Reinventing HR
One would think the HR department would be a key player in most organizations: gathering and disseminating information about talent, helping to develop and implement strategy and developing practices and systems that motivate individual employees to ever-higher levels of performance. This is not the case.
Too often, the HR department essentially is an administrative function, handling payroll, benefits processing and formal training programs. Even HR departments that conduct regular employee attitude surveys and do talent assessments frequently have limited connections to the development and implementation of their organizations' business strategies.
As a result, an enormous opportunity exists for the leaders of HR functions to enhance their departments' roles. This is especially true in human capital (HC)-centric organizations whose strategies require that talent provides a competitive advantage. In these organizations, the need exists for a function that makes it a priority to develop and integrate all the elements of organizing and managing talent into a coordinated approach that fits the business strategy.
What is needed is an HR function that combines administration with expertise in human capital management and organizational effectiveness.
