We recently conducted a market research study on bridging the gap between the CFO and the Chief Talent Officer, finding a clear need for more consistent collaboration between Finance and HR, specifically with the emerging role of Chief Talent Officer (CTO) as the next vanguard of corporate governance. Major conclusions were: 1. Human Resources Must Take a More Strategic Role in the Business 2. Employee Recognition Drives Engagement and Therefore Impacts Recognition, Retention, Productivity and the Bottom Line 3. Creating a Universal Recognition Platform for Global Companies Is Difficult 4. CFOs Are Not Aware of How Much They Are Spending on Employee Recognition Programs 5. The CTO and the CFO Must Work Together to Chart the Course for the Future More details on the findings are here: http://globoforce.blogspot.com/2008/06/bridging-gap-between-finance-and-talent.html Interesting take that Talent Officers will come from somewhere other than HR.

Perhaps this article will be yet another wake up call for HR professionals open our HR minds and eyes and see the future!

For want of seeing Chief Talent Officer's work product, strategy, and prevalence in the marketplace, I did a quick check on my favorite social network and found 239 individuals titled as "Chief Talent Officers." Oh to see some of their emerging practices documented and showcased...that would be of value to us all. Its time for some linking in. “Influence management” contacts influential?
