Chief human resources officer

The HR director aligns human capacity with strategy: organisation, skills to be built, reward policy, employee relations and transformation. An executive committee function, with deferred and lasting effect.

Preparing the company of three years from now

The function works on a horizon few other directorships share. It projects skill needs from strategy, builds the paths that will produce them, and prepares succession for critical roles. It defines reward policy, which commits economic balance for the long run. It leads employee relations, particularly during transformations where the quality of dialogue decides the speed of execution. It sits on the executive committee and carries the organisation itself.
