    Strategic HR at It’s Best

    Over the past several years, HR has played a critical role in guiding organizations through change and uncertainty, prioritizing HR activities that will add the most value and contribute to the organization’s strategy. While many HR functions are already operating as a strategic partner, many remain reactive and struggle to prove their strategic value. During this session, attendees will:

    • Understand the drivers that influence HR, and build a robust affirmation for the importance of HR.
    • Prioritize HR activities that will add the most value and determine what skills are required to deliver on those activities.
    • Recognize the need for designing a customized HR structure and operating model to deliver value to the organization.

    Take your role to the next level and join us as we discuss how to be more strategic in your HR efforts.
