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.

Our agile approach

The HR Accelerator comprises four phases that lead to a prioritised roadmap for HR service delivery across your HR content, processes, technology and organisational structure. The transformation framework enables you to envision a desirable future, co-create the future you envision and provide strategic alignment to support it. The four phases are:

  • Embark

    • Identify people priorities and set project goals. Establish guiding principles for your transformation journey.

  • Discover

    • Evaluate your HR maturity and see where you stand competitively to the market. Interview and survey multiple business and employee groups for feedback on HR services, burning platforms and future priorities.

  • 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.
