WHY THIS ROLE IS HARD TO HIRE

  • Experienced Organizational Development VPs who have led enterprise transformation and capability initiatives can be difficult for employers to identify.
  • Employers must distinguish strategic organizational development leaders from professionals whose experience is primarily focused on training or HR program delivery.
  • Finding leaders who combine organizational effectiveness, leadership development, change management, culture, and workforce analytics can extend executive search timelines.
