Future Fit – Reimagining HR
In this episode of Ibec WorkTalks, Vicky O’Neill, HR Strategy Specialist at Ibec, and Max Blumberg, Founder of Blumberg Partnership, HR & People Analytics Innovator and Advisor, discuss the impact of the evolving model of HR and what will required from the HR function into the future.
The role of HR has undergone significant transformation over the years. While we agree that HR should be a strategic partner, there's a nuanced perspective to consider. Max’s research proposes a pivot in how HR is structured to focus more directly on the capabilities required for successful strategy execution.
The pivot relies on a combination of two things: (a) a new set of design criteria (objectives) for HR and the HRBPs – delivering the required workforce and strategic capabilities that enable the business outcomes, and (b) new processes for identifying, measuring, and improving the needed workforce and strategic capabilities.
