As the head of a company, you want to have well supported, highly motivated human resources who can achieve your business objectives. With the current labour shortage, which is affecting many positions and most industries, you need to do everything in your power to stand out when recruiting and retaining top talent and encouraging your employees to rise in the ranks.
Your human resources (HR) executive is an invaluable advisor, no matter the challenges your company is facing. In times of growth, this person oversees employment and recruitment and ensures effective internal change management. Conversely, if you need to reduce staff or close down offices, you can count on your HR executive to advise you on the best strategy. When it comes to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion and preventing harassment in the workplace, your HR executive must propose new ways of doing things to maximize the well-being of employees while considering the interests of the company.
The HR headhunters at PIXCELL are well-versed in the specific challenges of this field. We know that every HR executive must have a solid work ethic and strong communication skills. Our rigorous executive search process includes a detailed analysis of your current company culture.
