HRchat Podcast

In this HRchat episode we consider the concept of Systemic HR. Bill Banham's guest is Kathi Enderes, Senior Vice President, Research and Global Industry Analyst at The Josh Bersin Company. Organizations face complex, ‘post-industrial age’ challenges, that have HR at the heart of them. These include: Designing hybrid work approaches; resdesigning job roles with AI in mind; and navigating through ongoing huge societal movements relating to inclusion and mental health. Systemic HR is a new model emerging for how to design HR to meet these colossal challenges, being used now by the highest-achieving organizations studied in their research. Meanwhile, two-thirds of HR teams are currently primarily administrative functions; and aren't set up to meet these challenges. Questions for Kathi include: We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.
