Introducing the Flexible HR Department

Expand and Contract your HR Department Without Committing to Headcount

The drive for ideal business performance while maintaining cost efficiency can quickly hit a hard wall when faced with the reality of running an HR department. In addition to the demanding day-to-day requirements of talent acquisition, total rewards, benefits, and learning and development, HR departments often find themselves needing to step up to handle one-time or short-term initiatives such as establishing a new HRIS, building an employee engagement program, or leading the integration as a result of a new acquisition.

This gives HR leaders a dilemma: is it worth staffing up with additional headcount knowing it may not be a permanent need?

There is an effective alternative that removes the risk of investing in headcount while also benefiting from bringing in qualified and energizing talent: HR contractors.

By incorporating contractors into the HR organizational framework, HR leaders can effectively tap into specialized skills for specific projects, optimize resource allocation, energize with a fresh perspective and domain expertise, and maintain financial prudence without the burden of permanent headcount.

Among the clear benefits of turning to contractors are:

  • Access to specialized skills
  • A fresh perspective and external insights
  • Flexibility in your planning
  • Generated savings: both budget and resources
  • Test talent before hiring
  • Keep your core team intact

How 4 leading CHROs are turning to generative AI to boost HR efficiency

October 16, 2023

A hybrid workforce typically refers to the blend of in-person and remote work, but the concept is also increasingly evolving to include the fusion of humans and non-humans—digital assistants fueled by generative AI—in the workplace.

And it’s largely HR leaders who are navigating these changes, according to a panel of chief HR officers who spoke last week during the HR Technology Conference & Exposition in Las Vegas.

Despite the challenges this new responsibility is bringing to HR—from developing guidelines for the usage of the technology in the workplace to helping leaders retain the “human element” as they tap the tech—the leaders agreed generative AI is introducing new efficiencies to their role so they can focus on more high-value work.

“The intersection between AI and HR is having an impact on the workplace,” says Archana Arcot, a panelist and chief people officer of Unifi. “The revolution is happening so fast.”

Ways CHROs are using generative AI

Lani Montoya, CHRO of Pernod Ricard’s North America operations, relies on generative AI to reduce administrative tasks that do not contribute significant value to her role, such as delivering information to employees and assisting with compliance issues.

This enables her and her team to be more efficient, she says.

“We started to look into AI four or five years ago, but only in the last year it’s come into HR,” Montoya says, adding that generative AI is helping HR accomplish more work with less reliance on consultants. “It’s changed the way we work.”

Efficiency has also been a payoff for Tracie Sponenberg, chief people officer of The Granite Group. She uses ChatGPT as a thought partner to help get a jump start on writing complex emails or developing survey questions. She has even embedded it into her Google Docs and Google Sheets.

“I love bright, shiny things,” says Sponenberg, who puts ChatGPT into that category. Read more
