3-day Virtual Seminar

From HR Generalist to Valued Partner to the Business

Overview

As an HR professional, your daily responsibilities likely focus on administrative and tactical tasks, resolving employee issues, and managing compliance. While essential, these duties often overshadow the potential for HR to be a strategic driver within the business. Here's the good news: You can transform your role by building strategic partnerships, but how?

In this 90-minute webinar, HR expert and author Gary DePaul will guide you through the transition to becoming a Strategic HR Professional (SHR). Drawing from his upcoming 2025 book Reimagine Strategic HR, Dr. DePaul will introduce the six behavior-sets that successful HR professionals adopt to build powerful strategic relationships.

You'll hear real-world examples of how HR professionals have transformed their roles and learn how you can start making a similar impact regardless of your current position. By understanding the two mindsets and associated behaviors, you'll be equipped to shift from transactional/tactical to strategic and begin positioning yourself as an essential contributor to your company's success.
