Get your whole HR team lined up behind business priorities

If HR is to deliver maximum impact, then the whole HR team needs to be lined up behind business priorities.

This is harder than it sounds. There are so many different activities within the HR function that pull it in different directions.

Sometimes these can even seem in conflict with each other. For example, it’s important that HR promote consistency across the organisation, and yet they’re also under pressure to adapt to the needs of different client groups.

Centres of Excellence want to deliver leading edge solutions, the users want simplicity and relevance, and the HRBP is stuck in the middle.

As 4x CHRO Asad Husain would say to his team, he never wanted to hear ‘I love my HRBP but not the rest of HR’.

They have to be on the same team, and be seen to be on the same team.

The key principles of the three-legged HR operating model from Dave Ulrich still hold good. As always, it’s the implementation that matters.
