It is important to strike a balance between empowering individual employees and prioritizing the organizational needs of a company. Monet Valenzuela, Senior Director of Talent Development at PVH spoke to the critical juncture we are at, and in summary, thinks the biggest opportunity for growth is from a change agent standpoint. She believes that it is important that we prioritize the role that HR plays in the overall employee experience, and the more that the employer can empower their employees to have and navigate this discussion, the better. The folks participating from Bersin agreed - great companies have great HR functions. To strike a balance, businesses should take a bottom-up approach to enable employees to build their careers based on their capabilities - the data indicates that this will ultimately lead to greater organizational success.

Being an HR professional is a highly complex job that doesn’t always get the prioritization that is necessary to build successful teams, and thus, businesses. Some of the implications associated with not investing in HR teams are high turnover, a reactive approach, and being forced to operate without access to data and tools that competitors may be leveraging. By limiting HR investment, you limit your team’s ability to make strategic decisions, helping them to live up to their full potential.
