DIGITAL HR STRATEGY

6 STEPS TO SUCCESS

In our post pandemic, disrupted, digital world, the pace of change is faster than ever before. Our people are our number one asset, and delivering value to our end customers must be our ultimate business goal - because if we don’t deliver our competitors will. To succeed in this environment our HR practices must evolve.

Digitalising HR is a business differentiator. A digital strategy and mindset enables us to deliver efficiencies, excellent employee experiences and exceptional business outcomes – becoming a strategic, value adding function.

But what does digital transformation actually mean for HR Leaders and functions? For me, digitalising is a mindset - a way of thinking and working. Creating streamlined, thoughtful, cohesive digital solutions with the human touch and the employee experience at the core.

However, this is not about the technology alone, it’s about taking a holistic approach – it’s the mindset, combined with the technology, that’s when the real magic happens. Technology then becomes the enabler. When blended with a focus on value, people centricity and organisational collaboration, this helps us deliver exceptional results and realise our potential as a function, providing a competitive advantage for our organisations.

If you’re looking to shape the next steps in your digital HR transformation journey, these six steps will help you build your path to success.

1. From Disconnected HR to One HR

A strategic, synchronised HR function operating as one to simplify, digitalise and innovate end to end, with our people and their experiences at the core.

2. Business Value First

Success must be defined by the value delivered to our people, business and customers, and the return on investment for our organisations.

3. Employee Experience Above All

Making the shift from focusing on HR process to focusing on the employee experience helps us deliver efficiencies, increased engagement and productivity.

4. A Networked Organisation

Create organisations that operate as interactive networks with cross functional collaboration, optimising diversity of technical expertise, experience and thought.

5. A Culture of Digital Adoption

The best digital solutions are those that add value and therefore get used. Designing with our people, not for them helps us realise this outcome.

6. Data and Insight Driven

Use data, insights and the voice of your people to track progress and shape your path to success as your business, and the world around you evolves.

Utilise these six steps to harness the power of digital and get your technology working hard for you, delivering exceptional outcomes for your people, business and customers.
