B85 The last 7 years in my company I have seen five different HR Heads

 Why is attrition of HR heads so high?

I was asked this question a while back . My response

Attrition at senior levels across functions happens on account of 4 broad factors
1)The way the role is defined
2) The expectations of the key stakeholders from the role holder & the resultant performance measures
3)The expectations of the role holder and
4)The incumbents skill and ability to handle the role requirements

In your organization one or more of these factors could be at play in the HR function.

You could also be having a situation wherein people practices have a significant impact on the performance of your company including, financial goals .Consequently other functional heads , the CEO and business heads might be having a strong say and their own ways of handling people and processes.

This could result in a lack of coherent approach to people practises. It could also result in the HR head feeling helpless, but having to bear the accountability for people goals .A skilled and persistent professional might adapt to deliver. Another might give up and quit . See how the facts in your company apply .
