How HR Can Shape Business Strategy and Prove Its Impact (an Interview with Dave Ulrich)

Digital HR Leaders with David Green

Is HR leading the business, or just keeping up with it?

As complexity increases and resources tighten, the role of HR is under more pressure than ever. But within this challenge lies a powerful opportunity - for HR to become a driving force in delivering value to all stakeholders: employees, customers and investors.

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined once again by Dave Ulrich, Co-Founder of The RBL Group and widely recognised as the father of modern HR. Building on the success of his earlier episode with Stacia Garr, Dave returns for a reflective and practical conversation on how HR can step up to shape business strategy and deliver stakeholder value.

Join them as they dive deep into:

• Why the HR role is becoming more complex

• What stops HR from taking the lead, and how to overcome those barriers

• What strategic HR looks like when it’s aligned to stakeholder value

• The outcome-focused metrics that matter most to the business

• How AI can support - or distract from - HR’s true purpose

• The critical skills and mindsets HR leaders need for the future

• Where work and employee experience might be headed next

If you're an HR leader looking to have more influence and impact, this episode, sponsored by HiBob, is definitely a conversation you’ll want to revisit and take notes on.
