Accelerating Change: HR's Strategic Role in Navigating Permanent Transformation

In a world where change accelerates at an unprecedented pace and crises intensified, organizations are engaged in regular structural projects like mergers, spin-offs, and reorganizations. This dynamic environment demands a shift from sporadic adjustments to a state of permanent transformation where HR have a critical role, at the forefront of this journey:

How can a state of “permanent transformation” be established and what is the role of HR in this journey?
How can these major transformations be carried out without losing teams?

Through the lens of Solvay/Syensqo's experience, this session will explore practical solutions, lessons learned, and pivotal questions, showcasing how the HR function is now central to our strategies and now judged on its value creation. This is not a one-size-fits-all recipe for success, but rather an insightful view into our approach, experiments, and results, particularly highlighted by our recent spin-off.
