CIPD responds to KPMG International report on ‘Rethinking HR for a Changing World’
To truly deliver for their organisations, HR professionals need to be ‘business savvy’, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). In response to new research by the Economist Intelligence Unit, commissioned by KPMG International, which found that HR is viewed as a non-essential department within some organisations, the CIPD highlights the unique position and value of HR.
Commenting on the report, Vanessa Robinson, Head of HR Practice and Development, CIPD said: “HR professionals are in a unique position to be able to spot the hard and soft factors in organisations that represent either risks, or opportunities, for driving sustainable performance. The need for HR practitioners to demonstrate their ‘business savvy’ ability was highlighted in CIPD research, published earlier this year. Our report, Business savvy: giving HR the edge, showed that the majority of HR professionals get this and continually and instinctively step up to the challenge.
