Evidence-based HR: Focusing on What Matters

Description

What business wants from HR is not what HR is prepared to deliver. Historically, the HR function focused on providing pay, benefits, and training. With increasing economic uncertainty, the people needs of businesses have changed. Many HR functions are attempting to evolve with the times. The bottom line is that all their investments are doing little to move the needle on what matters to the business and to employees. It is time to rethink HR. The speaker will present a new operating model, powered by evidence-based methods, that positions HR in the critical path to achieving business success. Learn how a leading pharmaceutical firm reignited a failing collaboration and a mid-sized fast growing firm closed a revenue gap using this new HR model. Leave with actionable insights and a roadmap to drive measureable change in your HR organization.
