FREE WEBINAR: Getting Leadership to Listen to HR

by Aug 7, 2024

Do you ever feel like you’re pouring your heart into your work, only to have it go unnoticed? 

As an HR professional, you’re tasked with and excited about creating a positive workplace, solving complex issues, creating and implementing strategies, and driving organizational change.

Yet, your ideas and initiatives get drowned out by the constant buzz of daily demands.

Compounding the issue, only 46% of business leaders view their organization’s HR function as strategic, compared to 67% who see finance and 60% who consider supply chain as such. This perception hinders HR professionals from being recognized as key strategic partners within their organizations.

It’s tough when your well-researched policies and your suggestions based on HR industry best-practices are ignored or overlooked. You might find yourself facing the frustration of having your plans for improving the culture sidelined, while urgent issues like a key-employee quitting take priority. Now you’re disconnected, and you’re working hard but not making the difference you know you’re capable of.

We hear this frustration all the time, so we’ve got a way to help shift things in your favor. Our upcoming webinar, Getting Leadership to Listen to HR happening on August 28th at 10am PT / 1pm ET. 

This session will provide practical strategies to break through the noise and make your voice heard. We’ll explore ways to effectively communicate your insights, align your goals with leadership’s objectives, and gain the support you need to drive meaningful change.

Register now to reserve your spot and get ready to transform your approach to leadership communication. Attendees will earn 1 SHRM credit and gain access to exclusive resources designed to help you succeed.

Don’t miss this chance to amplify your impact. See you there!

Incivility, bullying, and harassment occur because the culture allows them to. Before starting inclusivity initiatives, you’ve got to stop bad behavior. Take this assessment to determine if your workplace fosters a positive culture.
