SMART STAGE Elev8: A Strategic Model for HR Effectiveness
HR professionals need to reevaluate the way that they work and connect with their organizations to produce value. As businesses adapt and organizational strategies evolve, the same evolutionary process needs to be considered for the HR department, in order to remain effective and delivering on key business outcomes. This presentation will outline a strategic model which allows HR practitioners to build their engagement, deepen their partnership with business leaders, and showcase their impact on the company. The model, under the theme “Elev8”, highlights eight simple principles to elevate their contributions to the overall organization. The Elev8 model empowers all HR leaders to assess their effectiveness and focus on growing their capability and impact in the future.
