Strategic HR Peer Group
Take your HR development to the next level

  
 

Our 2013 peer group is now underway with over 20 members! While it's too late to apply for our 2013 program, please let us know if you'd like to receive information about our 2014 program.

To succeed in today’s evolving business environment, human resource and talent management professionals must stretch themselves in ways they never have before. It’s not enough to simply administer policies and process paperwork (no matter how effectively). Instead, HR and talent management leaders must clearly understand business objectives, assess organizational needs and capabilities, tie talent management programs to strategic outcomes, and serve as trusted advisers to top executives and line managers alike.

Even experienced HR and talent management professionals benefit from guidance and support as they work to meet these challenging expectations. To help, FlashPoint offers a yearlong HR peer group. During monthly sessions we focus on essential competencies that forward-thinking HR and talent management leaders must master, offering expertise, facilitating application exercises, and leading group discussions to promote learning and growth.

As a participant in peer group you will:

  • Develop or refine important strategic competencies that can improve your personal performance and the success of your business
  • Learn how to innovate your HR programs and fully integrate them so you achieve organizational objectives
  • Advance your critical-thinking abilities so you can better assess and understand the environment in which you operate and shape your talent management approach accordingly
  • Build a network of like-minded colleagues who will provide insight and help you work through your challenges—both during the peer group experience and beyond. (We’ll team you with participants of similar background and experience to enhance collaboration.)

As part of the peer group experience you will receive:

  • A two-hour working session each month with up to 20 of your peers; an experienced FlashPoint facilitator will lead each session
  • A resource kit with topics, worksheets, articles, HR tips and tools, and more
  • A 360-degree HR competency assessment that will help you measure the influence you have with key constituents across the organization; we’ll use the assessment results throughout the program to check on progress
  • The opportunity to participate in the peer group alumni program (100 members strong) after you graduate from the program
  • Up to 15 strategic recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR, and GPHR recertification, plus an additional 3.5 credits for completing the 360-degree assessment

What former participants say:

“Peer group has helped change my mindset from focusing on the tactical items to working toward the strategic items. My thinking has shifted, and I notice this making the biggest different in my contributions back to my organization and in my role.”

“Peer group helped me see HR from a more strategic viewpoint and not just a paper-pushing position. In addition, it provided a great forum to discuss current HR issues and gain outside viewpoints on how to go about getting to resolutions.”

“Peer group was a breath of fresh air. Each meeting I learned something that I could take back to my organization. The caliber of professionals who participated was top-notch.”

FlashPoint’s strategic HR peer group is built around and incorporates materials from the Human Resource Competency Study (HRCS). For the past twenty-five years the HRCS has answered the question: What knowledge and abilities are necessary for successful HR professionals? Led by Professors Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank, the RBL Group, and the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, with the assistance of global research partners, the HRCS is the largest global study on HR competencies. The latest study results, issued this year, focus on the following six competencies that will help shape the future of HR and further define the contributions that HR makes to business success.

  • Strategic Positioner
  • HR Innovator and Integrator
  • Change Champion
  • Technology Proponent
  • Capability Builder
  • Credible Activist

To learn more about the HRCS and the competencies that we’ll focus on in peer group, visit the RBL Group’s website.

This program has been approved for 15 strategic recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR, and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute. For more information about certification or recertification, please visit the HR Certification Institute website at www.hrci.org.

The use of this seal is not an endorsement by the HR Certification Institute of the quality of the program. It means that this program has met the HR Certification Institute’s criteria to be pre-approved for recertification credit.
