HR Management Process (Junior Level)

OVERVIEW

HR is about taking care of people. That means helping people navigate the various stages of the employee journey, as well as making sure the business has the right talent to meet its strategic goals.

In order to balance these two primary objectives, HR teams have to be nimble, adaptive, and efficient. They need processes and tools that make their work as simple as possible, so that they can focus on what really matters: relationships.

In this article, we explore the 11 human resources processes that are most critical for the success of any business. We also consider some of the ways these processes can be optimized to help you deliver exceptional employee experiences and set your HR or People Operations team up for success.

LEARNING OUTCOME

Improving these processes is usually the responsibility of the HR specialist. This improvement requires adapting the process in order to:

• Create positive employee experiences
• Reduce errors and improve accuracy
• Improve response times
• Enhance visibility & control
• Make the processes more user-friendly
• Reduce process friction

LEARNING METHODOLOGIES

Improving outcomes for all types of employee requests can be as simple as using a workflow management system that allows teams to create and automate unique workflows for each type of employee request. Sometimes referred to as HR case management software, these tools make collaboration across teams much easier by providing access to everyone — in any department — to provide input or approval to resolve the request.
