The Role of HR as R&D

HR is increasingly viewed as the new research and development (R&D) department within organizations. Successful companies are those that encourage experimentation and innovation among their employees rather than stifling creativity with overly restrictive policies. This shift recognizes the importance of leveraging human potential alongside artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance organizational learning and efficiency. Organizations that not only allow but incentivize the sharing of innovative ideas from employees will thrive, as opposed to those with hidden or secretive practices stifling progress.
