To understand how the pandemic has changed the conversation in the boardroom,
earlier in 2022, Deloitte interviewed chief human resources officers (CHROs) from
15 leading organizations across multiple industries, including financial services,
consumer products, technology, telecommunications, energy, retail, manufacturing,
and hospitality. We asked which workforce issues have been elevated to the board
level and which topics are likely to remain there for the long term. We also inquired
how the CHRO-board of director relationship evolved during the crisis and what
skills CHROs have had to draw upon to succeed in their new environment. We spoke
to diverse industries and geographies, and the feedback was largely consistent,
suggesting that the role of today’s CHRO is becoming more strategic, influential, and
demanding—or, as one executive stated, “I don’t remember a time when CHROs
had as much time in front of the board as over the past two years."
