As organizations in Asia are requiring HR to play a more active role in helping to achieve business goals, many HR professionals are being requested to actively contribute to setting and implementing the business strategy. HR professionals are also being called upon to play the role of strategic advisor to the business.

How can HR play an active role in helping to implement business strategy?

Through developing congruent HR and Human Capital (HC) strategies that align business needs to HR, HR can directly contribute to business success. Acquiring the knowledge and applying the know-how to make this happen have become an imperative for HR professionals in Asia.

In this special workshop, we explore how HR can translate the business strategy into HR action.

“Business managers and leaders often share that they are unclear of how HR can add value to the business. Further, many explain that when working with HR they are not sure of what to ask for or how to determine their HC requirements over the short-medium-long term period. Conversely, many HR professionals we work with struggle to translate and align HR practices to business needs. This program will help to demystify the process of what HR needs to do to create a plan that is directly linked to what the business requires.” - Brenda Wilson, Business Leader, Human Capital, Hong Kong.

What our session will cover:

• The big picture: Defining strategy
• Why HC strategy matters for your business…and you
• Understanding what HC strategy your business needs
• Building your HC strategy
• Making HC strategy come to life

Attending this workshop will help participants:

• Gain an awareness of the critical role HR plays in helping to execute the business strategy through people
• Discover what it means to develop congruent and coherent HC systems
• Appreciate the differences between HR and HC strategies and key elements
• Learn methods for engaging senior management and business leaders in helping to formulate a HC strategy
• Apply methods for translating business plans into HR goals through a case study

Who will benefit from attending:

This workshop is designed for HR directors, HR business partners, and HR professionals who may be taking on increasing responsibilities for HR planning in the future.
