MEGA SESSION Optimizing HR Strategy for Organizational Effectiveness
In most organizations today, optimizing the selection, deployment and retention of human capital is the paramount differentiator of organizational success or failure. This fast-paced session outlines what it takes to uncover your organization’s human capital needs, develop proven and leading-edge strategies to optimize workforce contributions, and the appropriate metrics to determine the effectiveness of your chosen approaches. HR leaders learn specific steps for how to be (and remain being) seen as a business leader; non-HR organizational leaders learn next steps for determining if the organization’s HR group is functioning at its peak strategic level.
Learning Objectives:
- How to link HR strategy to overall organizational strategy
- How to lead your organization's human capital strategies.
- How HR metrics should and should not be used.
