The March/April cover feature of HR
Professional focuses on HR strategy. It’s

up in projects, deadlines and meetings,
but taking a step back to carefully
assess and plan a strategic course of
action sets a clearer path to success. In
an environment where the HR profession
is ballooning in scope, what should
HR’s strategy include? Turn to the cover
feature, starting on page 18.
