The State of the HR Function in Small to Mid-sized Businesses

Much of the management research out there focuses on large organizations. The problem? The recommendations simply don’t apply to HR leaders at small to mid-sized businesses, who strive to have the same kind of impact as their enterprise counterparts but lack similar resources.

  • The skills HR leaders struggle with most and how it’s perceived by senior leadership
  • What consumes most of HR’s day and how they can free up their time
  • How most HR professionals use people analytics and what they could do differently
