OverviewCreate maximum talent and organizational impact by developing your senior human resource leaders.

Human resources and senior HR professionals sit at the epicenter

of impact, with a seat at the leadership table and influence on the

most critical strategic lever in an organization: talent.

When talent management, leadership development, and an

organizational culture are aligned to an organization’s business

strategy, the likelihood of delivering on the organization’s

strategic goals is greatly enhanced.

To be successful, CHROs, senior human resource executives and

high-potential groups of the next generation of HR leaders must

learn to manage varied interests and objectives from a large

group of stakeholders, including the CEO, executive leadership

team, and Board, as well as regional and business unit leaders, and

employees from across the enterprise.

The role of human resources is to design talent strategies that

accelerate business performance; drive a common language of

talent across the organization; engage leaders at all levels in a

development culture that supports strategy activation; and attract

and retain the very best talent both internally and externally.

Human resources is about managing an organization’s largest

asset, and consequently it’s largest risk—people.

Why HR executive development matters.

The responsibilities and pressures on the human resources

function are only increasing as CEOs realize that competing on

talent is an imperative to success. While many HR executives have

come up through the ranks having to fight for their function’s

seat at the table, today they are expected to have solid business

acumen, executive leadership skills, global perspective, and the

strategic talent expertise to serve as an advisor to the CEO, and

the Board, as well as lead change across the enterprise.

Supporting HR development unleashes this function’s ability to

impact the alignment of culture and talent management strategies

with business performance. It also enables HR executives to lead

with ease, confidence, and certainty that their executive presence

carries the full weight of influence needed to keep talent at the top

of the agenda.

Korn Ferry knows human resources.

In our work with thousands of human resource leaders across the

globe, we have not only researched what it takes for HR leaders to

create maximum impact, but we have defined the best practices for

their development. We understand the expectations from CEOs and

chairmen and how to identify gaps and work with HR executives to

become the leaders they need to be. Beyond development, we serve

as advisors to senior HR executives, teams and CHROs in helping

them formulate their talent strategy, talent management processes,

and on-going enterprise-wide talent initiatives. We help HR leaders

ensure their organization hires the right talent and we are often

the “boots on the ground” around the world making sure that the

organization’s global talent needs are fulfilled and returning results.

A holistic approach to human resources development.

Based on Korn Ferry’s Four Dimensions of Talent, we take a holistic

approach that dives into each person’s unique motivators, skills,

experiences and potential derailers to help build a development

approach that supports their full development as functional leaders

and HR professionals. We also work closely with HR teams to help

create unity, foster more effectiveness, and to ensure that a strong

succession plan is in place.

Our solution suite provides a full array of programs, services,

assessments, and learning experiences designed specifically to meet

the needs of today’s foremost HR senior executives.
