deliverables or KPIs are created.

the ‘time to hire in days’, which is currently

improvement hiring days.

HR Policies, Processes & Practices
• Policies: A strong employer branding policy will help in
building a strong reputation that will help in becoming a top
employer
• Processes: Key to decreasing lead time will be an
optimization between how recruiters and managers
communicate.
• Often, managers take a long time to review resumes and
plan interviews with candidates and changing these slow
processes into workflows that guarantee next-day action, can
decrease the time to hire with days, sometimes weeks.
• This is one of the many processes that can be implemented
to enable better performance on the HR deliverables.
• The candidate experience will be vital to attracting top
candidates and in ensuring a good rating in the top

HR Policies, Processes & Practices
• Practices: There are few practices that help HR
achieve the deliverables.
• The idea here is that HR should create a
number of High-Performance Work Systems
(HPWS).
• An HPWS is a group of separate but
interconnected HR practices designed to
enhance effectiveness.
• Electronic human resource management ( e-
HRM) is tool that can be an effective tool or
practice.

Align HR systems
• It is about aligning the different HR practices to
create synergy.
• For example, the employee branding efforts should
focus on the type of workers that the employer is
actually looking for.
• In addition, decreasing lead time by rushing through
the process may lead to a lower quality of hire,
resulting in a mismatch between what HR is doing,
and some of the goals it tries to achieve.
• All policies, process and procedure should align with
principal HR strategy.

Create HR efficiencies
• Efficiency is hallmark of success of business or a business
function.
• Traditionally, HR has focused a lot on creating
efficiencies.
• It can reduce cost or increase productivity to increase
bottom line of business.
• Continuous training and feedback can enhance HR
efficiencies.
• When it comes to creating an HR scorecard, some
efficiencies have to be thrown out of the window.
• The simple reason here is that to get, for example, a higher
quality of hire, your cost to hire someone might go up.

Create HR efficiencies
• The simple reason here is that to get, for example,
a higher quality of hire, your cost to hire someone
might go up.
• In our example, the quality of hire is a strategic
HR measurement.
• Investing money into increasing the quality of hire
is well worth it.
• This justifies investments in assessments, employer
branding projects, and other HR initiatives that
boost the main HR deliverables.
