94% of businesses we surveyed plan to change or transform their HR or Recruitment functions this year. Here are our 3 top tips to make transformation a success in your business. 1. Build a compelling business case for change. Identify the key drivers, the results you want to achieve and how you will measure the impact. Ensure it aligns with, and supports, the wider business strategy - this will help to gain support from your peers. 2. Always keep candidate, employee and client experiences front and centre during any change or transformation. People are your most important asset, so whilst you might be looking to streamline processes and reduce costs, consider how you can do this whilst freeing up your teams to spend more time on delivering an exceptional experience to protect your employer brand and retention rates. 3. Don’t go it alone. Consider utilising external partners to support you. Harness the expertise and additional capacity you need to ensure success.
