Interaction Associates

Business demands that HR leaders define and deliver a focused HR strategy, aligned with corporate business objectives. As HR organizations outsource traditional, transactional functions and seek to become strategic business units, an opportunity emerges — to fundamentally change the HR group's identity. This includes the way HR operates and is perceived, and its impact on the organization's performance.

We help HR organizations transform themselves to meet the challenges of today and the future. Our clients come to us with many of these "pain points":

• HR is not viewed strategically
• Leaders don't view HR as a strategic partner
• HR's role as change catalyst is overlooked
• Transactional functions are outsourced increasingly
• The company lacks clear HR strategy

Our approach

Transforming the HR organization from tactical and transaction-oriented to strategic and high-value isn't easy. As you face these shifts, you need a new set of skills and competencies. We work with HR organizations in large companies to:

• Agree on the future vision, mission, and goals of the HR group
• Align everyone around these new objectives
• Assess what skills they will need to be successful in the future
• Equip them with those skills via a robust learning process

We help HR leaders to think through and develop ways to deliver effective strategies for human capital management, including talent acquisition, retention and development, and workforce planning, as well as ensuring succession and leadership bench strength.

We excel at partnering with the multiple stakeholders, including HR, line clients, and external partners. Our collaborative approach produces greater organizational alignment and buy-in for the current change. And it increases internal capability for leading future changes.
