Track C: A Strategic Role for HR. To gain and maintain a seat at the management table, HR must learn to speak the language of finance and to analyze and package data to make a compelling case for action. You must turn data coal into intelligence gold. Learn to frame the questions that spring from analyzing that data into a business context. Our presenters hail from Mercer: Catherine Veinbachs (HR Effectiveness), Holly Collins (Senior Health & Benefits), Bert Kingsley (Retirement), and David Young (Workforce Communication & Change). They will demonstrate the data already available, how to access it, how to determine the issues to address as a business partner, and how to present the data as information that offers valuable insight into your organization. They’ll provide the tools to help you shift the focus from a purely HR perspective to that of a strategic business partner.
