In this episode of the HR Leaders podcast I'm joined by Christian Schmeichel, SVP & Chief Future of Work Officer at SAP.

Learn how SAP is reimagining work across three key dimensions - future workforce, future people practices, and the future of HR.

Christian discusses planning for an evolving workforce composition, SAP's empowering flexwork policy, and the emphasis on mental health and mindfulness. He also provides perspective on HR trends like leveraging AI and chatbots while retaining the human touch. Christian believes this is a once in a generation opportunity to shape the future of work and live in new ways.

This is a can't-miss episode for all leaders preparing their organizations for what's ahead.
