A relative newcomer among other C-level roles, at last there’s a seat within the C-suite for human resources and employee experience leaders. Depending on the organization, this role may be called the chief human resources officer (CHRO), chief people officer (CPO), or chief employee experience officer (CEEO). This C-level role usually oversees key functions, such as employee benefits, reviews, conflicts (and mediation), retention, and, ultimately, the overall company culture and employee experience.
