Nearly half (45%) of CHROs think one of the biggest challenges they’ll face in the coming years is a talent shortage. And, as organizations continue to transform in response to a changing market and trends such as digitalization, HR officers are already rethinking what talent their companies will need. We can contribute in ways like these:

• Identify what “good” looks like in each role, including the skill sets and competencies that lead to success
• Assess your current workforce based on our Success Profiles to identify gaps for development and hiring
• Upskill and reskill workers and deploy talent to the right roles

Globalizations, change management and the increasing complexity of the HR function: all of these challenges place the CHRO front and center as a trusted advisor to boards, CEOs and the executive team. To thrive, CHROs need more than HR acumen; they must also be strategic, understand the complex nuances of aligning talent and business strategy and create alignment across executive leadership teams. Here’s how we help you build your leadership pipeline:

• Identify the key competencies, traits and drivers needed for successful HR executives
• Leverage our vast network around the globe to identify emerging and current HR leaders
• Create a leadership development program to accelerate HR executives’ contributions and impact

Employee engagement is a leading indicator of organizational health and sustainable performance. Indeed, organizations with high levels of employee engagement tend to perform better than competitors in terms of innovation, productivity, customer satisfaction and financial results. But 30% of employees report that they aren’t engaged at work—and they represent a real threat to their employer, whether that is through the costs of employee turnover, the loss of their intellectual capital or negativity that may spread to the rest of their team. We help organizations build a more engaged workforce in a number of ways:

• Survey your workforce to understand your employees’ needs and wants
• Identify and analyze the talent and organizational levers linked to operational metrics
• Build an employee experience program that drives alignment and change

Human resources is just like any other business unit: it must articulate its value and demonstrate that value with tangible outcomes and sound metrics. When run strategically, HR can unlock the true power of the talent inside their organizations. Here’s how we help you unleash your talent:

• Develop a vision that allows everyone to understand how their work connects to the organization’s success
• Reward performance in ways that motivate and engage your people and ensure that your organization gets a good return on investment
• Show how performance management and individual development strategies deliver greater business value
