520 |a The HR (human resource) profession's future is potentially bright, but HR may not be preparing fast enough to exploit it.

As estimable as HR's past achievements are, they have lulled leaders to accept slow progress. The organizational and social challenges that require HR's contribution are similar to global hunger or climate change - easily dismissed until it is too late.

HR's future can be sustainable, boundary-less, evidence-based, retooled and soulful. This article describes elements of the step-change for achieving that future.
