Sessions

HR is a critical function in organizations and is a fantastic profession !! Too often we sell ourselves short versus leveraging the value and strength we bring each day. This session shows practitioners tangible ways to own their role in their company, effective ways to integrate across departments, and how to build and sustain the human factor in the workplace.

Learning Objectives:

• Owning HR—HR is at a crossroads where we need to own who we are and what we bring to organizations. We are not a support function. We are a leadership/development arm of the company.
• The Human Factor—HR has the ability to personalize and practice HR at the individual level. Done well this leads to building an organization filled with people who truly perform in their roles. This is much more than putting the "H" in HR. It's allowing people to bring their best to their role every day.
• The Power of Context—Giving employees context around why we have parameters and processes is a shift from the traditional organization. HR can affect the company from a behavioral perspective, which is sustainable on a long-term basis.
• Development Not Measurement—HR must develop employees from the C-suite to management to front-line supervision. This takes a complete break from how companies currently approach employees. There is an intentional method that breaks through and leverages the strengths of our people.
• Approach Is Key—HR has the responsibility to model the behavior it wants to see in others. It's not good enough to design programs; performance must be visible and consistent. HR sets the standard and direction of culture strategically across the organization.
