For organisations to flourish, investing in HR capability can be vital. The ongoing pandemic clearly shows how central HR leadership is to success with huge potential to create change in a business and this is particularly true in D&I.
As HR teams and organisations focus on ensuring D&I is embedded in their day to day activity there is an increasing need to invest in this core skill.
Day to day challenges at local and global levels include:
D&I Foundational Knowledge
Establish foundational knowledge around D&I and be clear on the role of HR in the D&I journey.
Technical Skills
Recognise the technical skills that HR colleagues need to learn and practise in order to embed D&I at every stage of the employee lifecycle.
Behavioural Competencies
Invest in the behavioural competencies needed to apply the technical knowledge that will create transformational change.
