Today’s business climate continues to change at a rapid pace. Ongoing economic uncertainty and market volatility, combined with a changing global landscape, requires human resources professionals to possess a high level of business acumen and deliver value to multiple stakeholders both inside and outside of the company. For HR to thrive and directly impact business results, the competencies and capabilities of today’s human resources professionals must evolve. HR must know the business, focus strategically, solve business problems and influence change to impact business results and deliver a strong competitive advantage for their organizations. Keynote/Workshop by Jennifer McClure - President of Unbridled Talent LLC (http://unbridledtalent.com) In this session, Jennifer McClure will define the four critical skills today's HR leaders must develop to fully participate as business leaders—not just human resources leaders—in an increasingly complex global environment.
