How to build One HR Team

How do you get your HR team united and lined up behind delivering against your organisation’s priorities?

What is the best operating model for the HR function and how do you make it work?

As organisations become more flexible, responsive and customer-driven, so must HR. We have to fight against the tendency for HR to become a separate silo and also unite all our HR talent into one strong team that’s focused on delivering value.

While many have presented different operating models, it’s clear that the Ulrich 3-legged model of Expertise, Business Partnering and Shared Services still makes sense. It hasn’t always been successfully implemented, and sometimes goes off course.

In this one-hour webinar, we:

  • Explore the traps that HR functions can fall into and how to overcome them
  • Open up your thinking and explore together how you can choose how to operate and respond to today’s demands
  • Provide inspiration and ideas on how to bring your HR team/s together and challenge how they can operate as One HR Team.

HR leaders and professionals from every part of HR

In this webinar we:

  • Provide latest thinking about HR operating models
  • Refresh the key principles of the three-legged HR operating model
  • Provoke your thinking on how you want to operate in your role and in your team
  • Explore the reality of the traps that different organisations fall into
  • Give you ideas about how to unite the team around business and stakeholder priorities
  • Provide valuable questions that your HR team can explore in a team event.

This webinar was facilitated by Deborah Wilkes, co-founder of Enable-HR International. Find out more about Deborah.
