New hires, payroll and personnel accounting: in a company's early days those are often the main tasks of personnel work. The more established and the larger a company becomes, the more this work should develop into modern people management.
That covers a broad field of tasks: from a strategic direction for people management, through processes and standards, setting up salary structures and strategic people development with its variety of topics such as development paths, leadership development or onboarding, to digitalising the processes. In this way the HR department gradually takes on not only the administrative processes around looking after individual employees, but becomes an important driver of business success.
The company grows: from assistance to a modern HR department
Sooner or later, every growing company faces the challenge of building a separate HR area. Tasks that move from management to the management assistant after the start up phase are classically topics around personnel administration.
As the company continues to grow, they increasingly become fields of people management.
It becomes more extensive still when parts of the people management processes are handed more and more to managers or team leaders, when standards and requirements are given to the organisation and the processes are steered by the HR department. The HR department then takes on the governance role more and more and moves away from administrative topics. To build an HR department that secures high value creation for the company with structured, lean core processes, it is important to introduce professional structures in good time and step by step as the company grows.
The important building blocks for making an HR department fit for the future
Building an independent HR area takes a certain amount of effort, and it is worth it. THE MAK'ED TEAM advises on and accompanies this change with its many years of expertise. The approach involves several steps:
First THE MAK'ED TEAM analyses the current situation and works out measures with those responsible in order to reach the defined goals. Among others, the following topics are in focus during the analysis:
- HR processes in the organisation
- The role of the HR department, today and in future
- The tasks of the HR department
- Future ready structures in the organisation
- The strategic direction of the company
- Strategy related objectives for people management
- The resulting requirements for people management
- The associated tasks and the adjustments over time
The concept THE MAK'ED TEAM works out, with its accompanying implementation plan, shows how the defined measures can be implemented step by step at every relevant level. What matters here are the elements that engage the organisation with its various roles and take people along. The individual requirements of the company are always taken into account.
The aim of setting up the independent HR area in a structured way is a consistent, transparent approach to the company's relevant people management topics. That is the basis for modern personnel work in the company, from which the business, its organisation and its employees will benefit lastingly.
