The top HR executive reports to the CEO, president or owner in three of five organizations, according to XpertHR's HR Staffing and Resources Survey 2021. In other companies, HR reports to:
|- CFO, 13 percent
- COO, 10 percent
- Senior-level companywide manager, 8 percent
- Senior-level department/division manager, 2 percent
- General counsel, 1 percent
- Board chair, 1 percent
- Other or not sure, 5 percent
