"HR Earning A Seat At The Leadership Table”

Many HR Leaders of small to mid-sized companies (defined as 50 to 5,000 EE’s) just assume that HR can never get out of the tactical day to day administrative duties and become a strategic partner in the business. Streamlining efficiencies (one of the essential keys to getting in front of the business) is often discussed but rarely implemented. Too often these same leaders and companies assume that only larger corporations can afford solutions, and dedicate the time to do so. HR is the only department that sees, touches, and permeates all parts of the organization regardless of organization size. As HR Leaders you can’t afford not to be at the Leadership Table!

Interactive discussion on how HR Leaders and Administrators can improve their ability to get out if front of the business, become a strategic partner in the business and earn and maintain a seat at the Leadership Table.

Learning Objectives:

1. Assess HR’s position within the company.
2. Identify barriers/obstacles preventing HR Leadership from becoming a strategic partner.
3. Discuss solutions to get out of the tactical day today.
4. Become a pro-active leader rather than a re-active doer.
