Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Organizational outcomes improve when HR is involved in organizational strategic planning and decisions about the workforce. As such, HR must continue increasing its involvement in these areas.
  • Unfortunately, strategic planning within HR, at the department or function level, is underused, which may be contributing to HR’s slowed traction in expanding its strategic impact more broadly.
  • In their drive to support others, HR professionals too often neglect their own development and challenges. HR stress levels are increasing, and more varied and holistic HR development is required to keep pace with changing needs. Organizations that help HR professionals develop their skills and manage stress have more effective HR departments.
