"Leaders need to be bold. It's the organizations that are led by leaders who are happy to take their chief people officer or their talent acquisition leader side-by-side with them on the journey over the next 3-5 years, who I genuinely believe will be in the position to capitalize on some competitive advantage."

What do CEOs expect of their CHROs? How can you unleash the "human magic" in your workforce? What strategies are CEOs using to overcome critical skills gaps? And how can they best work with their chief people officers to gain a competitive business advantage?

Watch to learn how CEOs see the role of their chief people officers, what it means to effectively lead people through difficult times, how to inspire your workforce to work toward organizational goals, how businesses are tapping larger strategic ecosystems that impact the world of work, and what the talent journey will look like over the next few years.
