REVEALED: What CEOs want from HR

CEOs value integrity above all else in HR professionals, and while they expect them to deliver results bosses are not intersted in how they do it, new research has discovered.

Research from University of Reading’s Henley Business School titled, ‘What CEOs want from HR’, has shed some light onto the over-arching motivations of CEOs.

CEOs aren’t interested in the details of HR, instead they merely expect you and your team to deliver the core HR processes well. They will only become interested in the mechanics of HR when it hinders other departments ability to perform.

“CEOs are interested in revenue growth, profitability, innovation, and the ability to retain customers,” says Jeff Schwartz, principal in Deloitte Consulting’s human capital practice and co-leader for Deloitte’s global talent initiative, “They are interested in business issues and talent issues, but not HR issues.”
