Demystifying HR Transformation – Cutting Through the Buzz

HR transformation is a term that gets thrown around a lot. But what does it really mean? Is it just about new technologies and processes, or is there something deeper at play?

In my latest conversation with Martijn, we tackled some of the most pressing questions in HR today:

✅ What exactly is an HR operating model, and why does it matter?

✅ How do you know if your HR structure is actually working?

✅ What are the biggest obstacles in transformation—especially when facing internal resistance?

✅ How can HR move from an admin-heavy function to a true enabler of business success?

💡 One powerful statement from our discussion stuck with me:

👉 “HR is a strategic enabler—but only if we understand the business drivers first.”

👉 “HR needs to stop looking at engagement alone and start measuring work friction—how much effort does it take employees to actually get things done?”

👉 “If you’re only evaluating your HR model once a year, you’re already too late. Business moves too fast for annual reviews.”

HR is at a crossroads. The choices we make today will determine whether HR remains a vital strategic function—or gets left behind.

💡 How do you see HR evolving in the next 5-10 years?
