What does an HR Effectiveness review involve?
The review focuses on people productivity and capability as well as the effectiveness of the HR Function itself, using a methodology that directly identifies the connections between organisational performance and its people related activities. Our approach consists of the following stages:
When would a review be appropriate?
- With the appointment of a new HR Director who quickly needs to understand the current HR and business priorities and make an impact
- After a merger, acquisition, restructuring or other corporate activity has taken place
- When HR priorities are unclear and do not tie into business strategy
- During a period of change when the role of HR is unclear
- If the HR function is under pressure to reduce costs and demonstrate added value
- When anecdotal feedback suggests poor service quality and inefficient HR processes, but there is a lack of hard evidence
- When outsourcing of all or some HR processes is being considered
- When considering transforming the HR function
