State of Agile HR
Gidion Peters, speaker and author on the topic of Agile HR and initiator of the State of Agile HR, observes that HR professionals are often still discovering the workings and value of Agile HR. “HR departments can be of great influence in the transformation towards an agile organization. To properly support the business in this transformation it is essential to be well-informed about developments in the field of business agility. With the State of Agile HR, we hope to provide answers and knowledge provided by peers in the HR industry. This will help them on their agile journey: whether that is taking small steps or transforming towards an agile HR department or organization.’
Kirsten Bakker, who conducts research for the HU Univerisity of Applied Sciences within Human Resource Management, thinks that Agile HR can be a great source of inspiration for current HR departments. “Not only is there an opportunity for HR departments to support the business in its ongoing change and increased flexibility. An HR department that embraces Agile itself, might become more productive, add more value and provide HR professionals with more autonomy. In the end, whether these benefits are accrued, is an outcome of how well HR is able to manage its own change.”
