Gartner for Human Resources Leaders is hiring for a growth focused Account Executive to join their high-performing team! Chief HR officers (CHROs) must understand how the trends impacting the workforce and broader organization will shape their priorities in 2024 and beyond. In this climate, it is critical CHROs take action to increase the positive impact that they — and their teams — have on the organization. Looking ahead to 2024, CHROs are prioritizing three HR areas: leader and manager development, change management, and organizational culture. 

Gartner predicts that in 2024 key trends for HR will include an “unsettled” employee-employer relationship, persistent skills shortages, transformative technology innovations and pressure for operational efficiency.
