What is Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO)?

Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) is the executive responsible for the organisation's people strategy. Traditionally, the role has focused on workforce planning, recruitment, performance management, reward, employee relations and organisational development.


As organisations become more adaptive and AI-enabled, the CHRO's role is expanding beyond human resources. Increasingly, it encompasses organisational capability, culture, leadership, talent ecosystems, workforce transformation and the effective collaboration between people and AI.


In an Intelligent Organisation, the CHRO is a steward of the organisation's vitality, ensuring that people, teams and organisational design evolve together to create a resilient, adaptable and high-performing enterprise.


The profession is currently in a transitive state whereby some CHROs continue to take a more industrial era approach.
