7. HR DEPARTMENT EFFECTIVENESS

Build a world-class HR organization to provide leadership and support the business strategy, and align objectives with the business goals.

"Organizing Global Human Resources. Paradoxically, ... the HR function is not perceived in many companies as a full partner in the globalization process. Sometimes, it is viewed as an obstacle, slowing down the process through bureaucratic central procedures. The ethnocentric and parochial HR systems and policies inherited from the past, focused on the parent company and projected onto the rest of the world, are all too often a barrier to the implementation of effective global organizational processes."
The Global Challenge, Frameworks for International Human Resource Management
by Evans, Puck, Barsoux.

  • Advise clients on creating a "world-class" HR organization globally.
  • Develop the HR vision, and align HR goals with the company's business strategies.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the worldwide HR organization.
  • Maximize the use of technologies and HRIS/HRMS systems to reduce costs and improve service delivery. Seek outsourcing opportunities for the non-core HR functions, and assist with the RFP process and vendor selection.
