How to Turn Your HR Strategy into Reality

by Tony Grundy

Overview

In this Report, Tony Grundy takes you through a number of phases towards developing and implementing an HR strategy.

From a diagnosis of HR issues—identifying and assessing the critical areas where Human Resources can enable or frustrate business strategy and operational performance—to an analysis of the external and internal future environment of your company and the effect on your Human Resources—this is practical information aimed at HR and senior line managers.

Using a Future Organizational Model, you will see how to flesh-out future organisational structures, skills, behaviours and attitudes, and be able to define, develop and prioritize Human Resource 'breakthroughs'—in other words, a small number of concentrated programs or projects which move you towards that future.

This Report includes:

Diagrams and charts to bring the process of developing an HR strategy alive
Case studies (including Champneys Health Farm and Nycomed Amersham)—learn from the experiences of fellow HR professionals
Detailed checklists of what to do - don't leave anything to chance!
