HR Transformation

A common expression in the HR field and one that is significantly misused. In many organisations HR is seen as the administrative department that inhibits the organisation’s creativity. Embarking upon a true HR transformation requires the redesign of how HR operates, taking it from the functional role to a strategic partner within the business. This requires the redesign of HR processes to make access to HR services more accessible and provide a greater user experience. Critically, HR transformation is about enabling technology and HR related data to support the wider business in strategic decision making. Whilst an ambitious project the key to success is robust design and outstanding change management practices. LemanHRM has extensive experience in HR transformation and can partner you through to a successful transformation journey.

Organisational Culture

Many companies today struggle with the divide of generations within the workforce and the leadership styles often linked to those generations. The workplace of today and the future needs to provide more than just a job with a regular income. Employee engagement requires organisations to think beyond the profit and loss statement and invest in not only the business, but the communities in which we work. Companies with high employee engagement are statistically more successful, retain high performing talent and enjoy higher returns. The LemanHRM team can guide you on designing and implementing a culture and leadership model for your organisation that allows the company to benefit from high employee engagement that produces positive returns across all elements of the business.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Is your organisation planning a merger or acquisition? These activities can be highly disruptive and evidence suggests that 80% of these activities do not realise their full potential due to the lack of alignment of the employees of either organisation. A robust internal change management program is the key to success, to ensure the workforce aligns to the changing nature of the future organisation, transitions to their new roles and responsibilities and difficult decisions are made with fairness, openness and transparency. LemanHRM can support your organisation with the internal transition a merger or acquisition can place upon your workforce.

Change Management

This truly is the jewel in the crown of good HR. The slowest pace of change is the pace we experience today, business strategies evolve rapidly, mergers and acquisitions occur, strategic imperatives come quickly. The most common cause for change failure is the lack of change management that does not engage the people within the organisation. Companies are typically good at communicating change to the customer base or the external market place but often overlook the need for internal change management. Implementing robust communication and interactive change strategies with your workforce to ensure understanding, agreement and engagement to ensure success. This is particularly critical in times of crisis, changing market economics, significant organisational disruption and change of strategic direction. Allow the LemanHRM team to guide you through significant change events to ensure consistent and on-going engagement of your teams to ensure change success.

Compensation and Benefit Design

A critical component of any strong HR function. Being sure you are providing a salary, benefit and incentive package to your employees that is aligned to your revenue and profitability, attracts the best talent and rewards your highest performers is critical to any organisation’s success. Many companies take a one size fits all to C&B, by shifting focus to designing reward systems that match the individuals personal circumstances and encompass the various stages of an individual’s career, culture and generation will allow your organisation to become “THE” employer of choice in your industry. Talk to us about the latest trends in compensation and benefits and how a review of this part of your HR function can have significant impact on your company’s performance.

Performance and Succession Management

You will have likely heard a lot about the impact of performance management systems, often referred to as the annual review; are they effective or another HR tick the box exercise? People respond differently to feedback and have different perceptions of leadership and leadership style. Educating leadership on a variety of approaches to managing both positive and negative performance can have significant impact on employee engagement. Importantly, identifying high and low performers and creating your succession pathways is key to long term organisational sustainability. Contact us to discuss innovative approaches to performance management that are aligned to your current leadership, organisational values and long term planning practices. We can also support your performance management aspirations that suit your organisational values from process design through to the creation of personalised development plans for your current and future leaders.

HR Law and Industrial Relations

An ever changing landscape and difficult for companies to navigate especially when operating across borders. LemanHRM can support you in staying up to date with labour law and social law requirements in the markets in which you operate. However, many industrial relation issues are generated by the organisation through “making the right decision but doing it the wrong way” resulting in a procedural legal issue or a disgruntled employee looking to claim retribution. Ensuring your HR function and leaders across your business are up to do date with labour laws but critically having a fair HR process in which both leaders and HR professionals handle internal disputes and grievances in a timely, fair and sensitive manner is key to resolving issues before they become legal matters. At LemanHRM we have the expertise to keep you up to date and help you avoid HR related legal issues.
