Moving from Administrative to Partner
(This came to me anonymously from an HR Manager - Steve)
I wanted to ask the group if they had any advice on how to move from an administrative approach to HR to becoming more of a sought-after internal partner.
I work for a company where HR has been viewed as a function to just keep the wheels going by completing paperwork and performing tactical tasks. I want to help us become more involved in the business and show others how our department can add value. It's tough because the old approach has such a stronghold here.
Any thoughts you can share would really help.
Thanks!

To me, the way to do just what you are asking is to demonstrate how HR can drive business results. I have taught a course for many years on how exactly to do that and would be glad to walk you through the process. You can check me out at www.schwarzanalytics.com. I use a measurement approach that is appealing to most skeptical general managers, particularly those who view their role through a mainly financial lens. please feel free to reach out for a conversation. schwarJL@miamioh.edu
