We want to create a new narrative about the human resource (HR) profession.
HR professionals have often been plagued with self-doubts, repeatedly
re-exploring HR’s role, value, and competencies. If HR is to fully (and fi nally)
become a profession, these self-doubts need to be replaced with informed
insights. These informed insights should be based more on global data than
personal perceptions so that the emerging narrative for the HR profession
has both substance and meaning.
