Finally, the paper devotes time to assessing the optimal career path for aspiring HR professionals eager to involve themselves in the decision-making of the corporation for which they work.

From the Paper:

" There can be little doubt that effective human resources management is critical to the successful implementation of organizational strategy. With this in mind, the following paper will examine the "business case" for having a Human Resources Director report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Organization. Of especial note, the paper will look at the key competencies (business and otherwise) an HR director must have if he or she is to achieve success at this organizational level. Beyond that, the paper will explore the relationship between HR strategies and business strategies and list three examples of specific HR strategies that will permit an organization to achieve its macro-level objectives. From there the paper will assess the consequences of not having HR report to the CEO and answer the question of to whom HR executives most commonly report within mid and large-sized corporations."
