This. “HR must be considered a business partner — not the ‘heart’ of the organization, not the pizza planners, not the police, and not the therapists,” says [Daniel] Space. “With good HR practices, we help organizations help themselves.” For the last 8 years, I've had the privilege of serving CHROs as a health benefit partner, most recently Employer Direct Healthcare. Having a front-row seat to the ever-increasing expectations of how they attract and engage talent, provide health care benefits - the second largest line item on the budget - and thoughtfully advocate for the HR role to be a strategic catalyst for the business, not simply an administrative function has been eye opening and increased my desire to be a value-added partner to support their vision.

“HR must be considered a business partner — not the ‘heart’ of the organization, not the pizza planners, not the police, and not the therapists. With good HR practices, we help organizations help themselves.” According to data from Aon, the failure to attract and retain top talent comes in as the fourth largest risk to organizations today, a huge jump compared to previous years when it didn’t even rank in the top 10. Today’s CHROs are tasked with much more than improving employee engagement and retention, they are shaping the future of work and contributing to organizational performance across the entire organization. #humanresource #chiefpeopleofficer #futureofwork #leadership #HR #talentmanagement #DEI #CHRO #businessstrategy

Since the onset of the pandemic, the role of the CHRO has become increasingly complex, as HR leaders have tackled everything from creating new work environments to assisting employees with rapidly rising mental health issues and financial wellness concerns. Now, CEOs are pushing for a return to the office while employees' resist. These responsibilities, coupled with the growing expectations from the C-suite and board of directors of having a strategic CHRO on board, have made the role of a CHRO more demanding. In such a challenging environment, informal advisors like other CHROs, CEOs, or high-ranking executives in other departments can be valuable resources, says Bill Conaty, president of Conaty Consulting and former senior vice president of human resources for General Electric. #hr #hrexecutives #chro #informaladvisors #hrcomplexity #hrleaders

🌀Once upon a time in the bustling headquarters of a thriving tech company named Innovatech, Sarah, the diligent HR Manager, found herself facing numerous challenges that were beginning to test her patience. The executive team at Innovatech often made crucial decisions without consulting Sarah or involving HR in the planning process. This lack of involvement frustrated her, making her feel undervalued. Additionally, her contributions to the company were rarely acknowledged. The perception of HR as a mere administrative role prevailed within the organization, leading to a disregard for the expertise Sarah brought to the table. Moreover, adequate resources were not allocated to HR, hindering their ability to streamline processes and provide the best support to employees. Micromanagement was a common issue, with Sarah feeling a lack of trust in her capabilities. HR policies and procedures were regularly ignored, and employee feedback was not given the attention it deserved. To top it all off, favoritism was becoming an increasingly evident problem. However, things took a turn for the better when the CEO, Mr. Anderson, noticed the growing frustration within the HR department. He scheduled a meeting with Sarah and her team to openly discuss their concerns. During the meeting, Sarah candidly shared the challenges she was facing, emphasizing the need for HR to be involved in strategic decision-making and to have resources that matched their responsibilities. Mr. Anderson listened attentively and acknowledged the vital role HR played in the company's success. Following this conversation, the company implemented changes to address the HR department's grievances. HR was included in crucial decision-making processes, and their contributions were recognized in company-wide meetings. Adequate resources were allocated, empowering HR to enhance their processes and policies. Micromanagement decreased, trust was rebuilt, and HR policies and procedures were reinforced. Employee feedback was actively sought and utilized to make informed decisions, and the practice of playing favorites was addressed through transparent evaluation processes. Innovatech transformed into a company where HR felt valued and empowered, fostering a more cohesive work environment where everyone's contributions were appreciated. Sarah, once frustrated, now felt motivated and appreciated, working hand in hand with the leadership to ensure a flourishing workplace for all.🦸
