PowerPoints/Handouts Available

A business leader's strategic importance is never measured by their position on the organization chart. It's measured by results. But unfortunately, many HR Leaders struggle to articulate how they contribute to the success of strategic initiatives. So how can we fix this, and get the C-suite's attention? By translating critical HR responsibilities to the bottom-line and quantifying our results. This session will show you how to:

Take a long-term, “big picture” approach to HR by developing and aligning your strategic plan with your organization's strategic plan.
Solve business problems through the effective use of people strategies and develop and utilize business metrics to measure the achievement of the organization's strategic goals and objectives.
Become an active and effective business leader who can directly impact major business initiatives by establishing strategic relationships with key individuals in the organization to influence organizational decision-making.
