As strategic leaders, CHROs play a central role in aligning human capital strategies with broader organizational goals, as they also equip their organizations to anticipate and adapt to emerging challenges. SHRM’s new CHRO Priorities and Perspectives report examines the key strategic goals of CHROs in 2025, the range of challenges they face, and their visions for the future of work. The report was based on insights collected in December 2024 from 212 CHROs spanning diverse organizational sizes and industries.
