Full Seminar Description
In this program, participants will examine case studies on how HR departments have transformed and redesigned their resources by employing business and OD skills to become a true business partner. The correct redesign can move HR from the end of the business process chain to its rightful position as a strategic leader. Keywords: high performance, configuring HR, business goals, HR organization design, HR function, HR transformation, workforce. Fee per person: $1595Offered in exclusive partnership with William Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR
CEOs want a proactive HR department that operates at the strategic rather than tactical level. As businesses become more complex and leaders are forced to rise to the occasion during times of uncertainty and change, it is vital that HR does the same. Some HR organizations have gone through the process of fundamentally re-purposing what they do and why they exist, but little has been shared on which design option will most effectively achieve strategic goals.
This program will be facilitated by select Linkage faculty.
