• Align HR roles and processes across business units and operational functions to drive efficiency and impact
• Balance standardization with local flexibility while anticipating regulatory, workforce, and geopolitical risks
Reward systems influence culture, retention, and strategic differentiation. CHROs must deploy total rewards to shape behaviors, drive innovation, and accelerate transformation.
