Filling HR Executive Positions: Inside/Outside HR
The recent All-Around HR Players: Knowing It All article discusses a trend towards filling HR executive positions with professionals experienced in other disciplines and departments. This could go a long way towards promoting more of an HR business-based view because these executives bring their broad corporate knowledge to developing HR strategies.
And it may be a good personal move for the executives as well. An ExecuNet survey found HR execs have the highest job satisfaction levels across professions.

Increased internal corporate mobility, a sophisticated business approach, high job satisfaction…maybe this way more VPs of HR will go on to become CEOs!
