In today's changing world leaders are increasingly looking to better understand their investment in talent. This creates a unique opportunity for talent and HR professional to pivot from administrative roles to business advisors who are now helping leaders to build and engage a workforce for the future. This future workforce can invite new skills and mindsets as well as leveraging technology and automation to drive efficiencies. CEOs and leaders have long recognized that diversity of thought can differentiate their business but only when the leaders are inclusive to allow differences to flourish will the benefits be fully realized in terms of innovations and revenue.
