Proactive Leadership
A Contribution to Growth and Profitability
Over time, we will see HR step up and acquire the skills to operate as a
line contributor, or companies will build separate talent acquisition
and management organizations. Either way, traditional HR practitioners
are at risk unless they are able to acquire strategic business skills.
These include cutting-edge workforce planning and analytics, proactive
recruitment of passive candidates who are working for your competitors
today, more effective selection and hiring, continual assessment,
mentorship and performance measurement. Successful execution of these
strategic initiatives will help your company create new solutions, open
new markets, grow faster and more profitably.
New Knowledge for a New Economy
HCI offers cutting-edge research and education tuned to helping human
resources professionals make the leap from administrative to strategic
contributors. Our learning tracks provide new information across the
entire talent continuum, from workforce planning to strategic sourcing,
to mentorship, to building life-long career relationships with workers
you may have to temporarily displace. We bring new ideas, creative new
strategies and proven business disciplines to practitioners who see the
opportunity to earn a seat at their organization's executive table. CEOs
need help, and today's HR profesionals have never been beter positioned
to step up. But to successfully take that step, you need to understand
business from then line officer's point of view, and have the business
knowledge, judgement and skills to contribute new and creative
strategies.
Your Career Path
HR is fragmenting into strategic and administrative spheres. Strategic
HR must be able to bring in top producers, measure their contribution,
tie the data back and continually improve the process. They must be, by
definition, curious, creative, confident, entrepreneurial and decisive
leaders. These are the attributes necessary to produce new ideas, take
risks and achieve break-away success. Administrative HR will remain an
important function that keeps commodity staffing within budget, develops
policies and procedures, minimizes risk of lawsuit, counsels
underperformers, and handles the myriad of administrative and clerical
duties around payroll, benefits and pension planning. The Human Capital
Institute welcomes HR professionals who are drawn to the strategic path.
Our research, education, thought leadership and other programs are aimed
solidly at transforming human resources practitioners with the
appropriate aptitudes and desire, into strategic contributors,
positioned for leadership roles in the new talent-driven organization.
