The session will cover the principal areas of HR transformation
(consolidation, standardisation, automation and changing relationships with stakeholders). It will look at why organisations wish to change, what benefits they have accrued and the challenges they face.

What will delegates learn?

• HR performs a number of roles beyond delivering services, including facilitating line management of employees, managing risk and guarding organisational values.
• There has been a lot of structural change within HR but in a wide variety of forms, not just a pure ‘Ulrich’ one.
• Processes have been widely standardised, simplified and automated, but there are question marks over the desirable limits to standardisation and automation.
• There has been less change in the balance of work between HR and the line, and HR seems frustrated that more has not been transferred. None the less, there is a line-HR partnership on a range of activities.
• Different perspectives on career paths between senior and junior staff.
• The need for strategic, influencing and business skills, rather than HR knowledge or interpersonal competencies.
