How to build One HR Team

How do you get your HR team united and lined up behind delivering against your organisation’s priorities?

What is the best operating model for the HR function and how do you make it work?

As organisations become more flexible, responsive and customer-driven, so must HR. We have to fight against the tendency for HR to become a separate silo and also unite all our HR talent into one strong team that’s focused on delivering value.

While many have presented different operating models, it’s clear that the Ulrich 3-legged model of Expertise, Business Partnering and Shared Services still makes sense. It hasn’t always been successfully implemented, and sometimes goes off course.

In this one-hour webinar, we:

Explore the traps that HR functions can fall into and how to overcome them
Open up your thinking and explore together how you can choose how to operate and respond to today’s demands
Provide inspiration and ideas on how to bring your HR team/s together and challenge how they can operate as One HR Team.
