Algorithms and intelligent systems are taking over routine HR tasks, leading to the transformation of the HR function.Three emerging HR roles are People Strategist, People Scientist, and People Technologist, defining the future of HR.People Strategists are business leaders armed with strategic vision, challenging CEOs and connecting people decisions to market outcomes.People Scientists leverage data, behavioral science, and analytics to design interventions for improved employee experience and performance.People Technologists design technology to enhance human potential and create ecosystems where systems and people coexist seamlessly.Indian HR functions must reinvent recruitment, development, and deployment to adapt to the changing HR landscape.HR talent needs to evolve into specialized roles with deep technical knowledge rather than following traditional career paths.Partnerships with other functions and reimagined HR education are essential for HR functions to thrive in the future.This transformation is crucial for India's demographic dividend and requires a shift towards strategic HR drivers rather than support functions.Organizations in India must lead the transformation towards new HR roles or risk falling behind in talent management and performance.
