AGILE HR 

6 STEPS TO GET STARTED
Untitled.jpg

Agile is one of the hottest topics in HR. Every organisation seems to have it on the agenda, and if the pandemic has taught us anything in business, it’s the criticality of agility. But what does Agile actually mean for HR leaders and functions, and if you’re just beginning your Agile HR journey where do you even start?
 

Here’s what Agile means to me: at the very core Agile helps us deliver more value to our people, businesses and customers with less work from our teams, enabling us to re-invest our critical resources into value-adding activity.
 

Here are six easily understandable steps utilising some of the core concepts of Agile that you can use in your organisations to start realising the benefits. No new methodologies or frameworks to learn, no courses to attend and no jargon:

1. Enablement and Empowerment

Creating an environment of enablement and empowerment optimises flexibility, creativity and productivity, helping our people to do their very best work.

2. From Process to Experience

Instead of focusing of what we need to get done, re-design based on the employee experience to speed up performance and results.

3. Lead With Simplicity

Successful transformation is as much about removing what we don’t need as creating what we do need. If it’s not adding value, it’s got to go.

4. Cross Functional Collaboration

We’re greater than the sum of our parts. Build cross functional collaboration and play on the same team to maximise resources and shape the best solutions.

5. Design With Your People

Bring your people into the design process to co-create streamlined, effective, compliant solutions that are easy to use, with strong adoption.

6. Deliver Early and Often

Releasing improvements in stages and using the voice of your people to continually review progress, helps us to deliver results quickly and frequently.

Harnessing the power of Agile can actually be very straightforward. You don’t need to put it off until next year, wait until you have more time, capacity or budget. The perfect time will never arrive and in fact, the best time to begin is right now.
