The world of HR is changing—fast. Traditional career ladders are giving way to more dynamic career lattices, prompting organizations to rethink how they upskill their HR teams. In this HRPA-exclusive session, we’ll share insights from our latest research into the evolution of HR careers and explore what it means to build the right skills for the future of the profession. We’ll discuss key findings on how HR roles are shifting, highlight both common and overlooked career paths, and examine what these changing patterns mean for skills development and learning strategies. The session will also address why a one-size-fits-all approach to HR development is no longer effective, and how to design future-ready HR careers that are both sustainable and adaptive.
