Finastra's Chief People Officer on How to Transform HR to be more Digital - Interview with Sharon Doherty, Chief People Officer

Welcome to Episode 1 of Series 1 of the Digital HR Leaders podcast where David Green will be chatting to people leaders who are driving transformation in their organisations, as well as other experts in the field on what HR needs to do to prepare for the Future of Work. 

We hear a lot about digital transformation in HR, but how do you achieve this in partnership with the business rather than in isolation? That’s the topic of this week’s Podcast. Our guest today is Sharon Doherty, Chief People Officer at Finastra who until recently spent nearly six years at Vodafone as Global Organisation and People Development Director, where she led Vodafone's approach to Organisational Effectiveness, Resourcing, Talent, Capability, Diversity and Inclusion and Digital Transformation across 30 markets I can’t think of many better guests to have on our first show than Sharon. She is one of a new breed of Chief People Officers. Business focused, data-driven but at the same time people oriented and passionate about diversity and inclusion, where she has led some truly ground-breaking work at Vodafone. 

In this week’s podcast we discuss: 

• The digital transformation of HR at Vodafone, which was done in close partnership with the business   
• How to co-create the employee experience with and for the workforce   
• The work Sharon led at Vodafone around diversity and inclusion  
• The role of the Head of HR in light of Sharon’s new role as CPO at Finastra  
• Finally, we also look ahead and ponder what the role of HR will be in 2025 

This episode is a must listen for anyone who is currently or about to undertake a digital transformation of HR and/or who has a passion for the critical topic of diversity and inclusion. Support for this podcast is brought to you by Culture Amp - find out more at cultureamp.com
