Read NowUnlock the True Power of HR
In many ways, this is the whitepaper that started it all: Unlock the True Power of HR. We surveyed business leaders of medium and small companies and found that less than 10% of HR professionals devote time to making their case and proving the value of HR to the C-suite. Frankly, that finding surprised us, and so we decided to do something about it. The HR Center of Excellence provides HR leaders with actionable plans that help them assess, optimize and excel at the six most important pillars of HR: benefits, people management, compliance, employee experience, labor costs and recruiting. Unlock the True Power of HR is based in large part on proprietary data gleaned from our active customer base of more than 30,000 companies. It’s the foundation of much of the work that came after, and we look forward to building on the story in the years to come.
