HUMAN RESOURCES EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS
The
HR function today like all others needs to demonstrate its value-add
in the business unit it is a part of. With this objective in mind
S&S help clients measure the effectiveness of their HR Functions.
Using Industry knowledge, interviews, and survey data, S&S
study the complex interaction between the HR System and other
essential components of the organization. The key issues addressed
are:
1. How do the external environment factors influence HR
system emergence and design in the rapidly evolving
organization;
2. What changes occur in HR system design as the organization
passes through various stages
of the life cycle; and
3. How do individual employees experience and respond to
the HR polices and practices that
mediate their relationship with the employing organization?
We
provide first a description of the firm and its external environment
with particular emphasis on the accelerated rate of change, identify
the primary lessons learned about the influence of environmental
contingencies on HR system design and suggest avenues for investigation.
An HR effectiveness audit would be conducted if necessary to assess
the gaps in HR's and line management's views on the importance
and effectiveness of HR services, along with recommendations for
improvement.
d)
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (PMS)
|
S&S
design robust PMS for clients which:
• Link
employee goals with the company's strategic & operating
plans.
• Improve
individual performance.
• Ensure
fair & accurate performance appraisals leading to establishment
of training & development needs of the employees &
a fair & equitable Employee Rewards System.
Key elements of
the system are :
|
|
• Clearly
defined expectations through goals which are significant &
measurable Performance
Standards - Things which managers do on an ongoing basis such
as Planning & Organizing, Communicating, Acquiring
& Applying Technical Knowledge & Skills, Decision
Making & the like to achieve their objectives.
• Periodic
& formal reviews on progress towards established expectations.
• A
written performance appraisal summarizing an employee's overall
performance during the review period & a development
plan for improving performance.
Some Performance
Appraisals Systems do succeed in establishing measurable goals
for employees, most of these have not been able to establish ways
& means to objectively assess levels of achievement for Performance
Standards. S&S Associates' PMS, on the other hand, can provide
clear & objective 'Behavioral Anchors' for each level of performance
in respect of all Performance Standards.
e)
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Retaining
and motivating high performers ranks among the top priorities
in today's competitive world. S&S design Compensation strategies
which help our clients align existing pay programmes to reinforce
competitiveness and internal equity across their businesses. Tools
such as Compensation surveys and Market Pricing techniques are
used towards this end.
