The last few years have seen a stream of problems for HR: the challenges of the pandemic, widespread quitting and layoffs, a move to hybrid work and a recent nine-year high for employee disengagement. The truth is that two-thirds of senior HR leaders think their organisation is struggling to keep up with changing workplace challenges like these. Nearly 70% are worried about engaging hybrid or remote workers. Additionally, two-thirds are concerned about providing four-day work weeks, while 65% say their influence upon the C-suite is only strong when there is an urgent or short-term problem.

As the lines between operational and strategic HR continue to blur, HR leaders are facing challenges in prioritising the strategic aspects of their roles. They are increasingly required to be involved in day-to-day activities to ensure the business goals are met. Consequently, many HR leaders find themselves lacking empowerment, primarily due to their predominantly operational focus. How do you break the cycle of being an operational-focused HR function and empower HR leaders to contribute strategically to the organisation’s goals? How can HR leaders have a strong, ongoing influence in the C-suite, and ensure that HR’s voice is consistently heard and valued in strategic decision-making processes?

Join an exciting roundtable of senior HR professionals to explore effective strategies to enable your HR department to bridge the HR-CEO gap and amplify your strategic impact..
