ChapmanCG Global HR Interviews

Who doesn’t enjoy a good story? Particularly, ones that inspire us to think differently or to see something with a fresh perspective. Storytelling in the workplace can be a powerful tool to drive talent strategies. Think for a minute about your own organisation and how storytelling is used to share goals, expectations and experiences.

Greg Morley, Vice President, Human Resources at Hasbro, discusses the benefits of corporate storytelling.

The workplace has redefined itself many times over in the past 10 to 20 years and there are no indications that it will stop any time soon. How an organisation does business and where it does business has a direct impact on how it identifies, recruits, trains, and manages its talent. And as business climates change and evolve, so too do the role and responsibilities of Human Resources.

Pramukh Jeyathilak, Organisation & Leadership Development Leader at Amazon discusses developing the optimum HR structure during a time of transformation.

In the battle to be viewed as more strategic and value-adding, HR often takes on greater responsibility. So, is it time for HR to do less in certain areas in order to contribute more meaningfully in others?

Joydeep Mutsuddi, Senior Vice President Human Resources for the Life Sciences Segment at Becton, Dickinson and Company discusses HR in today’s hyper–competitive business environment.

The ever-changing nature of global organisations presents challenges for building and nurturing relationships bounded in trust: the belief that another person has an attitude of goodwill towards them and taking actions according to that belief. As business leaders, we understand that trust is important, but why does it matter so much to organisational performance?

Greg Shuler, Chief Talent Officer at J. Walter Thompson Company for the Middle East & North Africa, discusses how to harness the power of trust to improve organisational performance.

Employee experience has emerged as a disruptive force in HR. Social media, cloud, analytics and related technologies now offer HR leaders with a

plethora of tools to unlock the potential of employees by engaging with them throughout the entire employee relationship life-cycle. To what

extent should the type of design that drives customer experience influence the design and delivery of the employee experience?

Kausik Sarkar, VP and Global HR Head – Operations at Baxalta discusses the case for improving employee experience in the digital era.

There is no question that gendered stereotypes influence educational choices, this can deter many girls and women from developing skills in maths and science that later restricts entry to occupations and industries over-represented by men. Leaders in male-centric industries have in many ways failed to increase female representation and strengthen the pipeline of talent. But, many progressive organisations are making strides to develop integrated gender diversity strategies to attract, recruit, retain and develop female talent.

Caroline Bosch, Pacific HR Director at Honeywell, discusses the evolution of gender diversity strategies.

It’s one thing to be responsible for supporting the global HR operational needs of a sizeable organisation, it’s quite another to do it well in today’s dynamic business environment. Global consistency and standards ensure efficiency and scale and local flexibility drives agility and growth. Now, more than ever, the time is right for HR to become a key strategic force in major corporations.

Jamie Marchand, Vice President of HR Operations at Pall Corporation discusses ‘high-impact’ HR.

Organisational capability enables strategy. As a framework, it can take many forms by drawing upon and aligning people, systems, structures, technologies and culture. Building organisational capability, fosters innovation, transformation and change. But, how does the business (and HR) identify, assess and advance organisational capabilities?

Michael Ehret, Vice President, Human Resources, Supply Chain at Johnson & Johnson, discusses how to identify, assess and advance organisational capabilities.

The rapidly changing nature of work is creating new challenges and opportunities that organisations can only meet with flexible working arrangements. But, even if the benefits of flexibility such as increased engagement and productivity are widely recognised, leaders must adapt their management styles to leverage the opportunities for maximum competitive advantage.

David Arkell, HR Leader - Australia, New Zealand and Papa New Guinea at GE discusses how allowing flexible working arrangements impact employee engagement and productivity.

A lot of emphasis, and money, is given to corporate branding. But, as the global competition for talent only grows more challenging, organisations are realising the importance of not only their product image, but their reputation as an employer.

Lilly Liang, Vice President of Human Resources for Asia Pacific and Africa at Nike, discusses how to become an employer of choice.
