Evidence-based HR

Informing strategic decision-making

This, proponents of evidence-based HR (EBHR) say, will lead to better questioning, decision-making and ultimately business outcomes.

Navigating the Future: Assessing the Relevance of HR Operating Models


Given the profound shifts taking place in the world of work today and the fact many HR functions continue to struggle to make or prove strategic business impact, there is increasing interest and discussion on what the appropriate HR operating model for the future looks like. In this CHRO briefing we use the best available evidence to explore areas including:

  • The drivers behind calls for a radical rethink of how HR operates and is structured
  • The various options available for CHROs looking to restructure their HR operating model
  • Whether the volume of noise around a ‘new’ HR operating model is truly reflective of reality in organizations, or whether Ulrich still reigns supreme (and why)
