Review of HR Functions & ProcessesDo you have a suspicion that you are not getting the best out of your existing HR function and processes? We have significant experience in understanding business needs and reviewing functions and processes to ensure that they achieve the best outcomes. This can include a radical redesign of HR processes and practices to result in reduced cost, increased efficiencies/effectives and improved customer service. Our reviews help determine what the real HR priorities for the business are and put in place HR functions, processes, people and systems that support business needs. We have project managed on a daily basis a number of large-scale and complex change and reengineering assignments, in organisations that have large numbers of employees and diverse geographical operations. We have fundamentally redesigned the people management processes and Corporate Services processes of organisations, with a strong focus on achieving sustainable results and outcomes, including cost savings. These reengineering assignments have redesigned the full range of people management activities including pay and conditions processing, managing and rewarding high performance linked with organisational objectives, recruitment and selection, enhancing employee skills through innovative learning mechanisms, creating healthy and quality work environments, and developing overall frameworks for people management (covering HR strategy, planning and policy). Organisation Design and DevelopmentDo you need to review your organisation structure or a departmental structure? We have significant experience in reviewing current structures in line with business requirements and designing optimal structures. We understand that effective organisation design is much more that just having the right structure in place and during these exercises we identify other aspects that require to be changed/implemented to get the best out of your people. Specific activities that we can get involved in this area include: üReview of structure in line with strategic direction and business needs üDrafting of job descriptions and skills requirements üHigh level skills assessments üHelping you to ensure that you have the right people in the right jobs performing the right roles üAligning HR practices and business processes/systems to support the new organisation design.
