The Future of HR: Building Your Capabilities Pt. 2 - From Levels 3 to 5...And Beyond!

At Work with The Ready

In this miniseries, Brave New Work’s Rodney Evans is joined by friend-of-the-pod and Ready OG Sam Spurlin to dive into how HR can become more resilient, efficient, and equitable.

Last week, Rodney and Sam teamed up with Future of HR team member Meg Saxby to explore our new maturity model, assessment, and the six key capabilities every HR department needs to learn, strengthen, and evolve to succeed in the future of work. Today, on episode 4, Rodney, Sam, and Meg finish that two-parter. Which reminds us: If you haven’t yet listened to last week’s episode, do that first for a 101 overview of our maturity model.

This episode focuses on the capabilities needed to succeed in Levels 3-5 (and our secret bonus level):

• Facilitation and Future of Work Coaching
• Solution Design and Market Management
• Data Literacy and Automation
