HCI Membership

A Long-Awaited Opportunity

For the past two decades, HR professionals have been trying to claim a seat at the strategic table. Now that talent management has become a vital determinant of market success, it may be time for HR to lead the way. This could be the long-awaited opportunity.

But over time, HR has become proficient with administrative process, at the expense of strategic business knowledge. Because most HR functions are now non-strategic and replicable, they are being commoditized, outsourced and off-shored at a rapid pace.

A New Vocabulary

Today’s HR associations provide education for these daily HR practices, but continue to operate firmly within the human resources silo. This separates the HR professional from colleagues who think and speak in terms of broader business issues. By contrast, Talent Management is a highly strategic new discipline, and provides HR professionals with the vocabulary and insight to contribute as a business partner.

HCI is the only association that positions the HR leader at this intersection of human capital and business strategy. Becoming a member will broaden your perspective, open up educational opportunities, and introduce you to a community of like-minded, forward-looking colleagues.

As member, you’ll also have access to HCI’s Human Capital Strategist (HCS) Program, the only certification that proves strategic knowledge for HR business leaders. Demonstrating your command of talent and business strategy is an increasingly important pre-requisite for advancement.

Community membership is free. Click here to join HCI today.
