HR Discussion Group – Influence vs Authority in HR

About this event

Join us to discuss how HR navigates the balance between influence and authority in driving key organisational decisions

Join our next discussion group as we explore the pivotal role HR plays in organisational decision-making. HR professionals often find themselves navigating complex challenges where their ability to guide decisions relies more on influence than formal authority.

How can HR teams effectively shape strategies and drive impactful decisions at the executive level?

During this discussion, together we’ll delve into:

• What is the difference between influence and authority?
• How do these dynamics play out in your organisation?
• How can HR build influence to be seen as a strategic partner in decision-making?
• What strategies have you used to gain a "seat at the table" in your organisation’s key decisions?
• How can HR ensure its influence leads to lasting organisational impact - even when direct authority is limited?
