Ensure People Have What It
Takes
High-performance organizations: |
|
- Assess their human resource needs when a new direction is adopted.
- Define the skills and competencies they will need to pursue their new
mission.
- Fill in any HR gaps, basing decisions on the qualities exhibited in their
star performers.
|
Charting a new course often requires some adjustments in human resources. A new
strategy to be the low-cost provider in a given market requires: |
- Greater efficiency in your lines of distribution
- Less concentration on R&D.
|
| Obviously, this has an impact on the organization’s people needs. |
|
- Begin with a systematic assessment of the high performing competencies your
organization will require to meet the new mission.
- Compare the current skills and competencies.
- Make matches where possible.
- Retrain high-potential employees.
- Obtain other needed skills through new hires.
|
|
The groundwork for a high-performance system is established during this stage,
when the organization assigns the right people to the right jobs with the help
of the competency profiles of its star performers.
