The Role of HR in Corporate Governance

Abstract

Abstract

In the era of epic disruption, HR has positioned itself as a strategic business partner, and in the fourth industrial revolution, it has taken up business priorities as its own to ensure business success. As agents of change for making people feel truly valued, six imperatives: Structure, Systems Selection/Succession, Separation, Standing Up and Safety form the pillars which sustain corporate governance and serve as the lodestar for the organisation. This article attempts to define the roles and responsibilities and rehumanise this function, keeping in mind the challenging conditions. The role of the employee and contracts are fast changing, and HR has to be able to confront and deliver around the 6 S’s for the future too.
