Are you concerned about a growing disconnect between HR and core business operations? In the latest episode of the TroopHR Podcast, I had the privilege to connect with Rebecca Taylor, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer of SkillCycle, to discuss HR's crucial role in bridging this gap. Here are the key takeaways: ✅ The Disconnect between HR and Business: Among the business community, there is a concern that HR has become increasingly disjointed from the core business. We discussed a recent example where HR, potentially dismissed or distracted by non-critical initiatives, overlooked crucial financial indicators that led to over-hiring and subsequent layoffs. Rebecca shares some great ways to close these perceived gaps. ✅ Justifying HR Investments: From CAPEX to FTEs, HR will need to get accustomed to leaner tech-empowered teams. This provides a unique opportunity to better hone our business justifications for these types of investments. Rebecca emphasizes the importance of clearly communicating the potential ROI for HR initiatives, just as any other leader in the business would. She adds, "In order to provide ROI data, you have to start with data." ✅ Embracing the Messy Reality of Career Paths: We challenged the notion that every leader's career unfolds like a perfectly choreographed movie. While retrospective views of our careers may fit neatly into a cinematic narrative, the reality is more akin to a sometimes messy, albeit purposeful, adventure. Listen to the full episode to learn more about how HR can better align with and drive impact for the business. 🎙 Episode here: https://lnkd.in/ecpEcddF
