HR You Ready? A value-added approach

September 17, 2019

10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

HR has historically focused almost exclusively on administrative and risk mitigation activities. However, over time we were tasked with becoming strategic business partners and we started to focus on training, performance management, compensation planning and other operational strategies.

However, many of us fail to ask ourselves about the value we are adding to the bottom line. If we want to truly move the dial, we need to concentrate our time and energy on strategies that are proven to drive real business results.

When company leaders are considering large capital purchases - like a new enterprise system, or upgraded equipment, or a facility expansion, or research and development of a new product line, or mergers and acquisitions - they are wise to spend a considerable amount of time and effort determining the financial return on this investment. This method is commonly referred to as calculating the ROI.

So what is the ROI on your organization’s human capital? If you do not know, you are not alone.

This session will inspire you to think about the impact of your efforts and implement an HR strategy that will solidify your credibility as a true strategic partner in your organization.
