Question themes

Part 1 Question clusters and single questions
The questions that we asked were divided into 3 different question clusters:
- Our first cluster discerns the strategic role of HR - here we sought to understand how both HR and senior managers viewed the contribution of HR to business strategy
- The second question cluster looked at the level of satisfaction with the strategic data provided by HR
- This final cluster seeks to understand if within the HR function, there is a consideration of how the external talent and related market might influence HR and business decisions 

Part 2 Most needed skills
- Here we have identified the most needed for skills for HR in the future.

Part 3 The perceived gap between HR now and HR in the future
