With HR playing a pivotal role in overall business performance, the need for proficient HR executives has surged. There's a realm of possibilities for those prepared to step up, but to advance, professionals must understand HR law, how to recruit and lead a multi-generational workforce, and to harness the power of data analytics and use insights to drive decisions.
