Steer the ship
Probably the most talked-about subject among the HR fraternity not only in the country but globally has been about the future of the HR function. When it was said that there would be no HR as a function in organizations a few years back, it was also hoped that HR would emerge stronger in the future. Every time we discuss what will happen to this function, what role it would require to perform, or how it should maintain its relevance, it comes out with refreshing colors. The crisis imposed on the human race by the pandemic has disrupted businesses on a very large scale, turning things upside down, where the importance of people in businesses was realized from a new perspective. Here, the HR function got the opportunity to emerge as a strong contender to prove its worth in navigating the business in hard times. The role of the CHRO became more crucial than ever before, so now HR has to evolve continuously, think differently, and act differently.
I am very optimistic and confident about the future of the HR function. It is neither going to diminish its value nor lose relevance. It will remain in the center of business and steer the ship in the coming times. No business can afford to lose sight of people issues. No matter how many technologies come in, nothing can replace human power. Yes, it can add comfort, productivity, and efficiency. So, the future of the HR function will be a perfect blending of human and digital power. Even though the HR function implies human interaction with strong personal connections, it will evolve with technology for a future that will be compatible with each other. And in all this, HR should not lose sight of living for its purpose and values and continuously define and refine those values.
While witnessing the dynamic movement from conventional HR to tech-supported operations, it must focus on impact. How HR processes, systems, and decisions impact the quality of life of employees and the engagement level at the workplace would be most relevant in times to come. It will be more adaptable and flexible to change. In the near future, HR leaders may prioritize initiatives that strengthen the organization's ability to build a leadership pipeline, responsive work culture, and enhance employee experience. This edition cover story is all about the future of HR where renowned Business and HR leaders and pioneers of this function in the country unfold the role of the HR function in the future.
