From Hiring to Strategy: How the Role of HR Is Transforming

The labor market in Uzbekistan is changing: companies are reconsidering their approaches to hiring, motivating, and retaining employees, while HR is increasingly becoming part of business strategy. In the new episode of the EY and Kursiv Uzbekistan special project, we discuss how HR Consulting works and why companies need to analyze the employee journey, corporate culture, organizational structures, and reward systems. We also explore how the labor market is transforming in the age of AI, how the role of HR professionals is changing, and why businesses are increasingly interested in salary analytics and EY’s solutions in this area. Anna Borovkova, Senior Manager in the People Consulting Group at EY, explains how the expectations of companies and employees are changing and why labor market data is becoming increasingly important for making informed management decisions.
