The pandemic ushered in a new slew of tasks and problems for HR to solve. And with them came a major pivot for the function as a whole. HR is shedding its reputation as a compliance-driven department as more people understand what HR pros have known all along: business results require people-centric solutions.
Think about it: HR’s job is to hire the best people, engage and retain those people, and ensure they work well together. Imagine how different it looks to perform each of those individual functions now, compared to even just a few years ago.
Evolving needs call for evolving HR skill sets
To perform their many roles simultaneously, HR pros need to adapt to a world that’s rapidly changing. That means constantly learning and incorporating new skills to handle new expectations, regulations, and responsibilities, while continuing to meet the ever-changing needs of the business.
Luckily, while demands are higher than ever, HR professionals also have more resources at their disposal than ever. Over the last few years, we’ve witnessed an influx of technology solutions that HR pros are leveraging to upskill and reskill their entire workforce, including themselves.
