Summary
According to Cornerstone's study “The Board's New Mandate to CIOs and CHROs”, conducted with Vanson Bourne among 300 respondents in French companies with at least 1,000 employees, only 17% of employees consider themselves fully prepared for changes to their jobs over the next 12 to 24 months, while 66% see a transformation already well under way in their company. The study points to fragmented HR data: 85% of companies use at least three methods of accessing workforce data, but only 35% have a unified dashboard, which leads to skills gaps and recruitment delays. Close collaboration between CHROs and CIOs markedly improves decision-making speed and employees' readiness for change.
