Leading an HR Transformation

HR managers have been trained to think of themselves as cost centers, challenged at every budget cycle to cut, pare, and shrink expenses. But executives still roll their eyes and ask, ""But what impact do you have on our bottom line""? By breaking down organizational silos and using a proven process to generate and foster collective thinking, HR can shift the paradigm from developing programs, policies, and processes to improving the performance and productivity of the workforce. Leading an HR Transformation presents a roadmap for a new way to look at human resources in terms of the multiple roles that HR plays on the business scene. Anderson skillfully walks readers through the purpose, objectives, knowledge, and skills required; work products; and tools and resources useful to the practitioner. Along the way, she presents a compelling process for using the skills, competencies, and attributes of the HR team in a systematic and holistic way.
