Hispanic Executive Magazine Interviews Vanessa Vidal of ESQ Recruiting in its April/May/June 2013 Issue on the evolving role of Human Resource and how it is now functioning as a strategic business partner.
“In today’s economic context, HR can no longer be a reactive offstage function whose aim is to respond to a given business situation. Strategic HR is the realization that HR has to play a more significant and proactive role in the strategic goals and objectives of an organization. HR departments are recognized as strategic partners within an organization when they fully understand its business. Run HR like a business, and take a position on strategic issues.Strategic HR departments understand their organization’s business, how the money flows, and what drives growth and profitability. They also run their departments like a business by thinking about what would best serve the overall business, and by proactively contributing to the development and accomplishment of the organization-wide business plan and objectives. They build partnerships with internal and external customers. They develop human-resource programs with long-term objectives, and increase employee productivity by focusing on business obstacles that occur outside of human resources. Finally, they come up with and share ideas on how to help people in the organization meet their goals and contribute to the overall business plan.”
