There can be no doubt now that the public sector is going to have to find significant savings over the coming years. HR will have to both play its part in facilitating that process but also find its own new ways of working. This may not be painless but, as many are recognising, a crisis can often also be an opportunity to go back to first principles and make more radical changes to ensure that the service is truly fit for purpose.

This paper argues that, in addition to the traditional HR knowledge and skills, high performing senior HR staff need the right mindset, attitudes and beliefs. Those with the right personal characteristics will add significant value to their organisations and will be given the respect and status that they desire.
