Transform the HR function

HR Accelerator gives you a clear vision and an actionable roadmap for your HR transformation.

Quickly transform your HR function, improving efficiency up to 25% while reducing transactional volume and freeing up staff to reinvent HR for the new business landscape.

Is your HR function keeping pace with change? 

Our world of work keeps changing at lightning speed. Accelerated digitisation, skills-based organisations and agile working are just part of our new reality.
These major transformations require a strong HR function that takes an active role and ensures changes are people centred and sustainable. Yet, in reality, up to 60% of HR capacity is still caught up in administration. The current HR service portfolio doesn’t support the future of work. Employee experience is fractured at best, and HR isn’t perceived as an essential function in most organisations.  
Gain a holistic understanding of your current state and a prioritised roadmap for HR execution delivery.

  • Shape

    • Shape your future ideal state across all dimensions of HR strategy (content, process, technology and described-structure). Align with current state to show opportunity gaps.
  • Drive

    • Deliver a roadmap to capture all activities, quick wins and change measures in a comprehensive and prioritised action plan across topics.
