This session describes practical, and sometimes emphatic, approaches to being a strategic leader and successfully getting bottom-line, measurable results.
Measuring and improving HR performance and strategic contribution continues to be a challenge. The reality is most HR departments do not have the evidence needed to provide a major strategic impact. This session challenges you to see a fresh approach, and reviews how top performing organizations “do strategic HR”, including eight essential elements of a strategic HR department and specific day-to-day actions to make an impact on the business. We will discuss how to shift your mindset from tactical to strategic and create a meaningful HR strategy and plan aligned and integrated with business initiatives. Learn the common reasons why HR departments can become disconnected and ways to increase capabilities, improve service delivery, and increase the value of HR deliverables and services.
