Introduction:
The New
World of HR
The C-Suite wants more out of its
Human Resources department. In a
2012 global survey by the Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU) only 38 percent
of CEOs and CFOs saidtheir head of
HR was a key player in their companys
strategic planning. However 80 percent of
the executives arelooking for HR leaders
to make this contribution. So what can HR
do to close this gap?
Its clear HR today is about more
than just transactions. HR leaders are
expected to have a holistic view of the
business and provide valuable insights
to help the company make the right
talent decisions, whether regarding
recruiting, compensation, leadership
development, or succession planning.
But its not a matter of ignoring the
day-to-day to focus on loftier matters.
The successful HR organization needs
to be a combination of operational
efficiency and big-picture planning.

Mark Hurd on How
Data-Driven HR
Decisions Maximize ROI
Business today is conducted in the
language of numbers. Every business
unit in a company is expected to
make and defend decisions based
on data. Crunching numbers can
be an intimidating and unwelcome
prospect to the HR leader, but in this
video from TaleoWorld 2012, Oracle
President Mark Hurd explains how
making those data-driven decisions
is easier than ever with the right
analytical tools. He discusses the key
metrics a CEO expects to see from
the HR team, how they contribute to
the bottom line, and how quicklyand
painlesslythey can be sourced.

CFO Perspectives
Although the CEO certainly thinks
about financial impact, the CFO
eats, sleeps, and breathes numbers.
And with people representing the
most expensive outlay for many
organizations, the relationship
between HR and finance is a critical
one. According to the EIU survey,
most companies have a lot of work to
do in this arena.
15 percent
Only
of HRs time is spent
on strategic activities,
while 71 percent is
still spent on service
delivery, record keeping,
compliance, and internal
management.

Using Business
Intelligence to
Understand Future
Workforce Outcomes
When it comes to business analytics,
most companies have the basics
down pat. They can easily tell you
revenue outcomes for the past
quarter or year, how many new
clients they signed, and which lines
of business were the most profitable.
Thats all necessary information, but
how many businesses operate in a
state of looking backward? When it
comes to analytics, many companies
still struggle to tie their top-level
strategy to daily operations and
identify business outcomes based
on workforce predictions. Predictive
analytics are a standard part of the
consumer experience. Think about
it: how does your favorite bookstore
or entertainment site know which
books or movies you might want to
explore next? How do credit agencies
know whether youre able to handle
a certain loan amount or credit line?
In this Webcast, representatives from
Oracle, Hologic Inc., and Performance
Architects talk about applying those
consumer concepts to the workforce
and using them to predict business
outcomes such as performance

Talent Scarcity:
A New Reality
It seems impossible. The recent
economic downturn and millions of
skilled professionals out of work around
the world should mean talent coffers
are full. Companies should have their
pick of the best and brightest. Yet as
most HR leaders can attest, this is
not the case. Companies are finding it
harder than ever to find and retain the
right talent. How can this be? Shannon
Flinchpaugh, a former recruiter at
some of the United States largest
companies, has some answers. In
this educational Webcast, Shannon
examines the root causes of talent
scarcityranging from unrealistic
expectations and poor hiring to a lack
of internal talent development and
succession planning. He then goes
into solutions, discussing actions
organizations should start taking
today and some of the new tools and
channels that can help.
