Digital HR Leaders with David Green21 Mai 2025

How HR Can Shape Business Strategy and Prove Its Impact (an Interview with Dave Ulrich)

Is HR leading the business, or just keeping up with it?

As complexity increases and resources tighten, the role of HR is under more pressure than ever. But within this challenge lies a powerful opportunity - for HR to become a driving force in delivering value to all stakeholders: employees, customers and investors.

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined once again by Dave Ulrich, Co-Founder of The RBL Group and widely recognised as the father of modern HR. Building on the success of his earlier episode with Stacia Garr, Dave returns for a reflective and practical conversation on how HR can step up to shape business strategy and deliver stakeholder value.

Join them as they dive deep into:

Why the HR role is becoming more complex

What stops HR from taking the lead, and how to overcome those barriers

What strategic HR looks like when it’s aligned to stakeholder value

The outcome-focused metrics that matter most to the business

How AI can support - or distract from - HR’s true purpose

The critical skills and mindsets HR leaders need for the future

Where work and employee experience might be headed next

If you're an HR leader looking to have more influence and impact, this episode, sponsored by HiBob, is definitely a conversation you’ll want to revisit and take notes on.

HiBob is a fast-growing new leader in the HCM market. In fact, according to HR tech guru Josh Bersin, HiBob is one of the few SaaS companies that have successfully cracked the code on user experience.

Josh Bersin says that Bob is not only feature-rich but genuinely enjoyable to use.
