Traditionally, HR has been seen as more operational than strategic, partly because HR pros were not heavily involved with the business and data. Digitalization of business practices and access to better people analytics means that there’s now a big opportunity for upskilled HR pros to better deliver on business goals.
In HRchat episode 238, we talk about how the role of Human Resources is changing and the reasons to upskill your HR team.
My guest is Erik van Vulpen, Founder of the Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR). Erik is a writer and speaker on all things HR but with a particular interest in people analytics and digital HR.
AIHR’s mission is to make HR future-proofed by offering world-class, online education programs available anywhere, anytime. AIHR offers a range of globally accredited certificate programs from people analytics and learning and development to talent acquisition.
