As part of the Agile20Reflect festival, The Future of Work Scotland team are delighted to be bringing you this fascinating session with Agile HR pioneer and author Natal Dank.

It’s time for HR to become a strategic partner in guiding organisational wide Agile transformation and building human-centric workplaces. People sit at the heart of Agile, and the HR domains of culture, talent development and organisational design are crucial components of any business transformation. Indeed, a HR team equipped with the right skills and knowledge can help accelerate the mindset change. However, the opposite is also true and when HR fail to embrace Agile and appreciate the negative impact traditional HR processes and systems have on the success of Agile practices, HR itself can quickly become a blocker.

In this session we’ll explore the growing Agile HR movement and how the approach is beginning to co-create an enriched employee experience and help craft the future of work. We’ll also look at how roles such as HR Business Partner and Agile Coach can begin to collaborate and learn from each other.

Learning Objectives:

Here's some background on our amazing guest speaker for this session:

Natal heads up learning, coaching, and community at PXO Culture and is seen as a pioneer in the Agile HR movement. In 2016 Natal hosted the first Agile HR Meetup in London with the aim of building a community of like-minded disrupters, which has since grown into a regular event held across the world from Sydney to Paris and online. A year later she co-founded the Agile HR Community and has recently published the book, Agile HR.

Now, through PXO Culture, Natal is focused on defining modern HR for the 21st Century and helping organisations build great People Experience and Operations.
