KPMG Future of HR research1 found a group of HR organizations who are considered value drivers within their enterprises. This group, we call Pathfinders, tends to be more positive about the future and more likely to adopt leading technologies than their peers. They also responded more quickly to the pandemic than non-Pathfinding organizations.
To showcase characteristics of Pathfinders, this year we conducted in-depth interviews with 18 HR leaders from across the globe. We have sought to understand how these organizations are navigating disruption and shaping the workforce for the future.
