More than 5,000 mainly HR professionals around the world participated in this survey and more than 200 senior executives of leading companies shared their insights in personal interviews. In many companies, the links between corporate strategy and HR on the one hand and between HR and business metrics on the other are often too weak. However, HR departments have a pivotal role in deducting how a company’s overall strategy drives all people issues and tracking the impact of its HR work. After having mapped the HR landscape, the speaker will explore how several key initiatives are best set up, implemented and evaluated to meet the criteria of strategic linkage and impact measurement. Successful approaches will be illustrated by best practice examples.
