Expanding the Horizon: Additional Trends to Consider

Action for Today: Implement metrics to measure DEI progress and ensure leadership accountability.

HR’s Role in Leading the Workforce of the Future

HR’s responsibility goes beyond preparing employees for change. It’s about enabling transformation at every level of the organization:
