Top management perspective

“The human resource professional in

an organisation needs to be an integral part of the leadership and

the ‘right hand’ of the chief executive. Establishing and sustaining an ethical ethos, the HR professional must work closely with the executive

leadership team to define and promote the culture of an

organisation based on the underlying values and then entrench the culture

through all the touch points in the human capital value chain.”

Edward Kieswetter, CEO: Alexander Forbes

HR excellence: It is all about alignment
