Compass Carter Osborne recently hosted a round table with industry leaders and experts about the ever-evolving role of the Chief People Officer due to the changing commercial landscapes and the challenges this brings.
The following questions were discussed by the expert panel:
- What is front of mind for you as CPO and how have your strategic priorities shifted?
- How are you rising to the challenge and bringing these priorities together to drive profitability and commercial performance?
- When developing your employee experience strategy how have you sought to define, embed and measure it?
- How are you developing strategies to improve the capacity to have and hold onto the critical skills necessary to meet your business’ needs?
- What opportunities do you see to leverage digital innovation, people technology and potentially AI to enhance HR’s ways of working and its partnership with the business?
- How are you applying the digital lens to problem solve, improve and address employee experience and workforce considerations?
- Are you finding, in common with the role of the CPO, and the concept of ‘business leader first’, that the role of your peers is transitioning to a wider organisational business leader role, one that, brings value beyond an area of functional specialism?
