Turning Strategic Intent into Real Results

Q. Can a CEO put HR on frontline of the business?
A. Where the executive has the capability and experience to do so this would be quite possible. With strong leadership skills and a good understanding of what drives the business an executive can leverage the talents and abilities of the people they lead. I have seen HR managers placed in such roles to broaden their experience and perspectives who have done an outstanding job, leading them to more strategic roles as a result. There are HR executives who have become successful CEOs and Ann Sherry, CEO Carnival Australia, is one such example.

Q. According to you, what steps is the HR taking to meet CEO’s expectations and business’ real- time needs?
A. Every area of contribution of HR can become a significant contribution. Some examples are:
Management of turnover issues reducing the cost, creating positive retention, enhancing the talent pool and the effectiveness of performance. Transforming the leadership culture to lead new initiatives.
• Employee relations and development programmes to engage them in changing their skills to be able to move in direction of the organisation.
• CSR programmes that are integral to developing a sound direction for the organisation and the society.
• Programmes that enhance quality of working life and increase levels of engagement and retention.
• Evaluation of culture for M&As and transformation programmes to prevent failure from untested assumptions.
• Succession planning initiatives to have a strong pool of candidates leading to natural progressive transitions of leaders. Click here to read full interview...
