“Aligned at the Top,” a new global study conducted by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), reveals that while executives and HR leaders both view people as an issue of strategic importance, there is also an increasing tension between company needs and HR's ability to deliver.
The study, which surveyed 531 senior business executives and HR leaders representing every major industry and region, suggests that most HR functions are still transforming themselves — or thinking of transforming themselves — from administrator to strategist, and many have yet to develop the capacity and capabilities required to tackle their company's current and future strategic challenges.
Excerpt:
Although senior business executives viewed people issues as strategically important, they are not confident that HR is ready for the challenge. In fact, only 25 percent felt that HR "plays a crucial role in strategy formulation and operational success."
