If you ask a CEO \u201cWhat does your HR leader do?\u201d he or she is likely to say: \u201cYou got me. I just know I need to have one.\u201d 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\u2019t have a ready answer to the question \u201cHow does your HR leader help your organization compete?\u201d nor do they have a handy list of must-do activities for an HR exec charged with boosting the organization\u2019s competitive mojo.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s a list of the things your HR head should be doing right now:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Collaborating with you and other leaders to design and communicate a vision for the company, using every communication vehicle you have.<\/li>\n
  2. Selling your company to the \u201ctalent population,\u201d in person, online, and via print and broadcast media. An HR leader should articulate the organization\u2019s culture and story, not only for recruiting purposes but to fuel all of your activities with clients, vendors, media, and the business community.<\/li>\n
  3. Teaching all employees to tell the truth at work, especially when sticky interpersonal or political wrangles crop up. (Note to CEO: This includes telling you when you sound like a crazy person.)<\/li>\n
  4. Reinforcing a culture that emphasizes ingenuity over irrelevant, one-size-fits-all metrics.<\/li>\n
  5. Building a pipeline of qualified, energized people to fuel the company\u2019s growth – scrapping the requisition-by-requisition, transactional recruitment model.<\/li>\n
  6. Shifting the HR function away from a break\/fix model (\u201cBenefits question? Second door on the left.\u201d) to an embedded function in your business units.<\/li>\n
  7. Installing just enough HR process to meet your company\u2019s regulatory compliance needs but not so much that people are stymied or treated like children.<\/li>\n
  8. Building a culture of collaboration that fuels every important program at your company. If your HR chief isn\u2019t the advocate for people and evangelist for your culture, that\u2019s a bad sign.<\/li>\n
  9. Asking your team members every day for their input on your business, their own careers, and life in general – not via a sterile, once-a-year \u201cemployee engagement survey.\u201d<\/li>\n
  10. Replacing fear with trust at every opportunity, in policies, training sessions, management practices, and via every conversation in the place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s a new day in HR. Is your company on the cutting edge, or bringing up the rear?<\/p>\n
