Discover what it takes to earn even higher levels of trust and respect of your business peers and colleagues – or perhaps, why you are not yet at the levels you desire in these relationships and begin to chart a road map to get there.
Prepared, researched and presented from the CEO’s perspective, this session will show you what’s preventing your HR department from being seen as the strategic asset it deserves to be. You will be empowered to move up from “mere” compliance and record-keeping, to synchronize your departmental plan with the firm’s strategic plan, and ultimately to help shape your organization’s direction and future.
Tom Cox will show how CEOs and other C-Level Executives come to trust their HR leaders, and what an HR leader can do to create, enhance, defend and preserve that trust, thus securing a permanent seat at the strategy and executive bargaining table. Trust is also a key element for HR in leading innovation, and Tom will explore how to create an even more innovative HR presence and deliver greater business value for, as well as, to the enterprise.
You will leave knowing (1) how to assess your current status, (2) how to map the path toward becoming strategic, and (3) what your immediate next steps are to that end.
