The Fractional Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) is responsible for guiding and overseeing recruiting, onboarding, compensation and benefits programs, wellness programs, employee policies, and procedures. They are also critical in building effective performance management and organizational development programs, as well as contributing to an organization's culture.
What does a Chief Human Resource Officer do?
A Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) is one of the crucial resources that every competitive firm needs in order to reach the next level in its development. The multi-faceted, well-experienced and highly competent human capital and development head is responsible for among other things:
- Building a corporate culture, including shared values, beliefs and expectations
- Building employee relations, including a positive general state of morale, policies and procedures, overall climate and tone of the organization, intra-company communication and state of employee-employer relationships.
- Creating employee training and development capabilities and programs.
- Overseeing organizational development, which is an interdisciplinary approach to building and improving the performance and effectiveness of a company or organization. It primarily focuses on people and how they are organized, their roles and skills, how they communicate and interact, and the motivations that help them achieve personally and professionally while reflecting the values of their organization.
- Recruiting and search. Strategic and operational Information Technology talent is in high demand and represents a major recruiting, staffing and executive search challenge for startups and small to mid-size growth companies, in particular.
- Oversight of performance management initiatives. Performance management seeks to keep employees engaged and achieving optimally.
- Strategic oversight of scaling a business. Scaling a business is not focused on adding people with aggressive recruiting efforts or securing new office space, but on building processes, systems, culture, infrastructure and processes to support growth without adding costs.
The CHRO takes the lead on major human capital issues such as recruiting, compensation, employee development, training, policies, and procedures.
