May 20, is the International Human Resources Day and the theme for 2023 is "HR Shaping the New Future" which focuses on the role of HR as a profession in leading change to improve working lives. The HR practice has evolved from an administrative function to management and ushering in a new era of employee-centric work culture. Therefore, it is not about slipping back into traditional ways of thinking and working. It implies HR as leading a future that will be more inclusive, flexible, and participative so that workers, organizations, and society as a whole will benefit.
