Global CHRO Council

The Global CHRO Council brings together selected Global HR Leaders from world’s leading companies across the globe, with multibillion revenue and presence in at least two continents. The Council is self-governed and provides a confidential and vendor-free environment where members are exposed to best practices beyond their sectors, draw on the group’s collective knowledge and collaboratively explore solutions with the aim to improve their own as well as their organisation’s performance. Members meet in person twice per year in different continents, and stay connected in-between meetings via virtual sessions.

The Global business environment has always been complex from a geo-political, social and financial perspective. The current shift towards digitisation, automation and AI brings demand for new ways of working, leadership development and building skills for the future. It has created expectations and put pressure on Global HR Leaders who have to deal with the complexity and strategic requirements for business success.

It is imperative for Global HR leaders to exchange and learn from each other while getting exposure to other industries, organisations and a peer group that they wouldn't ordinarily come across in their every day work.

What our members say

From my point of view, the peer conversations- sharing my experiences and those of my colleagues and comparing notes- is hugely valuable. I can also use this network in daily life, outside of meetings, to call a colleague who may have mentioned a project I need input on. This trust comes partly from the very open climate in the meetings. On one hand it is open, but on the other it is confidential, which allows that openness. It gives us the ability to present a very realistic picture about what is going on in our own company. This is not glossed over by marketing, but rather a very grounded and honest picture.

Michael Brecht, Vice President HR, EMEA, Avery Dennison

I would say the top benefit for joining a council is the intensive and valuable exchange on Human Capital Analytics with peers from other companies. In contrast to ‘normal conferences’, at council meetings we have honest discussions based on trust that was built over time. People are really open to share, no one is trying to market or sell you something.

Dr. Ruth Kuchem, VP HR Analytics & Reporting, Deutsche Post
