At Learning Technologies 2017, we spoke to Geoffroy De Lestrange, Product Marketing Manager EMEA at Cornerstone OnDemand, about HR’s evolving role in the business. Often we hear HR positioning themselves as business partners. Geoffroy argues that in fact HR is the business, not the partner, and there needs to be a change in how this role is perceived.

Cornerstone and IDC conducted research in 2016 which showed that over one in four (41%) of European line managers find HR processes a major source of management frustration. Whilst a key objective for most HR professionals is to make processes lean, it’s important to focus on objectives that have a positive impact on business success.
