BONUS: Developing the HR Skills of the Future - PAFOW panel with RJ Milnor, Heather Whiteman and Ian Bailie

HR doesn't just need to do digital, it needs to be digital, it simply has to. Put another way, HR must become more digital and analytical to deliver greater business value. This episode is a break from our usual format. It features a panel discussion which took place at the recent People Analytics and Future of Work conference in San Francisco.

The discussion was titled HR skills of the future and how to develop them. It features Heather Whiteman, who lectures on people analytics at UC Berkeley, having spent six years previously as Global Head of People Strategy, Analytics, Learning and Operations at GE Digital. RJ Milnor who is the Global Head of People Analytics at Uber and is a previous guest on the show, and Ian Bailie, Managing Director of myHRfuture who previously held various roles at Cisco around Workforce Planning, People Analytics and Talent Acquisition operations, and David Green is the moderator.

The topics the panel and David talk about are:

• The skills business leaders and CHRO’s are increasingly needing from their HR professionals
• The evolution in learning and how it has been delivered to HR
• The ways to help HR professionals feel more comfortable and confident having data-driven conversations
• How HR professionals can strike a balance in developing both soft and hard skills

This episode is a must listen for CHRO’s, Chief Learning Officers, Heads of Organisational Design, those working in a workforce planning or people analytics role, and indeed anyone interested in the skills HR professionals require now and in the future.
