HR luminary Dave Ulrich on prioritizing guidance

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

In a fraught economy, HR leader Dave Ulrich, Alan Todd and Norm Smallwood argue that instead of talking generically about the latest trends, leaders can prioritize and invest in specific HR initiatives that create, deliver, and capture value.

For instance, pivoting from benchmarking and best practices to guidance creates the potential for long-term gains.

All the best,
