Transforming India’s CHRO to Chief Learning Officer

The human resources profession in India needs to evolve into one that places a greater emphasis on learning. So reports Qrius.

This may entail chief human resource officers being called chief learning officers to signify the shift, writes Shyaam Subramanian, who heads up program design, research, strategy and learning at Teach For India.

The title of chief learning officer better embodies HR's mission as one that no longer just solely focuses on developing employees' technical and functional skills.

"The reason this shift will be the hardest for HR is because this way of working will push executives and business heads to sacrifice short-term outcomes for long-term sustainability, loosen control over resources and people (even though they will gain more control over outcomes), and could even slow down progress in the short-term," Subramanian notes.
