Digital HR
First things first. As a rule of thumb, any HR transformation, whether it is a digital one or not, must take place with a clear objective in mind. It must make business sense. Too often still, companies seem to give in to peer pressure; their competitors all ‘do digital’ so they feel like they must do something too.
But digitalizing certain HR processes just for the sake of it is never a good idea. It leads to the implementation of (expensive) technology that does not meet the actual needs of the business. This totally defies the purpose of a transformation. The purpose of transformation should be squarely placed on either understanding your customers needs better or improving your operational efficiency to be able to deliver on those needs quickly.
While it sounds good in theory, it can seem daunting when it comes to making that first step towards an HR digital transformation or any digital transformation. So here are a few ingredients for a successful start:
-
1. Establish a clear goal.
-
2. Get everyone on board.
-
3. Do not overcomplicate things.
-
4. Prioritize ideas.
-
5. Assess performance.
-
6. Culture is important.
