‘Back to human’: Why HR leaders want to focus on people again

As the digital age advances, the human element in Human Resources often gets overshadowed. 'Back to Human' explores the renewed emphasis on people-centric approaches in HR, underscoring the importance of personal connection in fostering a productive and harmonious workplace.

Human-resource leaders have found themselves on a cost-efficiency treadmill

Processes have replaced the creativity and innovation they need to attract and develop talent, manage and reward performance, and optimize workforce strategy

HR’s role: From processes to people

To build organizational resilience and generate value, CHROs and their teams must connect these insights to the business in four ways

Act as ‘human capitalists’: Expand the view of talent to the whole ecosystem

The focus of talent acquisition must spread across the entire organization-or at least to the specific sites or pockets of excellence where winning on talent is critical for a company’s success

Engage more directly and deeply with employees

Key processes should always be undertaken face-to-face or with enough individual attention to make remote interactions feel like personal ones.

Organizing for the future: HR as a role model

HR leaders should focus on the organization’s internal culture and readiness and capacity for change yet remain constantly aware of the broader human ecosystem and the markets from which they draw talent.

Let employees bring their ‘whole person’ to work

HR can shift from mechanistic skill and talent management to addressing the employee experience in a more targeted, dynamic way

Spread agile decision making to roles across the organization

Of the CHROs interviewed, 85 percent are thinking about how to empower more employees to make good decisions quickly
