  • 5 HR Strategy Skills For Business Success

    16 Feb 2022
    • admin
    Share

    The HR function has been traditionally perceived to be an administrative function. The career path of a HR professional thus has had a plateau effect and the practitioner often reaches a situation that impedes his further growth in the management cadre. Is it really the end of the road or does the HR function offer scope to evolve to a strategic role, one that contributes to business success? Administrative roles like hiring, compensation, labour conflict resolution etc. notwithstanding, the HR function in recent times is undergoing an evolution. It is essential to move beyond the traditional mindset and start looking at the fact that, among other things, HR is playing a major role in developing a company’s strategy besides employee-centric roles in an organization. Ensuring that employees are engaged is key to organizational success, its long term survival and growth. Recent experiences have shown that HR professionals are contributing to organizational growth through strategic contributions.

    5 HR Strategy Skills For Business Success

    The contribution of HR strategy to organizational objectives and business success requires a radical change in management thinking, one that looks at a thorough understanding of functional processes of HR and how they can function and contribute to a business that functions in an ecosystem.

    The concept of human capital is also becoming increasingly vital to organizational success. While the traditional school of thought is of the view that business success is determined by sales and marketing, the matter of fact is that they are driven by humans who require to be engaged. This leads to a situation where an organization’s single largest and most important asset is its employees. Their contribution can propel the business to new heights.

    Business Success & HR

    Management professionals and business organizations often tend to measure business success through the lens of sales thereby disregarding the concept of its core values. It is proven that a successful HR strategy is the cornerstone of a successful organization. Undoubtedly, HR practices that are robust can lead to higher business success. Success in this context should and need not be viewed as merely short term revenue figures, but long term synergy and value creation for all stakeholders in the economic ecosystem.

    A proper understanding as to how HR strategies can be converted to tangible business value needs solid foundational HR skills and more importantly a clear definition of performance parameters to track the results. Corporate objectives and strategy need to be assessed, and a long term vision needs to be defined to start with.

    Only then, organisations can identify choices to deliver HR services and solutions. A people’s first approach is one of the major factors that help in defining effective and efficient solutions.

    Undoubtedly, it is a difficult task to determine the exact contribution of the HR function to achieve predefined business objectives in the absence of quantifiable factors. Some of the ways to quantify the impact of HR are –

    • Identify key KPIs to track the return on investment in HR.
    • Align corporate strategy, HR priorities and KPIs for HR and employees.
    • Implementing HR Scorecard to the impact of HR, value and costs to measure the contribution of HR to the overall performance of an organisation. The scorecard correlates KPIs with HR investment and competencies.

    In successful organizations the HR scorecard is an important tool to manage and measure the contribution of HR as a strategic asset to business success.

    5 HR Strategy Skills For Business Success

    As HR continues its evolution and looks to make a greater strategic contribution to the organisation, here are some skills that could help.

    1. Building And Fostering Organizational Culture – Organizational culture refers to a conglomeration of values, values, expectations, and practices that form the guiding path for all personnel. Organizational culture impacts the wider universe and in turn leads to how people perceive the organization and the quality of employees it attracts. A great organizational culture helps in attracting the best talent besides reducing employee turnover. Effective implementation of this strategy should be done at all levels by fostering a feeling of importance and rewarding its reflection amongst the workforce.
    2. Active Participation In Business Planning – Another crucial strategic process that should interest the HR professional is growth planning. Execution of HR plans around strategies is critical to business success. Having a growth mindset is a critical strategy for long term vision and survival of business. Sub-strategic contributions can be made in areas of recruitment planning, conflict planning, training, project planning etc. Mission success depends on a strategic HR role and contribution in a major way and getting involved in business planning can help mitigate issues that may arise in future.
    3. Developing And Tracking Performance Management Systems – This is also a key strategic responsibility for a HR professional. Avoiding role mismatch, reducing employee dissatisfaction, addressing below par performance, etc., lead to situations that are detrimental to long term business success. As such, this strategy is key to improving employee morale and. ensuring high performance standards. Measuring deliverables are crucial to identification of their strengths and weaknesses and can lead to a demoralised workforce thereby affecting business performance.

      Part of how you monitor an individual’s growth in the company is tracking their performance, measuring it against certain key performance indicators, and identifying their strengths and opportunities for improvement.

    4. Training And Development – Employee satisfaction is partly aspirational and partly performance driven. A strategy that could help in business success is to identify and assess skills and gap areas that need to be filled for their efficient performance. Whether onboarding new employees or working on upgrading existing ones, this often neglected strategy has the potential to have a direct spinoff in business performance and success.

      This strategy requires assessments to determine the areas for improving employee skills and qualifications and then align them with appropriate training and development programs. An ongoing program is vital for a company to maintain a world-class workforce and thereby ensure business success.

    5. Effective Communication –  HR professionals are the interface between the management leaders and workforce. More often than not, they also interact with a host of external stakeholders and contacts. Besides, the connection with the human capital can only be achieved through empathy and two way communication. Feedback and listening gives HR professionals an opportunity to better understand employees aspirations and can affect business performance in a major way. Effective two way communication can help solve problems and successfully help manage the workforce. This strategy can be beneficial to organizational harmony, lead to employee satisfaction and growth in the long run.
    Conclusion

    The HR vision is more strategic than administrative and is an ongoing process. In dynamic environments, strategies undergo periodic review and change. The HR function is a key business partner in organizational strategy and can play a major role in managing transition. The time has come to view HR as a contributor to business success.
