Human. I had the good fortune of facilitating the reward summit yesterday for 100 of the leading Total Rewards Executives in Greater Boston (and throughout the country). My biggest takeaway (and there were many) - is that even though these leaders are so focused on the strategy & mechanics in each of their unique programs - the most important thing to all of them is the Human element, and where total rewards attaches to their human colleagues. #reward24

My first year attending #HRSUMMERSCHOOL 2024 complete! What a great resource for HR professionals (especially for those like myself who cannot join any annual conference this year)! Thank you Ben Eubanks, George Rogers and all keynote speakers! A few of many great takeaways: - Do not strive in the status quo. Strive in change, in innovation, and in driving purpose driven careers for others and yourself. - In HR we deal with the most important thing > people as individuals. - As HR leaders, it should be our goal to help others reach their greatest potential.

Weekend Well-Spent: Diving into HR Excellence!

Strategic HR Leadership: Explored how HR leaders can navigate today’s evolving landscape, focusing on strategic planning and impactful leadership. 3. DEIB Best Practices: Gained valuable insights into championing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging to foster a truly inclusive workplace. 4. Cultivating Continuous Learning: Discovered how to create a culture of psychological safety and continuous development, inspiring engagement and collaboration across teams. Thank you, Shweta Mogha, SPHR, ACC, CPCC, for such an insightful and transformative course! Excited to put these new skills into practice and drive positive change in the workplace. 💪📈 #HR #LearningJourney #HRAnalytics #SPHR #ProfessionalDevelopment #Inclusion #Leadership #DEIB

Has anyone ever told you that you need to be more strategic? It’s something that’s demanded of a lot of HR professionals. Would you know where to start? And, more importantly, is your organisation set up to accommodate and enable you to do it? It isn’t always you holding yourself back from making more of an impact. Any of these sound familiar? 🚫 Your organisation doesn’t have a clear strategy 🚫 Your leadership team don’t recognise your value 🚫 Your colleagues view you as administrative 🚫 You aren’t working for a strategic HR leader I experienced every one of these at various times in my HR career. My Group Strategy Programme, S.P.I.C.E. Business Leadership for HR is my pride and joy. I never felt particularly strategic in my HR career until I started working as a consultant and advisor to multiple small businesses and learned so much more from the non-HR leaders in these businesses. I’ve combined that knowledge with my 25 years of HR and created a modular roadmap to help you overcome all of the above, increase your understanding of what it means to be strategic and give you the confidence to go out there and do it 👊🏻 Over 80 HR professionals have now completed the SPICE programme, with incredible results (if you’re one of them, let us know in the comments what you got out of it?) We kick off the next cohort on 4th September. I’ll help you transform your approach to your role and how you’re seen and valued in your business by Christmas!

In any leadership role, but particularly for a CHRO, it's essential to recognize the influence they have and the responsibility that comes with it. As we all know, Human Resources isn't just about managing policies or payroll, it's about stewarding the most valuable resource of all: people. CHROs must be thoughtful about how they use both their human and organizational resources. Using resources wisely is a critical responsibility. This includes, championing fairness, investing in people, and allocating training, development, and wellness resources wisely. Every dollar and hour invested in the workforce should be aimed at long-term growth and employee well-being, not short-term gains or budget cuts. The CHRO position has the ability to drive change, build cultures, and create lasting impact, but only if resources and authority are used responsibly. It's not about power; it's about stewardship.
