Why should HR report to the CEO and not to Finance or Operations?

One of our Regional Directors, Stuart Calvert, explains why HR should report directly to the CEO.

Stuart:

HR Directors sit on the board and that’s where they should be. Their focus is around the entirety of the organisation and they have to have a holistic view of what the organisation is all about. Sitting on the board and reporting to the CEO gives them that opportunity to really make a difference to the organisation.

By reporting through another function there’s always a dilution of the message. Sitting at board level, speaking directly to the CEO, being that trusted partner and advisor is a really important part of the HR Director role.
