The successful human resources leader of today needs to go beyond implementation to play a role in creating the strategies that lead to their organization’s success.
In the past, human resources roles were often catch-alls for employee relations issues and programs left unadopted by any other executive. Human resources professionals were viewed as task implementers rather than sources of strategic thinking.
Today, however, the best human resources leaders are guiding their organizations through the process of addressing major workforce issues head-on. This includes delivering solutions for diversity hiring, employee benefits, and creative internships that feed a pipeline of new recruits into the company. These human resources leaders are also selecting and implementing best-in-breed systems and cloud-based solutions for performance management, training, payroll, benefits administration, and recruiting and talent management.
Great human resources leaders have empathy but are mission-focused on the organization’s overall success. They are proactive and visible in operational meetings, have a seat at the table as a thought leader on the senior leadership team, and also walk the walk alongside every team, department, and individual employee. While they embrace and leverage technology, it is the human touch and an understanding of the workforce of today and tomorrow that get them to GameChanger status.
