EMBEDDING UPSKILLING INTO THE FLOW OF WORK IS VITAL: KOFAX'S SVP, HR

Lynne Scheid is Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Kofax. Before joining the company in 1989, she worked in Human Resources for Century Data Systems, a Xerox company, and Charleston Associates. Today, she is responsible for all human resources functions at Kofax.

Lynne studied Business Administration at California State University, Fullerton, and holds a certificate in Human Resources Management from University of California, Irvine.

As companies strive to recover from the pandemic and take up the challenges of a digital-first environment, Lynne uncovers the kind of investments that talent leaders are making in a bid to modernise learning & development.

How do you see the larger picture of the world of work today as an experienced talent leader?

After the pandemic erupted last year, HR leaders faced uncertainty in their function and had to prioritise initiatives that strengthened their organisation’s ability to drive change in leadership, culture, and employee experience.

In response to the pandemic, organisations shifted gears to virtual workplace models and remote working practices to enable business continuity. Offices of all sizes and administrative workspaces from hospitals, courts, and factories had to prepare for this change and adapt to the ‘new’ world of work.
