What the C-Suite still misunderstands about HR & 7 ways to close the gap

HR has evolved far beyond an administrative function, playing an increasingly important role in talent, culture, and business performance. Yet a significant disconnect remains between how HR leaders see their role and how the C-suite views HR’s strategic value.

Based on a survey of 150 HR leaders and 200 C-suite executives, this report from Insperity and HR Dive’s Studio by Informa TechTarget explores where those perceptions diverge and what HR leaders can do to close the gap. While 83% of HR leaders and 87% of executives agree that HR influences profitability, only 14% of executives currently view HR as a strategic growth partner.

Discover seven practical ways to strengthen HR’s strategic influence, including aligning HR initiatives with business goals, improving talent and succession planning, using AI to create capacity, leveraging data and measurable KPIs, strengthening compliance, and optimizing the HR technology stack.

Download the report to uncover the gaps between HR and the C-suite—and learn how HR leaders can turn those challenges into opportunities to drive greater business impact and growth.
