When the coronavirus pandemic erupted, companies had to change. Many business-as-usual approaches to serving customers, working with suppliers, and collaborating with colleagues—or just getting anything done—would have failed. They had to increase the speed of decision-making while improving productivity, using technology and data in new ways, and accelerating the scope and scale of innovation. And it worked.

The need for speed to reinvent the workplace for tomorrow has never been greater. And to make it work, we need a more horizontal HR team to help business adapt and transform. Companies need an HR organisation which works as a true partner to the business, ceding control and co-owning outcomes with other stakeholders.

Businesses need “One HR” that will set the agenda to reinventing the workplace for tomorrow, at speed. In this panel discussion by People Matters & LinkedIn Talent Solutions, we look at:

1. The key pivots to keep pace in today’s environment and the new ways of working
2. The new elements of digital transformation and how it has evolved from the three phases– pre-COVID, COVID, Second Wave?
3. Driving growth in digital ecosystems as the workplace becomes increasingly hybrid and remote
4. HR to work horizontally, alongside the business as a true partner, ceding control and co-owning outcomes with other stakeholders
5. OneHR– Moving out of silos to execute complex business challenges such as a pandemic effortlessly by being one team, HR.
