context that we introduce “Strategic HR Thinking: Aligning People and Business Strategy,” a seminal guide targeted at CEOs, CHROs, HR managers, and any forward-thinking individual committed to catalysing business growth through innovative HR practices.
