Parks leadership wants a wellness fair billed as this year's signature HR initiative. The adopted parks strategic plan is silent on the fair and is focused on trail safety and weekend coverage. What should the CHRO do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If nobody can point to a line in the plan, it is not an HR strategy — it is a picnic. Trail safety and weekend coverage are the parks goals on paper. Ask for the tether, and if there is none, kill the fair.
Full Explanation
HR initiatives without a strategic-plan tether are not aligned HR strategy. A wellness fair may be pleasant, but parks strategy in this case is trail safety and weekend coverage. The CHRO's screen is whether the initiative advances a plan goal; if it does not, it is dropped. Relabeling the sponsor or expanding the event does not create that tether.
