Having the right resources in market at the right time is critical. The needs change as you seek to grow … yet at the same time your core business can’t be stripped of resources either. Managing the the different phases of transition is critical to achieving success without wasting your hard earned cash, and protecting the culture that you have established.

Sometimes we try to do too much at once in HR and overwhelm our executives (and others). When it comes to HR, your CEO just wants to know the answer to these three questions. Can you answer them? https://lnkd.in/g7t-zcgh #HR #CHRO #CEO

Unprecedented speed and uncertainty means the old adage that past practices guide the future no longer applies.... Corporations face a recalibration of governance strategies by boards: research reveals significant hurdles in long-term strategic planning, with many directors underestimating the impact of external trends such as sustainability, GenAI, trade dynamics, and geopolitical disruptions on organizational futures. To stay ahead in these disruptive times, boards must adapt to a forward-looking mindset, weave global trends into decision-making processes, and revamp governance structures for agility and resilience. This article explores this and some key recommendations ahead for board members and governance...

😯 71% of US CEOs say they feel like imposters 🤔 I know I was surprised to see that stat #KornFerry shares from a recent survey! And, the higher up the org chart someone ascends, the more acutely they feel imposter syndrome. What is behind this? It's not a lack of confidence or experience. Rather it's the massive number of significant challenges simultaneously: 🤺 transform their organizations 🤺 be the culture carriers 🤺 figure out the role of #AI in their business 🤺 navigate geopolitical challenges 🤺 satisfy investors 🤺 speak to social issues So the combo of being confident AND humble is effective. This opens up the path to know you don't have all the answers and you don't need to pretend. A few suggestions to up your odds of success: 👉 hire direct reports that push you up vs you pulling them up 👉 have an "advisor" or #peeradvisory trusted group where you can share your challenges and gain perspectives and d options 👉 learn how to tap into your creative side 👉 be intentional about staying healthy (sleep, diet, exercise, meditation) How else might you do to manage your imposter syndrome? Thanks to Korn Ferry for the survey and the tips! Article link in comment section! #CEOs #BUSINESSOWNERS #EXECTUIVE #IMPOSTERSYNDROME

In 2023, global employee engagement stagnated at 23%. In Gallup's 2024 meta-analysis, we found that highly engaged teams are likely to see significantly higher employee wellbeing, productivity, profitability and sales than low-engagement teams.     Becoming a highly engaged organization requires the intentional effort of leadership over several years. Leaders who build strong and resilient cultures focus on a few things that set them apart from other organizations:  They put a high priority on manager hiring and development.  They integrate engagement into every stage of their employee and manager life cycle. They emphasize wellbeing at work and in life.    When organizations do these things, they simultaneously improve employees’ lives and organizational performance. Learn more about the current state of employee engagement and the actions leaders can take in our new State of the Global Workplace report. https://lnkd.in/eSihz8Ff

I have always been a strong promoter of a Chief Transformation Officer role, and a recent study confirms its positive impact on company performance. I wonder though how much bigger the impact could be if there was an even stronger focus on the human side of transformations and if the underlying "costs" of those programs would not go down significantly #Transformation #BusinessPerformance

Training and developing a workforce doesn't just benefit employees — it helps organizations become transformation-ready. In a recent MIT Sloan Executive Education webinar, George Westerman shared findings from a recent survey he co-led that included interviews with leaders from 25 companies. He outlined three elements to developing and improving a skilled workforce. Which could you see a benefit from implementing?

The Human Capital function is undergoing an incredible transformation. We are consistently seeing (and calling out) trends as they pertain to the role of the CHRO. In fact, our end-of-year blog post focused solely on the trends expected for 2024. Now that we're halfway through the year, we are seeing these trends spotlighted by many HR resources and I'm personally thrilled to see a huge focus being placed on data-driven decision-making, AKA #HumanCapitalAnalytics. We're in the age of big data and it's imperative for HC to leverage analytics to make strategic decisions. From predicting employee turnover to identifying skill gaps, data-driven insights are empowering HR professionals to optimize workforce planning and drive organizational success. Our book, #HumanizingHumanCapital, outlines 20 different ways that HC Analytics can be measured and then used to gauge the enterprise-level impact. In other words: What impact does this have on the business? What metrics indicate success? What is the ROI of selected HR initiatives? We can help you design effective approaches to rigorously measure the human capital, financial and enterprise impact and give you insights to amplify your effectiveness as we round out the last half of 2024!

This feels like a pretty great way to celebrate 20 (!) years at CEB/Gartner. In this article, we explore the three reasons why companies *aren't* pursuing four-day work weeks (naturally, "we're too busy" was #1) and how early adopters overcame those same objections. #gartnerhr https://lnkd.in/eZeenc4X

I agree that organizations and boardrooms need the leadership and guidance of professionals that can unlock the potential of people in efforts to create value. But, having a CHRO on the board isn't enough. A fresh look at talent strategy is desperately needed. Work and job redesign, upskilling, AI adoption, new workforce expectations and more hostile operating environments all mandate change. Replicating past practices won't be enough. Is your leadership team and boardroom ready? What is your learning journey?
