For many HR professionals, winning the respect of the CEO and other executives is an uphill battle. Most HR people agree that CEOs and line managers don’t give them the respect they deserve. Yet all CEOs seem to agree that ‘people’ are a company’s most important asset. So why is HR so often the |
lowest paid function? And when the leaders of a
company fail to recognize the importance of HR, how can HR
people advance their careers?
This
seminar will be a blunt, revealing look at what CEOs and
Line Managers say about HR behind closed doors. You’ll learn
how to stand out from ‘average’ HR people, how to get
executives to listen, and how to build credibility inside
your company. |
|
Drawing on insights from hundreds of HR leaders and CEOs across North America, you'll receive direct, practical insight about issues such as:
- Why don't senior management teams value HR's strategic input?
- What can HR people do beyond the obvious to increase their value?
- What the world's top HR executives do differently that ensures a place at the strategy table;
- Why are HR executives almost never considered for CEO positions?
|
|
|
- Keys to help HR win credibility with all senior executives, no matter what industry;
- Is outsourcing a threat to the HR function? How do you prepare for it?
Only professionals with corporate HR experience will be
permitted to attend this session. This is a seminar
about your career in HR, and how to ensure that you are
given the respect and growth opportunities you deserve.
PLUS: A panel of senior HR executives will be on hand
to provide their own views and insights on the topics
discussed during this exciting seminar.
Cost to attend this seminar is $45 and all profits from ticket sales will be donated to Heifer International |
