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.
