WHITEPAPER
How to build your HR operating model to support business success
With so much conflicting advice out there, structuring your HR function to best support the goals of the wider business can feel overwhelming.
We like to think of the HR operating model as the building blocks for how you deliver value to your HR customers – i.e. to employees, line mangers and business leaders.
In this guide we’ve put our construction hat on, to review your current setup, explore different HR models, and improve your HR to support your business goals.
You’ve got to try to have your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the business. Be commercially driven, align to the business, be a catalyst [for change] and not always wait to be told.
