The best HR leaders are game changers. They develop conviction about what constitutes a high-performance work culture. They are a force that helps develop the values and processes necessary to make a high-performance work culture come to life. The departments they run are NOT staffed with the type of order-takers Keith Hammonds described in his wildly popular Fast Company article entitled “Why We Hate HR.”
I recently wrote an article that describes a game changing strategy HR leaders should consider in light of today’s widespread employee disengagement. The article was just published as the lead article in the UK’s Developing HR Strategy journal. It’s entitled, “The Force of Connection: Boost Employee Engagement, Productivity and Innovation.” You can download it at this link.
