Instead of thinking of Human Resources as a kind of upgraded personnel department it can be thought of as an analogue to marketing. Just as the Chief Marketing Officer curates an experience to get the best lifetime value from customers, the head of HR can curate an experience to get the best lifetime value from employees.
This book explores this new model and titles its leader as ‘The CMO of People.’ This new title encapsulates a business focused people function that has learned from the proven tools of the marketing function. The CMO of People creates a predictable and immersive employee experience that drives productivity and performance. In this pathbreaking book, Peter Navin and David Creelman discuss
- How to create a predictable and immersive end-to-end experience for employees
- How a CMO of People can overcome barriers and drive performance
- Why we need to structure the HR department differently
- How to find unconventional people to staff this unconventional model
