Executive Summary

Most companies struggle to quantify the impact of Human Resources (HR) on business results and tap into the strategic value of the function. This is set to change.

As organisationsorganizations compete for human capital, HR has enormous potential to move the needle on business results and drive competitive advantage. A committed and capable workforce sets leading companies apart from their peers. The risk for most organisationsorganizations is that HR won’t change enough, fast enough. To guard against this, HR leaders can springboard off new technologies and leverage proven strategies and practices from other functions.

This paper explores five domains that provide opportunities for HR to move the needle on organisationalorganizational performance:
