KILLER QUOTES

Sean Moffitt: Speaker 1: (time code 25:05)

The biggest emerging future forces that I believe are here to stay:

#1 The rise of HR as a central strategic function as companies are struggling to rethink their relationship with talent

#2 The importance of purpose for companies as a core value that is not only expressed on paper but lived through clear and explicit action

On the rise of HR, the playing field has gotten so complex: we can work from anywhere, talent can live far away from the traditional headquarters, and the skills we need to make our companies strong are changing so quickly that there needs to be upskilling in place like never before.
