HR Transformation to Build an Elite Workforce

I'm Gianetta Jones, I'm the vice president of human resources for Coca-Cola Bottling Company United. We had a real transformation with growth from 2014 through 2017, we grew about 3.5 times our size due to acquisitions. 

We really are focused on becoming an elite workforce. We had put a lot of our legacy employees through a lot of change, acquired a lot of new employees into our culture, and we knew once we made it through the transitions we needed to step back and assess all of the functional pieces of HR and make sure, are we structured and aligned correctly to our new size. 

Gartner was a great partner to us on talent acquisition, learning and development, talent development and then diversity and inclusion. 

Gartner really helped me with my business case to our CEO and our vice presidents about our new structure for talent via case studies, benchmarking, we'd even role play. They truly were side by side with me on the advisor calls to walk through any challenges in my presentation -- they even reviewed the presentation. 

It was a real value add for myself and my team to partner with Gartner on the best way to approach and sell the C-suite on an entirely new structure for talent acquisition. 

With Gartner we've had some substantial impacts to the business, there's a plethora of data and that has saved us countless hours, and time is money and people want results yesterday. 

It's one-stop-shopping for HR.
