Transforming the HR and Learning and Development Functions

HR are increasingly being held accountable for the role they play in enabling the organisation to achieve its strategic goals and aims. The same pressures for efficiency and effectiveness apply within HR as in other areas of an organisation, especially at times of change.

Hemsley Fraser works with organisations to transform their Learning and Development and HR functions through:

Continuing professional development and up-skilling. This includes keeping up to date with the current management, leadership and business thinking as well as technical and specialist HR and Learning and Development areas.
Developing new areas of skill and expertise; these include:
- Commercial, business and finance skills to understand the levers for business performance and the role of key performance indicators;
- Negotiating, purchasing and contractor management skills for better management of key suppliers, external partners and outsource providers.
- Project management expertise for successfully managing business-wide change projects.
Reviewing working practices, including increasing the use of technology and HR Information Systems, and considering opportunities for developing and/or outsourcing specific functions and activities.
Providing surveys and metrics to measure learning and behaviours at individual and organisational level. This includes identifying the link between employee commitment and company performance and shareholder value.
