In an exclusive interview with People Matters, Michael Burke, CEO – Talent, Rewards and Performance, Aon Hewitt, talks about how digital is disrupting HR, leadership imperatives, and key labor trends in the global business landscape
Michael Burke is the CEO – Talent, Rewards and Performance, Aon Hewitt. Prior to this role, Michael was the CEO of McLagan, an Aon Hewitt company that consults with financial services organizations to improve results, release value and better align compensation to performance. Michael also co-founded MIB Partners, which provided financial bench marking to the bulge bracket global investment banks and was acquired by McLagan in 2004. He has also held roles at UBS and BZW within their Banking and Capital Markets Divisions including Fixed Income and Infrastructure areas, Elf Oil UK Ltd, and BP Oil.
With the sale of Aon’s benefits administration and HR BPO platform to Blackstone and the acquisition of assessments with cut-e (in Germany) and CoCubes (in India) last year, Aon has made some significant moves. What is the future-focus for Aon now?
This is an exciting time for Aon and its consulting business. The company is at the cusp of significant transformation. The sale of the benefits administration and HR BPO platform to private equity firms affiliated with Blackstone is an extension of a strategy that sharpens the focus of the business that is about delivering advice and solutions, accelerating innovation on behalf of clients, and improving return on invested capital.
