Human Resources

Being credited with success as a HR director in a specific position at a particular time depends on many factors. Different regions of the world, industry sectors, individual companies and management teams all have their own imperatives and impact on how the experience and skills of a great HR director are defined. Within the framework of management appraisals, Egon Zehnder International interviewed over 2,000 HR professionals globally last year. On the basis of these interviews the firm has drawn generic conclusions and published them in a new brochure entitled In search of the elusive. A collective perspective of what makes a great HR director.
