HR's evolution - from strategic business partner to value creator

The hard truth:

Despite earning a seat at the table as "strategic partners," the expectations for most HR functions are still rising. CEOs now expect HR functions and HR leaders to deliver measurable business impact, not just HR programs.

And with the rising expectations comes a tremendous opportunity for HR leaders to have more impact than ever before. The future of HR is bright, but only if we shift our mindset and capabilities from a strategic partner to a true business value creator.  

To be a value creator, HR leaders need to build on their core strategic partner skills and develop new capabilities that together create value and new ways of working.  

The HR leaders of the future will create value by:
