Human Resource Development
Today’s economy demands that recruiting, supporting, and retaining your employees and executives and pursuing your company’s strategy become two sides of the same coin – but this ambitious goal requires specialist instruments and processes, tailor-made to fit the goals of your company. The first step in any strategic staff development effort is the definition of the competencies required by your strategy. All relevant instruments and processes need to be coordinated with your strategic needs in order to ensure the best possible level of transparency and focused support for employees and executives alike. This includes a conceptual design and actual measures that accompany the employee through his or her entire lifecycle at the company. In its fully fledged form, strategic staff development with a focus on the employee’s perspective can thus be presented as a reflection of this lifecycle: from HR marketing – recruitment – on-boarding – appraisal – development – to the eventual parting of ways. Using a holistic model of competence and specific requirements profiles, this staff development strategy is supported by HR IT, HR controlling, and a designated set of indicators.
The key objectives are:
- Developing and refocusing your executives and employees in the pursuit of your company’s strategy and goals, and
- Focusing on their input in value creation at your company.
Staff development concepts and instruments grounded in the corporate strategy are designed to realign processes and systems across the entire organization. HR and staff development strategies form an integrated whole, and the commercial value offered by staff development is managed and monitored through the use of suitable indicators.
Using strategic competence management as the starting point, strategic staff development can furnish you with medium- to long-term staff development processes and instruments, such as performance, qualification, and talent management, as a crucial element in the holistic context of the overall strategy.
