Human Resources Project Management
Project Management in Human Resources
Recent legislation changes in employment law - age discrimination, working time directive, holiday entitlements etc are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of changes happening within the Human Resources Management function. HR transformation and revitalisation, change management, alignment of HRM and the strategic objectives of the organisation are all current hot topics in many organisations both public and commercial.
Making big changes happen – HR Shared Services, HR Business Process Outsourcing, strategic reviews and redesign alongside the provision of the main staples of the HRM function means HR functions continue to be tested on the value and contribution they make. There is a case that all HR Services maybe outsourced, HRM are under constant pressure to ensure they are adding value to the objectives of the business.
Programmes and Projects within the HR Department
HR Transformation programmes (people and process) with elements of new service delivery models, systems implementation, change management and strategic planning can all benefit from a dedicated Project Management resource. Additional value can also be attained through the provision of a project office to take care of all administration and reporting needs. HR provision may be delivered via a programme and project approach using a consistent methodology and a central core team of experts for planning and reporting; this can apply to annual activities such as pension statements as well as of implementation of additional change such a new benefits packages or supporting IT systems. Implementing technology enabled HR and people management services using Project Managers with specific technologies experience coupled with a strong background in human resources. Examples of where Project and Programme Management professionals can be deployed;
- In-house e-systems solutions (small or large bespoke systems implementations)
