While the struggle to gain a seat at the table has for the most part been won, HR directors now need a much deeper understanding of the business to demonstrate their value. MDs and senior executives are looking for HR to provide strategic advice, innovative solutions and recommendations that are backed by facts.

If you are an HR director or lead the people function in your organisation, find out more about the future trends in business strategy at the HR Directors Forum in April, which will run alongside the National HR Summit in Sydney. Kim Garner, Managing Director of FedEx, will be providing a valuable MD’s perspective on how HR directors can be more strategic across business units.

A previous winner of an Australian HR Award for Employer of Choice (>1000), FedEx is recognised globally for its people-first culture. In Garner’s keynote presentation, you will learn what performance measures really matter and how to build trust in your working relationship with the MD and senior management team.
