These moments are fun, but let us be honest, a pizza party cannot fix confusing processes or meetings that should have been emails. Real engagement is shaped less by occasional events and more by how work actually happens every day.

Today, we're discussing a significant evolution in our profession: the CHRO as a business strategist. Because CHROs are not just leading people teams, they're actively contributing to growth, transformation, and enterprise value. 

For a long time, the C-suite felt pretty established: CEO, CFO, COO, maybe a CMO. HR was seen as an essential support function - the guardians of compliance and organisers of company events. W...

Hi, and welcome back to SHRM Global Radio! I didn't really give  much thought before today, but that word - Global - has become so laden with meaning of late – both good and bad, for and against.
