Structure for today’s discussion Principles Structure and Reporting Lines Key Responsibilities Benefits Transition – i.e. the journey Questions

Background and Principles

HR Dialogue Feedback a greater understanding of the business is

required not going to the right person and/or not knowing

who the right person is – go to a “few” favoured and selected contacts or just straight to the HR Director

not enough strategic work is being done because operational is urgent and takes precedence

too much going through the HR Director’s office difficulty in finding the specialists when we

recruit, the trend is towards generalists
