One of the most important relationships a HR leader has is with the finance team’s boss: the CFO. So how can HR get the best out of this partnership, to benefit both employees, and the bottom line?

Our next HR magazine webinar – brought to you in partnership with the spend management platform, Pleo – aims to offer practical solutions.

It’s especially important to get this vital bond right in today’s volatile economic climate, where both finance and HR leaders’ workloads are laden with the strain of being asked to more with less: 68% of European finance professionals report that there is more pressure on financial decision makers than ever before (Pleo, March 2025) and 50% of HR professionals reported excessive workload as a major stress at work, in a HR Mental Wellbeing Report published on 9 June 2025.

Employees are feeling the strain too, amid an ongoing cost of living crisis: 92% are covering business expenses with personal money, Pleo’s research indicates.

For everyone’s benefit, it’s time to set both CHROs and CFOs up for success. So join our next HR Lunchtime debate, where our panel will address:
• What an effective HR and CFO partnership looks like: for example how both can build financial education and wellbeing;
• How technology, and the right data, can enhance HR’s relationship with finance teams;
• HR’s influence on expense management; and more.
