While Deloitte has never had a Chief Human Resources Officer by that name, the Talent Officer title reflects how their employees are viewed. The people who work for their company, the talent, are the most important component. While this title may have always been the standard at Deloitte, this just shows how they are ahead of the curve in regards to the future of work. Many other organizations are changing the title of their Human Resources departments to reflect the focus on employees themselves. […]

These networks assist in building a stronger, more profitable platform company.[…]
