4.1 The future of HR (is giving transactional work the boot), with James Devine

Did HR miss its chance to win real recognition after the pandemic?
Possibly.
Can HR win that acclaim anyway?
Absolutely.
As automated HR technology becomes ever-more sophisticated, HR practitioners are being given a golden chance to do away with time-consuming transactional work and get stuck into real strategic people issues.
But what's stopping them? All too often, it's HR themselves. In the premiere of the HR Most Influential Podcast series 4, our 2024 HR Most Influential #1 practitioner, James Devine, director and head of healthcare workforce practice at KPMG UK, joins HR magazine editor Charissa King to discuss what the profession needs to do over the next two years to fulfil its potential as a high-impact strategic function.
