CHRO Series Singapore

The Evolving Role of the CHRO in the Future Organisation

Whilst leading the charge on reimagining work in a post pandemic world with strategy and empathy, the role of the CHRO is continuing to evolve.  CEOs are increasingly recognising the value of talent to deliver business outcomes and expect HR leaders to transform traditional HR practices to build organisational resilience and drive value and gain competitive advantage.  Stepping beyond the traditional HR functional management, CHRO’s are now leading the business through enterprise change, talent development and corporate culture.
