DeVito adds, “The approach is codified in [Deloitte’s] Future of HR viewpoint, positioning the function as the most appropriate lead for addressing the needs of the enterprise for adopting new business and labor models, technologies, and ways of blending human and machine intelligence.”

To bring this to life, Deloitte has been focused on several HR Transformation assets that help clients envision the Future of HR. Immersive experiences such as the Future of HR Greenhouse Labs and new technologies including implementation bots and virtual assistant prototypes have propelled efficiency and accelerated client deployments of advanced digital technologies.

“With the nature of work rapidly evolving, the future of the enterprise, workforce, and work itself is at stake,” says Michael Stephan, Deloitte Global HR Transformation Leader. “Against this backdrop, HR is playing an increasingly valuable role in solving for organizations’ most pressing issues. At Deloitte, we are focused on envisioning the Future of HR—and elevating the role of the Chief Human Resource Officer— where digital technologies, people, workforce experience and mindset come together to create sustained business value.”

According to ALM, HR operations consulting is defined as “part of operations consulting which forms part of the management consulting services directed at clients’ back office activities. Its objective is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of clients’ functions designed to support the execution of their strategies and the performance of their decision-making systems through services targeted at the missions, resources, processes, and governance of these functions.”

“Moving forward, Deloitte will continue to work with clients to build the symphonic C-suite—where sustained growth can only occur by adopting a digital mindset, focusing on workforce experience, creating a high-impact HR operating model, and establishing a unified engagement platform,” adds Candice Sieg, Deloitte UK Shared Services Capability. “To navigate ongoing disruption posed by Industry 4.0, Deloitte will remain steadfastly committed to delivering solutions that drive end-to-end transformation that realize clients’ Future of HR ambitions.”
