Saying this from my experience. Tie your proposals to pain points that matter to them, like reduced turnover or improved productivity and share simple case studies showing small wins that snowballed into major value. Having some data, even if it’s anecdotal goes a long way.
Human capital is not where the c suite wants to spend money right now. As a human capitalist, I dread what we do today. We’re not “transforming organizations”, we’re the quickest way to a budget cut it many ways.
The trick for me? Constantly show cost savings and sneak your long term strategy in between the cracks.
Demonstrate negative impacts to culture and the connection to costs such as talent flight risks, acquisition time and costs, talent gap requiring expensive contractors, or labor union impacts.
