Introduction
As crisis plans were activated during the COVID-19 crisis, it became apparent that HR’s role was, and continues to be, far more strategic and wide-reaching than anticipated. As the HR function did most of the heavy lifting, we are reacting to the identified need to reassess the roles played and skills needed by HR to tackle a crisis. As threats to disruption mount – from global health crises to cyber threats, terrorism to climate change – smart HR functions are upskilling and rehearsing crisis responses to ensure they are ready to react swiftly and effectively in the future.
