The Critical Human
Over the past 30 years, i4cp has tracked the issues that human resource professionals consider critical for the year ahead.
Critical issues are defined as those that show the greatest discrepancy between what organizations consider important and what they report being able to manage effectively.
Organizations of all sizes share many of the same critical issues, but that begins to vary more when market performance is added to the mix. High-performance organizations of all sizes share many of the same top concerns. Several of the top ten issues of 2011 are perennial favorites that tend to bounce up and down the top rankings but never move far or fall off the list. What is more insightful is the difference between what’s critical for higher performers and lower performers.
