HR Leaders and CFOs Connect
Discussion – Economic Trends, Priorities and Budgets
Profiles of today’s CFO show how the role is evolving and raise important questions about talent and leadership development.
Invite a CFO or Finance Director to the meeting!
DallasHR ProLink hosts quarterly networking meetings with CFOs in transition. Designed to enhance leadership connectivity, discussions focus on business challenges facing both Finance and HR, and the CEO's expectations of HR leaders and CFOs in addressing these issues.
Just as the expectation of HR Leaders has changed to be strategic and results-oriented business partners, the expectations of CFOs has also evolved. A CFO is “a strategic, operationally-oriented finance executive who can serve as the business partner to the CEO”. (Heidrick & Struggles)
Join a discussion based on a recent article
The Economy Has Picked Up, But Have HR Budgets?
“A new study suggests the volatility in the economic recovery may still be weighing on HR budgets. Meanwhile, the changing makeup of the business environment is likely to knock down traditional functional borders.”
- Have the priorities of top HR Execs changed in 2013 from 2012?
- With projections of slower growth are companies once again focused on operational efficiencies to maximize profit?
- How do you increase talent capability while HR budgets decrease?
- Are compensation and benefits essentially costs that should sit in the Finance function?
