Chief Human Resource Officer

The chief human resources officer (CHRO) is a top-level management executive in charge of an organization’s employees. The CHRO is responsible for running an organization’s human capital management and other HR technology systems.

Increased competition for employee talent has elevated the importance of the HR function in companies, nonprofits and government agencies. The rapid development and adoption of HR software and increased government compliance requirements have also contributed to HR’s growing importance.
