Curate tactics to effectively promote HR’s value and increase support among key audiences.
Non-HR employees are unaware of HR’s strategic contributions, with only 38% of non-HR respondents feeling HR is a partner in planning and executing the organizational strategy compared to 51% of HR respondents feeling the same way (McLean & Company 2024 HR Trends Survey, n=1,019 and 125 respectively).
This misalignment is further reinforced as the nature of HR’s value is more visible through long-term intangible benefits (e.g. value on investment), despite key audiences expecting short-term returns on investment.
Marketing HR’s value is not about sharing a list of what HR does. Through intentional selection of marketing tactics, HR is best positioned to showcase the meaningful impact of its work on the organization and reinforce positive perceptions across audiences.
