Human Resources are often criticised for being too functional (siloed) and compliance driven. This can become a major barrier to success.
Investment in human resources should result in:
Employee performance and engagement.
Reductions in turnover.
Ability to attract and retain key talent and skills.
Effective employee development programmes.
Succession bench-strength, and the list goes on.
One proven way to deliver on the above is to design your various HR functions around the skills, abilities, and other human ‘resources’ you have and need, to deliver on your organisation's strategy.
