HR West Africa - Globalising HR across the African continent

In order for your organisation to build a competitive advantage, as well as contribute to your country's growth, you need to approach HR as a business strategy.

It is time to reposition your organisation's HR function by redesigning the traditional view of HR and functions performed, to a new era of HR professionals who fulfill the strategic roles of business partners.

The 7 fundamental steps to achieving strategic alignment that you will be exposed to at the HR West Africa Conference 2007:
Step 1: An introduction into Strategic Alignment
Step 2: Integrating HR with the business functions
Step 3: Integrating HR into the functional aspects of the business
Step 4: Empowering your HR department as a strategic board member
Step 5: Pro-actively assessing the needs of each line manager on an individual basis
Step 6: Interpreting and understanding HR data in a business context
Step 7: Clearly defining HR standards of functioning in order to obtain business credibility
