HR Leaders Under Pressure: How Josh Bersin’s New Advisory Service is Elevating the CHRO Role

The role of the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) has never been more critical—or more challenging. With organizations navigating economic uncertainty, talent shortages, and rapidly changing workforce dynamics, CHROs are expected to do more than manage HR functions—they are now strategic architects of the modern workplace.

Recognizing this shift, Josh Bersin Company has launched a new Research and Advisory Service specifically for CHROs, aimed at helping HR leaders tackle today’s most pressing workforce challenges. This service provides exclusive research, strategic guidance, and benchmarking insights to ensure CHROs can lead with confidence.

Why This Matters for CHROs and HR Teams

The new advisory service arrives at a time when HR is playing an increasingly strategic role in business success. HR leaders must now make data-driven decisions about talent acquisition, employee engagement, DEI, workforce automation, and leadership development—all while balancing the expectations of both executives and employees.

Bersin’s Research and Advisory Service for CHROs will provide:

✔️ Exclusive research & insights into workforce trends and best practices

✔️ Strategic benchmarking to compare HR performance with industry leaders

✔️ Expert briefings & networking opportunities to stay ahead of the curve

The Evolution of the CHRO Role

HR is no longer just about compliance and hiring—it’s about driving business transformation. CHROs are expected to work alongside the CEO, CFO, and CIO to shape organizational strategy, build resilient workforces, and harness technology to improve talent management.

As HR technology, AI, and automation continue to reshape the workforce, staying informed and adaptable is key. With access to real-time research, peer insights, and expert analysis, CHROs can proactively lead change rather than react to it.

Final Thoughts: HR’s Future is Now

At Purple Acorn, we’re all about amplifying the voices of HR leaders and sharing innovative approaches to talent strategy. The launch of Bersin’s CHRO advisory service is a major signal that HR’s role in business is evolving faster than ever. CHROs who invest in research, collaboration, and future-focused strategies will be the ones shaping the workplaces of tomorrow.
