Today’s executives don’t hold HR in very high esteem: according to Deloitte, “42 percent of business leaders believe their HR teams are underperforming or just getting by, compared to the 27 percent who rate HR as excellent or good when assessing HR and talent programs.”
For HR teams, this is demoralizing news. Amid economic ups and downs, a very real skill shortage, the Baby Boomers exodus, and rapidly changing technology (which ERP provider merged with whom, again?), HR teams have their hands full without the specter of a dissatisfied C-suite.
