The human side
Human resources practices at today's corporate headquarters are focusing on leadership and competency development, global HR, talent management, and cost reduction, according to a recent report from The Conference Board.
"Common themes emerging from corporate interviews include implementing an agenda of change under the leadership of a new corporate head of HR and creating a context of collaboration between HR@HQ and HR in the business units", says Robert J. Kramer, principal researcher at The Conference Board and author of the report. "The role of HR@HQ alternates between centralization and decentralization and reflects the overall changing context of companies due to environmental and internalforces."
