In a special conversation with People Matters, Eva Sage-Gavin, Senior Managing Director, Global Talent and Organization Practice, Accenture, shares her perspectives on the evolving equation between the businesses and CHROs, harnessing the power of digital technologies to innovate, unlock new sources of value, and reinventing the role of the CHRO for the future.
The future of work is changing and so are the expectations from leaders and employees alike. With talent becoming an imperative, the role of HR and a CHRO has elevated in the recent times. But in a world that’s becoming competitive, digital, and AI-driven by the minute, what role will a CHRO play in the future workplace? What does the CHRO need to be equipped with to solve challenges around reinventing the business and bringing transformation through human capital?
In an exclusive conversation with People Matters, Eva Sage-Gavin, Senior Managing Director, Global Talent and Organization Practice, Accenture, sheds light on how the equations between the CHROs and businesses have changed over time and what the role of the CHRO entails when it comes to the future of work. Eva Sage-Gavin is responsible for shaping the market strategy for the Talent & Organization practice across Accenture, including its offerings and investment initiatives. She leads the team that helps Accenture’s clients harness digital technologies and evolve their workforces to innovate, unlock new sources of value and “lead in the new.” She also plays a pivotal role in shaping the practice’s market strategy, including offerings and investments. In her previous role, she served as a senior advisor at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and contributed to BCG's CEO Advisory Practice, directly coaching CEOs. She has also served as a senior adviser to G100 companies, supporting CEOs, board directors and CHROs and has served for over 30 years in executive human resource officer and C-suite leadership roles at companies like Gap Inc, PepsiCo, Disney, Sun Microsystems and Xerox.
How has role of the CHRO and the expectations from the role changed over time? How has this influenced the equation that the CHRO shares with other business heads?
