The Newest Business Trend: C-Level HR Professionals

Over the last twenty years, while there have been an untold amount of changes within the business world, there are two that are possibly the most pertinent. The first was the importance of IT professionals within the work space, and the second, which is almost complete, is recognition of the need for HR professionals.

It was the onset of Internet of Things (I.O.T.) and technology within the workplace becoming such an important factor simply for the facilitation of business that drove CEO’s, CFO’s, and other C level executives to recognize the needed value that IT employees offer.

The Evolution of Business Follows the Times

Along with the digital world that became unlocked for companies, came along a whole wave of employees to fill in the roles that a lot of the older generations couldn’t fill in as well. Incorporating daily business, marketing, and sales techniques within the digital world that the “video-gaming” and millennial generation were perfectly suited to excel in.

This new generation of employees came with a slew of new demands for their employers in order to perform at their best. As such, Employee Engagement, because of these demands, has become the focus (or should have) for many companies. There are already many statistics and studies that have been gathered and completed to back up this trend. With increasing productivity and profitability by up to 202% as was illustrated by Glint, or the floundering employee attrition and retention statistics due to companies failing to meet their employees’ wants, the role of human resource professionals is now more important than ever.
