About the Program

The Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) is the senior executive responsible for shaping and activating the human capital strategy that powers the organization and enables it to achieve its business goals. Their extensive remit includes talent acquisition, employee development, cultural transformation, and diversity initiatives.

As the talent landscape becomes more complex and competitive, the role continues to evolve. CHROs must now adapt to shifting market demands, new workplace dynamics, and disruptive technologies like AI.

Positioned within the C-suite, CHROs are also tasked with collaborating with—and sometimes coaching—other senior executives, promoting a culture that drives engagement and productivity, and ensuring their organizations’ long-term impact, value, and competitiveness. This program prepares learners to step into and excel as CHROs, a role that is more complex and more crucial than ever before.
