Where do you spend your time in HR?

These responses from HR people tell the story of wasted HR talent. The majority, in the blue zone, feel they’re in catch-up mode.

Imagine the impact for organisations if the potential of all those committed, conscientious HR people could be released into more value-creating and rewarding work.

What could this look like?

• Working proactively with their workforce plans rather than suffering delays in filling vacancies – so that managers aren’t stressed and missing targets
• Coaching line managers to develop their people rather than sorting out performance issues – leading to retention of key talent
• Building collaborative relationships with line managers rather than being on the back foot – enabling them to co-create solutions to new business challenges.

These are just three examples of the time dynamic that forces HR people into a reactive spiral.
