HR becomes a shared responsibility, with line managers taking on a shared role. Their active participation will dramatically improve outcomes which include

-          More effective hiring of the right talent that fits the culture

-          Better talent retention

-          Enhanced employer branding

-          Higher motivation for peak performance, impacting bottom-line results

HR is in the forefront as a business partner, with a seat in the board-room. To build HR as a strategic business partner, we need management and line manager involvement. Even as HR needs to know the business, management and line managers also need to understand HR roles and responsibilities and how their participation and support can make a difference to the business. It for the integral HR practitioner to champion this cause. Over time, HR can be an integral part of the business, actively participating in developing business plans, M&A due diligence, divestments, etc.

By developing a pool of employees who understand HR disciplines, we also broaden the pool of internal talent who may wish to transition their career to HR. These internal talents, compared to new hires, bring with them a ready understanding of the business and culture, and therefore the failure rate is reduced.

Educate and train line managers in the relevant HR responsibilities such as counseling or career development of employees.
