💫Five takeaways from our HR Manhattan event! We recently hosted a fantastic event in Manhattan, bringing together top HR and Talent Acquisition leaders to discuss how to drive greater strategic impact. Here are five key takeaways from the morning: 🟦 Elevating Executive Impact: Peter Phelan showed how Appreciative Inquiry and positive psychology can shift executive-level perceptions and drive change. 🟦 Breaking Down Silos: Closing the gap between HR and TA is key. A data-driven approach helps both teams work toward shared goals. 🟦 Improving Hiring Manager Relationships: Clear expectations and data-backed insights can strengthen relationships and improve hiring outcomes. 🟦 Communicating with the Board: Tailoring HR insights to board priorities boosts HR’s strategic influence. AI tools can help. 🟦 Quality of Hire: We explored new ways to measure this tricky metric, from performance to employee satisfaction.
