2020 was an unprecedented year for the world, and no business industry of any type could escape its impacts. 2021 almost feels just as uncertain, but we see glimpses of normalcy on the horizon. As we approach the end of Q1, certain themes and trends are projected to take hold. In an article published by Recruiting Daily, President of WorkSmart Systems, Inc. Matt Thomas laid out six predictions for what would become HR trends in 2021. One of these six predictions was the growing need for fractional executive leadership. What is Fractional Leadership?A fractional executive’s role is to fulfill their management duties while on a flexible or part-time basis. This can range from a few days a week to a monthly basis, as needed by the organization. While the position may not be full time, the experience and decision-making of a traditional executive is still required for success. Depending on the situation of the organization, a fractional executive will have specific, timely priorities, often targeting key performance indicators (KPIs). Serving as an ongoing member of the management team, a fractional executive provides a hands-on approach to move the business forward, both financially and organizationally. Ideally, this position should free up other team members to focus on the areas in which they provide maximum respective value.

A fractional HR Executive gets you:
As Summer Crenshaw, CEO of TalentNow, stated in the article, “The company gets the expertise of execs with less cost and helps prevent burnout for the executive grinding through the same problems daily.
