Why Do Companies Need a Concise HR Model?
The Human Resources of a company
are a vital asset and thus the management of this key resource should be well
established. A highly committed and capable workforce would bring in a definite
competitive advantage for the organization.
As defined by HR Guru; David
Ulrich,
01. Strategic Partner
The Head of HR of an organization
should play the role of hr business Partner, thus aligning all HR activities
with the business strategy adopted. The HR Partner should effectively engage in
strategic decision-making, representing the human resources of the
organization. He/she should also manage the development of the resources
strategically, inculcating the right culture and image for the business.
To perform the above role, the HR
partner must possess the right sense of direction, business acumen, patience,
fairness, self-discipline, and risk-taking ability.
02. Change Partner
In this highly volatile
environment, there are many changes taking place within the organizations and
it is important to manage the changes, and transitions of the human resources
effectively, due to its high sensitivity and importance for the success of the
business. The HR function should acknowledge the organization’s culture and
adopt changes what is more effective for the company. HR should partner with
all line managers to lead and accommodate changes across the organization, to
make any changes a success.
03. Employee Champion
There should be a significant
level of engagement with the workforce so that the HR Manager would know what
employees need / desire. It is the HR function’s duty to take care of
employees’ interests and protect them. There should be fair and ethical
practices, such as diversity, equal opportunity, safety, etc. across the
organization and HR has to play a vital role in establishing these and building
up employee commitment levels.
04. Administrative Expert
The requirements of the
administrative role may change over time and in recent days, this role demands
HR to provide a high level of service whilst spending the lowest possible
expenses. It is also important to embrace modern HR Information systems
cost-effectively, in providing A hr, services. Compliance with all regulatory
requirements is also a key function of HR, which should be efficiently
administered.
It is equally important to focus
on all the four areas discussed above and often HR Managers tend to focus on
one area where they have their strengths which may be detrimental to the
organization. Thus, the success of the HRM function will depend on its solid
structure and effective model adoption. If the entity is, ‘Human Centric’ and
demands that its valuable workforce should be effectively managed, it would be
key to adopt an HR model, similar to the one discussed above.

HR clearly is not new, however I think that it’s still not well understood or, at least, not well executed. Many HR people still talk about HR being a support function, and there is little understanding of what would be different if we were to truly be a strategic contributor instead. Most HR plans, even when called ‘strategies’ are just lists of activities with little attention paid to the impacts they are going to provide. And in a 2020 business grappling with new people challenges and digital opportunities that is no longer going to be enough.
ReplyDeleteSo strategic HR needs to become more effective and its focus also needs to shift. This is about creating new strategic value through what we do in HR. Not just supporting the business by aligning HR activities with the business, but enabling the business to be more strategically successful by enabling new people and organizational capabilities.
This need for people-centric approaches is not that new either. However, the zeitgeist around this has strengthened considerably over the past few years. Indeed, I would almost argue if we should still think of building HR strategy mainly around the need of our business ?
The conventional aspiration of HR function was focused on administrative and individual functions or individual processing.HRM models were created to meet revolutionary strategic paradigm.Ulrich model influenced people oriented HR with it’s four segments.He recommended to practice the model in large scale businesses and giant organizations.To provide administrative services he proposed,shared service activities should be operated in call centers with internet or supportive technologies.Model improves organizational efficiency by reducing the administrative work and communication with lot of people for every task and allows to focus more on company strategies.Sometimes automation and outsourcing may cause transaction work adding a disadvantage but many large organizations around the world implemented the model over decades.People who didn’t review the model with revisions argue that model could be impractical and insignificant in future.My opinion is if practiced accordingly it’s relevant for today and tomorrow anywhere in the world.
ReplyDeleteWhen talking about human-centric HR, we should consider the human-centered design.
ReplyDeleteHuman-centered design is a creative approach to problem-solving. It’s a process that starts with the people you’re designing for and ends with new solutions that are tailor-made to suit their needs. Human-centered design is all about building a deep empathy with the people you’re designing for; generating tons of ideas; building a bunch of prototypes; sharing what you’ve made with the people you’re designing for; and eventually putting your innovative new solution out in the world.
The most famous Quote from Steve Jobs
“Design is not just what it looks like and how it feels. Design is how it works.”
Philosophy of human centered Design says;
When you understand the people you’re trying to reach—and then design from their perspective—not only will you arrive at unexpected answers, but you’ll come up with ideas that they’ll embrace.
Human-Centered Design majorly consists of three phases.
1. Inspiration Phase- Immerse yourself into the life of people you’re designing for, in order to deeply understand their needs.
2. Ideation Phase- Interpret what you have learnt, Identify solutions and Prototype potential solutions.
3. Implementation Phase- you’ll bring your solution to life, and finally bring it to the market. Keeping the people at the heart of the Design process will ensure Success of the Designed Product.

The modern HR Department cannot exist without a well defined HR Model. The HR Model describes how responsibilities are split between HR units and employees in Human Resources. It defines how key HR tasks will be delivered and who will be accountable for the delivery.

Centric HR will immediately recognize your market and customers before using innovative and productive thinking, to afford bespoke and pragmatic solutions. Centric HR points to develop employee and business performance, increase your bottom line and save you money, whilst improving your customers’ experience.
ReplyDeleteMany organizations strive for success by centering their strategies and operations on their customers first, but some experts and research claim that such an approach won’t allow an organization to reach its full potential, especially if its company culture doesn’t focus on its employees and people first.
ReplyDeleteA people-centric workplace has a culture that focuses on employees and their behaviours first, as well as internal and external customer service interactions, before focusing on profits.
While the advantages of deploying an HR service delivery solution are many, an immediate benefit is the easy and faster access that employees have, to information about themselves. This enables them to work in a hassle-free manner and focus on their core work responsibilities.
