Beyond best practice: enhancing results with bespoke HR

 

Click here to download the the new 'Beyond best practice: enhancing results with bespoke HR' paper from our original HR insight series (brief registration required).

In this paper, ETS looks at how HR professionals typically replicate 'best practice' processes, based on accepted industry thinking when tasked with implementing a new HR solution. We then show how they could be more successful if they shape and deploy bespoke HR practices and technology that are the 'best fit' for their organisations.

The need for using a bespoke HR approach extends across all human resources functions, but in this paper, we look specifically at how companies can benefit strategically by taking a best fit approach to: performance management, 360-degree feedback and employee engagement surveys.

• We explain how applying bespoke HR will result in HR departments getting more value from every initiative.
• We demonstrate why best practice may actually be worst for your company.
• We show how best fit solutions build competitive advantage by creating new solutions, building as needed on what's worked elsewhere.
• We break down exactly how HR practitioners should apply their own best fit approach, by balancing business and HR goals, best practice and the company culture and processes.
• We present some client case study examples of HR practice and technology that employ bespoke HR principles.

In short, this paper outlines a practical overview of why and how HR departments should create distinctive and more successful initiatives.

These bespoke HR processes and solutions are more likely to succeed and produce higher returns than those based on a narrow view of best practice. We hope this will give your HR practice and your company a distinct competitive advantage.
