HR EXCELLENCE:

CEOs  and Business managers are increasingly seeking out the HR function for partnering with the business in furthering their business agendas, helping them get better performance from their people, better return from investments in people, robust HR products & services for talent management. Employees too, expect far more attention to their needs / expectations from HR professionals.

This situation presents both an opportunity and challenge for the HR function. Expectations from all types of stakeholders have risen; the sophistication and “outcome” challenge of interventions has increased. Further, HR’s relationships with others straddle a very complex web of role equations. At one level, managers and employees are “internal customers” who want their specific expectations and requirements met. At the same time, they are also employees, and expect HR to be concerned about their well-being as persons.
Simultaneously, whilst HR is expected to support individual businesses better, they are also expected to provide solutions keeping the overall organization interest in mind.

Facilitating Design, Development and Implementation of HR Interventions:
Given the pulls and pressures on HR roles, the function needs to focus on the key value added contributions it can make to further the business agenda. We work with HR teams to:

• define the contributions expected of the HR function given the business imperatives
• review the effectiveness of HR’s products and services in terms of their  value addition to achievement of business strategy
• design and implement appropriate interventions aligned to business strategy for greater functional effectiveness

Our approach is to work in partnership with the HR team, share knowledge and experience with the team so that they develop the capability to enhance the effectiveness of their contributions to the business.

Developing Strategic HR Competencies in HR Teams: 
Our program “HR-BRIDGES” is tailored to meet advanced development needs of HR professionals. This modular program addresses perspectives, frameworks and skill enhancement for:

• designing, gaining support, and executing HR and Organization Development interventions
• relationship building, partnering others, influencing and impacting human process orientations in organizations

We work closely with HR leaders and their teams to identify ways of implementing interventions more effectively, including ‘on-line’ interactions / coaching during planning, gaining stakeholder commitment and ownership, roll-out effectiveness and review.
