The 9-month programme empowers HR professionals to navigate disruption, inspire high-performing teams, and drive corporate sustainability with a focus on redesigning organisational structures
Mumbai, January 16, 2025: As the HR landscape undergoes a transformative shift, driven by rapid digitalisation and evolving workforce expectations, the role of HR leaders has expanded far beyond traditional boundaries. Today’s Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) are not just custodians of talent but pivotal architects of organisational strategy and growth. In response to evolving demands of the workforce, the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIM Lucknow), a leading business school which is ranked 4th amongst all B-schools in India (ranked by FT-100), in collaboration with Emeritus, has announced the launch of its Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Programme.
With a unique focus on agility, digitalisation, and people-centric leadership, this programme equips HR leaders with the strategic tools to drive transformation. According to the, Top 5 Priorities for HR Leaders in 2025 report by Gartner, 87% of HR leaders agree that evolving business demands require continuous HR transformation. However, only 36% believe their organisation’s current leadership development programs effectively prepare leaders for future challenges. This disparity highlights the urgent need for programmes that bridges this gap, equipping HR professionals with the strategic tools to lead change, align HR with business goals, and foster a resilient, future-ready workforce.
Designed to empower HR leaders for the future of work, this 9-month high-impact programme is specifically designed to empower HR leaders and senior executives to navigate the complexities of the HR function, advance strategic thinking, and enhance problem-solving. Tailored for current and aspiring CHROs, CPOs, and business leaders, it prepares them to lead business transformation, elevate employee experience, and drive a people-first workforce strategy.
Speaking on the programme, Mr. Avnish Singhal, Executive Vice President, India and APAC, Emeritus, said, “We are thrilled to partner with esteemed institutions like IIM Lucknow to launch this high-impact programme that equips HR leaders with the strategic skills needed to thrive in today’s evolving business environment. Focusing on agility, digitalisation, and people-first leadership, it prepares participants to align HR with business strategy, enhance employee experience, and lead organisational growth in an ever-evolving landscape.”
