Through their knowledge of the business and its human capital, CHROs are in a unique position to help senior management and boards of directors drive performance through HR- and talent-related policies that support the company’s long-term strategy. Tactics for driving performance include strategic workforce planning, forward-thinking executive compensation design, and communication to and engagement of internal stakeholders in long-term strategy.
