A major turnover in HR leadership is looming, with 57% of Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) and 75% of people leaders considering leaving their roles within the next 8-12 months, according to recent research by Blu Ivy Group published on HRDive.com.
Burnout is a key driver, worsened by inadequate support from the C-suite. The constant need for crisis management leaves little room for long-term strategic planning, threatening organizational growth. Additionally, nearly half of HR professionals are new to their roles, underscoring the need for better support and development. This potential exodus could disrupt daily operations, stifle innovation, and weaken companies’ competitiveness.
To avert this crisis, companies must prioritize supporting HR leaders and staff by fostering strategic partnerships, investing in employee feedback, and promoting work-life balance. Without proactive measures, the departure of HR employees could severely impact a company’s ability to navigate future challenges.
