Four Groups

There is some more positive feedback on the Commercial Added Value HR Association. Jerry Hayter at Xecutive Search further endorses the position adopted by Neil Griffin in his letter (see the bottom of the page).

It is very sad to see the CIPD doesn’t seem to engage with the most senior, and most influential people in the profession. It’s even sadder to see that the headlines in the personnel media are still full of features bemoaning that HR isn’t aligned to business goals.

I remember reading something very similar in the personnel press when I joined the profession 15 years ago. We should ask ourselves: why hasn’t the profession yet made enough impact on business under the sole stewardship of the CIPD after so long?

Not to make the CIPD a target, but I think these sentiments are very well made and echo many comments we hear in conversations with our own clients.
