Budget

Your budget is the first thing to consider as you look to the future of your human resources. What do you have the capacity to take on as a company? If your budget is limited, you might consider a fractional or outsourced human resources team. At Culture Works, our clients receive the expertise and experience needed to guide them to success, for the price of one HR employee.

Structure

Your business’ structure is unique to you. In order to build out successful operations, you need to consider what roles fit into this structure. Do you need an HR generalist? Do you need multiple HR specialists? How can you align your human resources roles to meet the needs of your business structure? Hiring an outsourced team can augment your existing human resources department and help to find the right structure for your organization. At Culture Works, we help implement people processes and culture operations into every aspect of your business, in order to create aligned, happy, motivated employees. 

People

There are so many different areas of expertise for human resource professionals. In the world of HR, it has truly become a lost practice to do job analysis and understand what role alignment actually looks like. In order to create success for your organization, you need to consider the structure that works for your unique business. Consider the people you have in your various human resources areas, such as your:

• People operations
• Culture operations
• Learning and Development
• Compliance
• LOA

Having employees who are aligned in their roles within your human resources department is essential to your success as a company. 

“Build your team to support the people running you r business.”

What beefing up your HR team will do to help your business in the long run

Prioritizing your purpose, values, and culture. 

Your company’s purpose, values, and culture are at the core of your company ecosystem. Those who choose to execute with purpose at the forefront of their strategy create a more significant value, greater financial performance, increased employee engagement, and more trust from their customers. What’s extremely important to understand, is that purpose is no longer a choice, it’s a non-negotiable must-do. 

The core reason for being, as well as the intended impact behind your company, is an essential part of your day-to-day operations. Your human resources team helps link the purpose-driven moments in your company’s culture to leadership and employee norms and behaviors that drive all future decision-making. 

One of the major areas of focus for these HR professionals is your talent and recruiting arm. Investing in ensuring you are hiring role-aligned, culture-aligned employees is essential to driving your company’s purpose home. Employees who share passion for your purpose will make up the culture that remains focused on your purpose with far less effort. 

Ensure organization development models are aligned with your purpose.

HR professionals are an essential part of creating an organizational structure that leads to success for your specific business. Whether that means remaining with the old hierarchical structure or moving toward a more flat structure that is built up of smaller teams working to achieve their goals to work toward the greater mission of the organization. 

Your human resources team can also be an integral part of creating a learning culture that ensures employee satisfaction and growth. They can begin implementing a blended-learning journey which includes a few different ways to integrate learning into their day-to-day. This can be executed through traditional learning avenues, including training digital courses, job aids. As well as nontraditional methods, which include peer coaching, learning networks, personalization of change, and ‘nudging techniques.’

At Culture Works, we place a heavy emphasis on role alignment, within our own organization, as well as within our client’s organizations. Our employees are aligned in their expertise to provide the best possible result for your company. We know what we’re doing when it comes to people and culture in your business. Not to mention, we have multiple learning and development programs, as well as compliance experts to ensure your success. 

By strategically beefing up your human resources department either through recruiting the right team members for internal roles, or hiring a fractional human resources team like ours, your company culture and operations can be aligned with your company purpose.  When that happens, efficiency and buy-in are close behind, and productivity soars.  To learn more about the programs and options Culture Works offers, CONTACT US.
