Chief executives and HR directors: The special relationship

For this special extended feature, we interviewed three CEO/HRD pairings about how they work together. Each person was interviewed separately to avoid them influencing each other’s answers.

What emerges are three fascinating and unique relationships – but with a common theme. For each company, the past few years have been very challenging. Each chief executive and HR director pair has gone into the fire together and come out on the other side as a real partnership based on mutual trust and respect.
