What's Hindering HR Success in 2019? - which includes key insights and 9 key takeaways.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE RESEARCH:
Improving organizational productivity and efficiency is the top organizational goal for 2019. Participants were asked to choose up to four items that represent their organization's most critical business goals. The most commonly selected response was "improve our productivity/efficiency," cited by 63%. Taken in aggregate, people/talent remain a top priority as an enabler of most other goals.
Barely one-third of respondents view HR as playing a strong strategic role. When asked about which roles they play in their organizations, the answers that responding HR practitioners are most likely to give (to a high or very high degree) are the roles of administrator (76%) and compliance expert (75%). Although such roles can be important in organizations, they do not seem very well aligned with organizational strategic goals related to productivity, engagement, sales growth and customer satisfaction. Such goals are more strongly related to roles such as culture keeper, business partner and strategist.
HR efficiency leaders align organizational goals more closely to HR goals. HR efficiency leaders are more likely than efficiency laggards to view their goals as aligned with overall organizational goals. This suggests that HR alignment and efficiency could be related.
