About this Working Group:
As part of ongoing CAHRS research on the Chief Human Resource Officer role, we are inviting you to a small networking/discussion group. The group is ONLY open to those currently holding the CHRO role in their firm and will be a chance to bounce ideas and issues off of your peers. The group discussion will focus on issues such as:
- How do you define/describe your Chief HR Officer role in terms of the major activities that you have accountability for? What does it take to effectively manage these accountability areas? How do you actually spend your time in this role?
- What makes the CHRO role so different from the roles that report to it? What do you wish you had known about the role before you stepped into it? How might you have better prepared for it?
- What are the major challenges or issues of conflict that you face in the CHRO role? How do you effectively manage those challenges or conflicts?
- How are we influencing business strategy and course correcting?
- How are we influencing leaders and their actions?
- How are CHRO's leading cost and productivity initiatives-current and planned strategies?
- How are we stabilizing our workforces-engaging them and delivering productivity?
Our hope is to construct a rich contextual description of the contemporary CHRO role from this discussion, and to use that description to help diagnose and better understand why some view the CHRO pipeline as weak or inconsistent. It is also a unique forum in which to build and expand your peer network. All conversations will be considered strictly confidential, and will only be used in anonymous and aggregated form.
