Human Relations is having something of a renaissance in terms of its overall effect in helping a company achieve its long-term goals. Savvy HR leaders are helping firms take a more active role in instilling in employees a direct link between their personal success and the success of their company. Cultivating the kind of talent that evolves to meet the new challenges that emerge in an ever-changing business climate is essential. Robyn Clark, Global Management and HR consulting firm BPI Group's Managing Director of talent solutions, says now more than ever C-Suite executives are in need of a trusted advisor, and more and more are turning to HR leaders to fill those shoes.
Consulting: What are some of the biggest HR challenges firms are facing?
Clark: One of the biggest things I know organizations are worried about is how do we have a workforce and talent for the future. Part of that evolves around how is the organization going to evolve in order to be relevant in the marketplace. The other part of that is how do we make sure our talent is developing in order to support that. That has myriad issues attached to it, so people have to have the right skills, the right mindset, and have to be able to apply it. If that's not on HR leaders' minds, it really should be.
