- The next London HR Connection event will take place at 6pm on 31st Jan at the Fitzrovia Hotel, Bolsover St, W1.
- The event will see a fascinating topic debated by great panellists
According to many of the HR leaders surveyed in a recent global survey, there are critical gaps in alignment between HR teams and the C-suite. Both in executive leadership recognising the importance of priority HR programmes and initiatives and in understanding the value HR was providing to the business.
You are invited to our next face to face event – kindly sponsored by the leading people platform, Lattice – where HR experts on our panel will lead a debate on this thorny and topical issue.
Some of the findings under discussion will focus on the fact that just 48% of HR professionals say their C-suites take the data from employee surveys seriously, only half say their C-suites recognise that a positive culture leads directly to better business outcomes and, most worryingly, just 27% felt that company leadership believes in HR’s impact on business revenue.
This disconnect is also driving a significant difference of opinions around layoff recovery, something many teams have recently faced and will continue to navigate moving forward. A significant majority of HR leaders (74%) said it takes between four months and up to a year for employee morale and productivity to bounce back after a layoff, while most said that their C-suite (66%) expected a full recovery within three months or less.
