Session Focus: Building a Better HR Skillset

In this insightful session, HR leaders debated the roles, responsibilities and roadmaps needed to prepare HR professionals for the "quiet tsunami" of artificial intelligence and digital transformation disrupting the workforce.

With education's half-life now less than 4 years and over 50% of S&P 500 companies predicted to be replaced by 2027, the compelling takeaway was clear: HR must continuously upskill and reskill, potentially through certifications, to remain relevant and aligned with their company's AI-driven digital transformation.

As Josh Bersin states: "Artificial intelligence won't take your job, someone who embraces AI will."

Key takeaways highlighted the importance of:

1) HR reskilling through certifications focused on not just knowledge, but hands-on application, case studies and understanding AI's ethical implications.

2) A balanced approach with both companies providing time/resources and individuals taking ownership of self-directed learning.

3) Closing HR's skills gap by choosing the right certification roadmaps suited to your organization's digital strategy and transformation needs.

With AI tsunamis disrupting HR, the time is now to chart your reskilling journey through strategic certifications so you can ride the wave, not be overcome by it.
