HR professionals are constantly challenged to improve their credibility, influence, and impact within their organizations. This workshop will equip HR professionals with a framework that they can use to understand and apply 6 Strategic practices that can elevate their thinking, approaches, and results to help them be viewed as true strategic partners for business leaders.

Learning objectives for this session include:

• Challenging your thinking as an HR professional to adopt a more strategic HR mindset compared to a transactional or purely service-delivery mindset.
• Developing skills to more deeply understand the strategy of your organization and its business model and to build stronger relationships of trust with business partners.
• Applying higher level talent management thinking and practices to solve business problems.
