The need for HR to be more strategic has been talked about for over 20 years now, so it is no wonder that there is often a tendency to dismiss the idea of strategic HR. However, understanding what being strategic means, and being able to act in a way which delivers this, is still really important. In addition, it has become increasingly clear both what strategic HR involves and that it is not what many people think. Whilst HR has many urgent, transactional priorities right now, this is actually a great time to think more strategically too.
Firstly, although we need to continue engaging with people and helping to manage the workforce differently, we can also often do this in way which provides more transformational opportunities too.
Secondly, we can also use this time to prepare for a more strategic focus once we have passed through the current crisis. Whether we are looking at our employer brands, people organisation, HR business partnering, performance management processes or reward practices, there are really substantial benefits to be gained from acting more strategically. We can prepare to transform our approaches in all of these areas now.

Attend this free webinar (and think about registering for the follow-up learning programmes) to improve your skills, respond to the present crisis, and have more strategic impact when we move beyond this.
