Five New Year’s Resolutions for HR Leaders

Jan 03, 2018

“I’ve got new rules and I count ‘em”

· I will ensure that all HR operations are digitally managed.

· I will reach every employee individually, frequently and meaningfully, through digital communication.

· I will engage with the vast, exciting world outside of my company through all forms of digital media.

· I will measure profit per employee of my entire company and of all its important segments.

· I will design actions to improve profit per employee through increasing revenue and not just reducing employees.

· To do the above, I will understand the top three (no more) economic drivers of my business. If I don’t know them, I will find out.

· I will not start an HR analytics initiative that does not have an actionable insight on a profit improvement number in dollars.

· I will know the cost incurred and value created by each employee segment. (E.g. Bands, Grades, Divisions, Clients)

· I will know the price-value match of my top fifty business leaders.

· I will believe that everyone’s intent is as good as mine.

· I will understand that even people who are not pulling their weight are trying their best.

· Appreciation and encouragement will form the basis of all my conversations.

· I will be swift in removing people and processes that are coming in the way of the growth of business or people.

· I will believe that a lot of brilliant and diverse talent is in the market, waiting for opportunity.

· I will create a culture and an organization design that looks outside and seizes opportunities, and not one that obsesses about itself.
