CHROs have the ‘second-hardest job in the C-suite’ and a higher turnover rate than any other executive-level position, expert says

Quick Summary:

A Spencer Stuart analysis suggests the CHRO role is getting harder, with HR leaders staying in their jobs for a shorter period of time compared to five years ago.

Incoming CEOs might want to bring some of their trusted advisors to the company, as well, resulting in new appointments to the C-suite, including the CHRO.

There’s been a fair amount of CEO turnover this year, with departures reaching 222 in January, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the highest level for the month since the firm started tracking in 2002.
