“A CFO’s First 100 Days: What Not to Neglect… or it Will Kill You”
In the first 100 days on the job, a new CFO is faced with a myriad of problems – getting the accounting and finance systems in order, understanding the strategic directions of the organization and others. It is important, however, that he or she also understand how best to interact with HR early on to be effective in helping the organization achieve desired business results, including a ROI on human capital.
New ERA
Mercer will discuss what's important in the first 100 days and how to effectively manage. With the endless "to do" list, what must you prioritize and accomplish, or come to meet dark days ahead. · Corporate Governance
· Effectiveness of HR operations
· Expense control : health care and retirement costs; total rewards
· Managing a diverse workforce – productivity, globalization
