HR Leaders Demand a Seat at the Table Before It’s Too Late

A Recent Randstad Enterprise survey revealed that Human resources is still fighting for timely involvement in key business decisions. Despite growing recognition of HR’s strategic role, many talent leaders say they are conferred too late, delaying workforce planning and overall business success. 

The survey, conducted in Q4 2024, gathered insights from over 1,000 global HR and business leaders. A striking majority agreed: HR is often brought in after major strategic decisions are made, rather than during the early planning stages. 

Workforce Planning Can’t Be an Afterthought 

Randstad Enterprise CEO Mike Smith highlighted the urgency of this shift. “The last decade has been a period of disruption unlike any other, and talent leaders have played a critical role in navigating organizations through global crises and shifting workforce expectations.” 

Experts warn that sidelining HR in early discussions can cost companies valuable time and resources. The Conference Board previously cautioned that businesses cannot afford to treat workforce planning as an afterthought. With ongoing changes in workplace dynamics and AI-driven transformations, HR’s voice is more crucial than ever. 

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) notes that HR professionals have made significant strides in gaining influence. However, many still struggle to be included in high-level discussions at the right time. 

A key takeaway from Randstad’s report? The future demands that organizations rethink work in the age of AI. Businesses must proactively integrate HR in decision-making to optimize workforce capabilities, balance ethical concerns, and ensure long-term success. 

What’s Next? 

HR leaders are pushing for earlier engagement, but will businesses listen? As companies navigate an evolving talent era, one thing is clear- HR isn’t just about hiring anymore. It’s about shaping the future of work. 

Let us know your thoughts, should HR be involved in strategy discussions sooner?
