From the road, in an executive meeting this week with a client; the following quote was heard that had to be broadcast to the world through this medium:
We continue to try to figure out how to align HR to the business and what we need to do is show how HR is the business in our organization
This statement hit home hard in a way that business leaders often never quite realize. Here is a business leader saying that to make his business successful (a distribution facility), that it is required to show business leaders how people ARE the most important piece of that center and without them (the right people, the right skills, the right communication, the right alignment); they have nothing.
Lets recap:
As HR continues to look for ways to make business cases for HRMS, HCM and talent management technology solutions that support the business or for many we see, only support their department; this hasn't worked well and continues not to work.
Knowledge Infusion will continue to work with businesses worldwide to show that HR systems are not meant to be only back office, support and cost saving tools; they are meant to be mission critical to the business. The thought that payroll is the only mission critical application in the technology stack is becoming more obsolete every day. Where are you in this amazing transformation of business that is occurring?
