The Outstanding HR Executive: The Value of a Business Line Role

The human touch

As the lead strategist for human resources management, the Chief Human Resources Officer has a major part to play in ensuring the company’s long-term success – a success that must be founded on highly effective people development strategies, encompassing far more than just a competitive pay scale. The human resources function must finally move beyond defining HR processes to embrace strategic elements as well. Only then will HR be able to make a genuine contribution to the organization’s capabilities.
