CHRO and the Board

The Strategic CHRO

HR gains strategic relevance by putting processes and thinking in place that offer insight to speed up and help inform business direction, reduce risk and empower critical talent and compensation decisions.  

Essential to this equation is the need to give talent a more prominent role in board meetings, and with this, rethinking the CHRO’s role on the board.  There is an intuitive linkage when the CHRO can offer the data to drive powerful and holistic organization and talent discussions aligned to business strategy. 

With the CHRO as the steward, the CEOs is empowered to confidently lead the human capital dimension.  Giving the CEO and the board of directors an in-depth understanding of their human capital equation enriches those business decisions that are mobilized by talent. 

The Expanding CHRO Role

Essential to a CHRO delivering true strategic value is having a business mindset, with a pulse on the latest developments in their company and industry, as well as a firm grasp on shifting HR trends and global talent demographics.

A critical component to this is being able to provide analytical talent insight.  Analytics, supported by digital technology, are the bedrock to  better, quicker and more informed talent decisions aligned to business strategy. 

It's human capital analytics that deliver critical insights on your people; what makes them passionate and how to drive their contributions in a way that delivers on the success of the business.
