C-suite is increasing focus on human capital
HR is being challenged to answer more complex questions such as …
How do we compare with the competition and the ‘best’?
Is our business sustainable - are we future-proof?
Are we attracting and developing talent?
What is the impact of our talent strategy?
Do we have good leaders … are our people with us?
Is our HR function and HR shared services effective?
How do our HR policies impact business performance?
"We need to improve our analysis to help the business drive the top-line.”
“The key improvement that is needed is faster information, with more depth of analysis comparing us to the outside world.”
“Regular management reports are often late. There is a great deal of unnecessary detail, and even I can frequently find errors.”
“There is very little insight provided, and little value-add. If I ask for comment or pose questions, they are answered reactively, but pro-active commentary is lacking.”
… but they question HR’s ability to respond
