Our Advice

Critical Insight

As HR’s strategic scope continues to expand, so do the demands on HR staff. HR has the opportunity to focus on increasing proficiency in technical competencies as well as exploring where to leverage expertise outside of HR in these areas.
As organizations continue to operate in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, HR can improve outcomes by taking a proactive, long-term, and innovative approach to building skills within the workforce.
The benefits of HR digitization are clear, but successful digitization continues to be difficult, with more than half of respondents reporting significant challenges or barriers.
The most pressing skill gap to address in 2023 is that of first-time leaders, who lack critical leadership and strategic competencies needed to be successful in their new roles.
