As stewards of corporate culture and champions of business ethics, HR professionals need to give voice to strategies that help build strong organizations and support their long-term viability. When the C-suite focuses solely on delivering maximum shareholder value in the short-term, decisions are often made that have detrimental effects on the corporate culture and the long-term viability of the organization.
The current financial paradigm that our corporations and businesses are based upon is outdated. Putting shareholders first harms investors, corporations and the public. HR’s strategic role as leader of a paradigm shift and as corporate change agent is vital.
This presentation will help HR professionals understand the “Shareholder Value Myth” and HR’s role in influencing strategic decisions to build companies that provide sustained benefit for both shareholders and employees over the long-term.
Come and learn what’s next for Finance and HR!
