What the “C” Team Wants from HR – Part 3

Making sure your “C” Team knows HR “Get’s It”.

Be someone who makes recommendations on how to accomplish organizational goals.
Example: Downsizing? Review candidates targeted to leave and provide opinions on the best use of their skill sets to filter and keep the best talent in-house.

Recognize what people do best in your workforce and reward them.
- Be willing to educate yourself in the ways of your organization
- Select, mentor, train and develop great people

Be someone who volunteers to work on special assignments. Stay attentive to changing strategic goals.

Be someone who understands the competitive space in which the organization works.

Understand the risks and liabilities involving your workforce and recommend actions to avoid them.

Be someone who doesn’t think of HR responsibilities as just a calendar of events – think about matching up results from workforce reports, designed to track those events, with the objectives of the organization.

To be sure you “Get It”, know it’s not about tasks – it’s about selling products and providing services to customers. Don’t bog down the process with requirements, which slow workforce progress.

Explain clearly the benefits and priorities for any actions which take time away from productivity.
