Your CEO thinks HR is operational, not strategic?

by Nov 14, 2024

Do these comments resonate with you? 

  • Owners don’t understand that we’re not just paperwork.
  • HR is a punching bag expected to resolve everyone’s mess.
  • There’s no HR budget, no support, and a team of 2 for 300+ employees.
  • Even after a workforce survey, leadership still won’t listen to me!

 

It’s been 15 years of delivering webinars to an HR audience totalling hundreds of thousands of people. And I hear this stuff in every. single. webinar.

I’m sick of it. I’m guessing you are too. 

HR has been talking about “a seat at the table” forever. And women have been talking about “a seat at the table” since the beginning of time. S&P Global research finds that women hold just 12% of C-Suite roles right now, and estimates gender parity won’t be reached until 2072.

Since the HR profession is 75% women, I’m thinkin’ there’s a correlation.

I’m starting a movement – the People Professionals’ Powerhouse Forum, or P3.

It’s exclusively for HR professionals who struggle getting their leadership to listen. It’s for HR professionals who want to grow into building and executing strategy, but get stuck in the day-to-day fires and operations. 

 

P3 is:

  • Approximately eight HR professionals per forum, facilitated by our CEO, Catherine Mattice
  • Your collective experience to problem solve in a confidential and safe space 
  • Thought-partnership and support in overcoming your unique challenges
  • Curated experts invited to discuss topics chosen by your forum group
  • One, two-hour meeting per month for six months

 

P3 is not:

  • A webinar where your question is drowned out by 300 other attendees
  • Raising your hand in the middle of conference presentation and asking a vague question so others don’t know all the ugly details, then getting a vague answer
  • Speaker topics that may or may not be relevant to you

 

CEO’s love their executive forums. Now it’s your turn. 

Here’s a P3 Information Packet with more information, tips for convincing your boss, and insight into what makes this group different from your memberships in other groups. 

Fill out this short application, and get yourself enrolled by November 26. There are only 16 spots right now. One of them has your name on it.

Level up your skills, level up your career, level up the business – and earn the respect you deserve. 

Join the movement. Make leaders hear your voice. 

 

Sincerely,

Catherine Mattice, CEO

 

If you have questions, schedule time with our team member, the fabulous Rebecca Del Secco.

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.
