For years, HR as a function has been seen to find the right candidates for the varied roles of the business. It was usually followed up with instilling discipline in them in executing their responsibilities for the business to achieve the set goals. With time, the roles have evolved to become crucial one in finding not just the right talent but to understand the issues of the workforce. The people-centric approach ensures that business leaders try to offer a meaningful life to their workforce that encourages them to work better for the overall business growth. In today’s episode, we discuss the evolving role of HR.

[00:37] – About Andrea Butcher

• Andrea is the Chief Executive Officer of HRD Advisory Group. 
• She’s on the board of Junior Achievement of Central Indiana, which is the India Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
• Andrea is a 500, circle mentor for Pass the Torch For Women.
• She is also the co-founder of Next Gen Talent. 

[02:39] – What has changed and evolved in the HR function over the last three or four decades?

• HR leaders, today, have an opportunity to impact the business through talent and people lens in a way that they didn’t before. 
• It happens because the workforce is demanding it. 
• We want to have a relationship with our business, and we want our business to be about much more than profits. We want our business to be a place where we can grow and develop and improve. Businesses are rising to the challenge.

[04:00] – How has the CHRO ‘s role become such a critical part of the CEO’s inner circle?

• We are recognising that businesses don’t grow, people do. 
• Business is tapping into and leveraging the strengths and the giftedness of the people in our businesses. 
• We’ve got to connect with the people and understand the talent that’s there and go so much deeper.
• One of the things I appreciate about the pandemic is the opportunity to peer into each other’s lives in ways we never have before. I really think it created much more of a level ground for talent to show up in ways they hadn’t before.
• It’s interesting because we’re showing up virtually, but you’re also seeing a part of my life that hadn’t been shown previously. And that elicited all these parts of the human that had previously been kept down.
• People are demanding authenticity, and transparency in ways they haven’t had because we’ve been real and transparent over the last couple of years. 

[08:12] – What are your thoughts on great resignations and great terminations?

• I’ve also heard it referred to as the Great Awakening.
• As an executive coach, I work with a lot of leaders just on helping them find, what is their purpose.
• Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen masses of people asking questions about life, like, “What do I want? And what do I want my experience to be?”
• It’s an indication of a much bigger movement.
• For me, the great resignation and people being people leaving their organizations is an indication that there’s something stirring inside them. And I think that’s a good stir.
