HR’s Biggest Challenge: Driving Business or Holding It Back?
Wednesday 2 April 2025 · 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM BST
About
HR is under pressure to be a strategic driver of business success, but is it truly enabling change or unintentionally creating roadblocks? This session will explore the evolving role of HR, the future of DE&I in the UK amidst global political shifts, and the critical need for HR to let go and empower leaders to take ownership.
Webinar Agenda
DE&I in 2025: Genuine Progress, Token Effort, or Facing Extinction?
- Explore whether DE&I initiatives are genuinely shaping positive workplace change in the UK or creating unforeseen hurdles.
- Discuss how the second Trump presidency and global political instability could radically reshape UK corporate DE&I strategies.
- Evaluate if DE&I is firmly embedded into business strategy or remains a superficial tick-box exercise – could it soon fade entirely?
HR’s Strategic Dilemma: Powering Growth or Causing Gridlock?
- Understand why HR struggles to balance strategic impact with operational tasks and how to overcome this challenge.
- Address HR’s reputation problem: why the function is perceived as slowing innovation rather than enabling agility.
- Learn practical steps to transition from HR-led processes to a vibrant, business-led culture.
Letting Go to Lead: Shifting Accountability to Drive Business Forward
- Debate whether HR is overly involved in employee engagement, performance management, and wellbeing at the expense of leadership accountability.
- Reveal the hidden risks of HR holding too much responsibility and how it weakens overall leadership.
- Discover actionable strategies for effectively transferring ownership to leaders without diminishing HR’s strategic influence.
