"There are too many people in HR still who don't think commercially, and I think that's a mistake." 
  

Key takeaways: As organisation continue to adjust to a post-COVID digital world, HR is going to be a driving force behind building the new world of work. As such, HR professionals need to be equipped with the skillset, mindset, and toolset to respond appropriately and support organisations and employees in rising to the challenge of confidently navigating change. To achieve this, HR professionals need to develop skills in key areas such as business acumen, change management, data analysis, programme management, design thinking, user experience and marketing.
