However, many organisations still find that their HR processes are insufficiently aligned with business objectives, or that managers of HR departments lack the analytical and strategic capability required to support key changes.<\/p>\n<p>According to surveys carried out by leading consulting firms, <b>more than two-thirds <\/b>of CEOs and CHROs acknowledge that<b> their HR department is not yet fully established as a strategic partner to management<\/b>, despite growing expectations for HR to play an active role in shaping the company\u2019s business strategy, growth, and capability transformation. The effective development of the HR function therefore requires <b>diagnostics<\/b>, <b>process<\/b> <b>standardisation<\/b>, <b>digitalisation,<\/b> and the <b>development of HR capabilities <\/b>to connect people, culture, and company strategy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;gray-row top-padding bottom-padding&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;10\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Our Approach<\/h3>\n<p>At Profil, we work with organisations seeking to transform their HR department from a support role to a <b>strategic function in the development of their people and their organisation<\/b>.
