Human Resources has immense power to affect an organization's bottom
line as well as its culture, but it gets a bad rap. In The Way of the
HR Warrior Monica Frede and Keri Ohlrich aim to inspire an HR
revolution.
The Way of the HR Warrior is a guide for HR professionals who really
care to demonstrate the true power of the HR department to influence
business strategy and the bottom line, especially in the changing
landscape of business with a multi-generational and global workforce,
the gig economy, the knowledge economy, the rise of conscious
consumerism, and increasing regulations.
The list of challenges is long, but a common thread impacting the
success every business has is its human capital. When management
empowers their HR department and the HR professionals step up and master
the fundamental competencies of their position, those who work up close
and personal with people in the office can take up their rightful role
as an HR Warrior!
An HR Warrior is courageous, humble, accurate, resilient,
goal-oriented, and exemplary. Alongside the practical advice in the
book, readers will find real-life stories from Ohlrich and Frede about
how they have applied the CHARGE framework in their own careers and
organizations to great effect in their 25 years of experience as HR
leaders working for small organizations, start-ups, and Fortune 500
companies.
Ohlrich and Frede bring a warm, purposeful, heart-centered toughness to
the role of the HR professional that is both instructive and inspiring.
Through their CHARGE framework, they share their tough-love approach to
developing the core skills needed by HR professionals to become HR
Warriors.
In this book, readers will:
See the potential impact they can have on their organizations
Identify ways to align their efforts with their organization's business
goals
Reveal areas for personal growth and professional development using self
and workplace assessment tools
Be inspired by real stories from the front lines of human resources in a
variety of work environments
Witty and brutally honest, this book is for anyone who makes HR their
business.
