Functional Practices

Boyden’s functional practices include boards of directors and senior human resources positions. The practices are led by senior professionals, each of whom have executive search and prior career experience in the roles they cover.

The functional teams collaborate by sharing market knowledge, industry mapping and remuneration trends, all of which significantly speed up time to completion. Boyden’s professionals offer valuable insight into how functional roles differ in both mature and emerging markets. They are able to access experts at the leading edge of functional capabilities, as well as the expatriate community in fast growth markets.

Within large organizations, functional areas are becoming increasingly complex, requiring leaders with a strong commercial perspective, able to integrate different areas of expertise into a coherent, strategic advantage for the business.

In Human Resources, multiple areas of expertise cover learning and development – a major growth area – compensation, benefits, engagement, productivity, talent acquisition and support for innovation.

In Boards of Directors the focus is still very much on diversity. Multicultural representation is growing and the focus is now on the representation of women – a key strength at Boyden, which is lead by the first female President & CEO in the executive search industry.
