Transforming HR with Distributed and Pooled HR Models

In the modern business landscape, HR is no longer the sole custodian of employee and organizational information. Employees can actively contribute to the HR ecosystem by embracing new technologies and methodologies, making data management and decision-making processes more efficient and effective. This transformation is driven by two emerging models: Distributed HR and Pooled HR.

Distributed HR: Employees as Active Sensors

In the Distributed HR model, employees play a crucial role in capturing and sharing organizational and personal information. Instead of relying solely on the HR department, employees themselves act as sensors, continuously updating data, suggestions, and observations into central systems. This can be achieved through the following enablers:

• Self-Services for Updating Data: Empower employees with self-service tools to update their personal information, submit feedback, and manage HR-related tasks independently. This ensures data accuracy and reduces the administrative burden on HR teams.
• Employee Interaction Center: Establishing a centralized hub where employees can interact with HR services, ask questions, and provide feedback. This interaction center fosters open communication and helps HR teams gather real-time insights directly from employees.

Pooled HR: A Collaborative and Data-Driven Approach

The traditional HR structure, organized into divisions and departments, is evolving into a Pooled HR model. This approach consolidates HR practitioner roles into a pooled resource supported by advanced analytics and data-driven decision-making. The key enablers for Pooled HR are:

• Active Datafication and Analytics: Leveraging advanced analytics to process HR data and generate actionable insights. By making reports and information accessible to all HR personnel, organizations can reduce dependency on dedicated HR roles and promote a collaborative approach to HR management.
