What Every CEO Needs to Know About HR
 

If you ask a CEO "What does your HR leader do?" he or she is likely to say: "You got me. I just know I need to have one." We expect our HR execs to look after employee records, hire and train people, administer performance reviews, and see that comp and benefits practices chug along.  

 

Beyond that, the mission can get fuzzy, fast. Most CEOs I know don't have a ready answer to the question "How does your HR leader help your organization compete?" nor do they have a handy list of must-do activities for an HR exec charged with boosting the organization's competitive mojo.

 

It's every HR chief's highest calling to make sure his or her employer has the most excited, switched-on, and capable people on the market.

 

Here's a list of the things your HR head should be doing right now.   

Delayed Again-
Employee Rights Notice Posting Requirement

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily enjoined the NLRB's rule requiring the posting of employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The rule, which had been scheduled to take effect on April 30, 2012, will not take effect until the legal issues are resolved. There is no new deadline for the posting requirement at this time.
