HR Best Practices – Strategic Planning & Culture Improvement

Implementing the Right Practices & Tools for Successful Human Resources

Excellence in human resources policies, procedures and practices – does your firm make the cut? In fact, most human resource professionals know they need to improve and have a general idea of what is needed to do just that. The difficulty lies in organizing and prioritizing the resources, time and energy required to achieving those improvements. Not to mention which HR programs and strategies are most important today – and therefore should be focused upon? – From ‘The Top Best Practices for the High-Impact HR Organization by Stacey Harris.

In most peoples’ minds, the role of human resources usually comes down to efforts focused on the finding, hiring and retaining the best employees possible for an organization. But of course, there’s a lot more to it than that going on behind the scenes; with myriad government and corporate policies to be adhered to, budgetary considerations, company growth strategies to be taken into account and the wide variety and volume of hiring, review, benefits and other forms that need to be processed, accounted for and archived.

So how does an HR department do all of this and still maintain high levels of employee and manager satisfaction? Through strategic planning, talent acquisition and culture improvement initiatives as leveraged through an HR Shared Services model.  – From ‘5 Best Practices for Your 2015 Strategic HR Plan’ by Jessica Miller-Merrill.

Building and maintaining a world-class, global human resources organization, requires the right resources – both human and technological. Implementing the right flexible and scalable technology solution can go a long way towards helping reach the goals of a workable HR strategy. One that both ties into corporate growth requirements; while also enabling the development of a highly satisfying corporate culture for employees. An HR Shared Services solution streamlines the delivery of human resources business processes and services worldwide – efficiently and cost-effectively to boost corporate production, planning and communication.

The components of an HR Shared Services offering are specifically designed to provide the information and processes required to help executives, managers, HR professionals and employees get the information and support they need to be successful. Integrated business and HR modules including Business Process Management, Business Intelligence, Collaborative Case Management and Personalized Knowledge Base, provide the data and analysis required keep HR initiatives flowing smoothly.

While an HR Shared Services Solution can’t make hiring decisions for an organization – having one in place will certainly make it easier on all concerned as a company grows – and those new employees come on board.
