Business success generally comes from having goals and a plan on how to reach them (or, at least it is rarely possible without these things!) Our experience has been that businesses are usually pretty strong at articulating their vision, mission and goals. In some cases they can even be quite specific and thorough when it comes to planning the budget, equipment, timelines, and technology required.

‍

However, when it comes to the people side of the plan, it tends to be lacking detail. This is despite labour being the single biggest operating cost in many industries – not to mention national talent shortages, attraction and retention challenges and a whole lot of market uncertainty. Without a well-considered people strategy, organisations can expect to see overloaded and stressed employees, resignations, reactive decisions, and most importantly – a significant risk to the achievement of business goals.

‍

The likelihood of business success can be significantly improved with a people strategy. HR functions are often underresourced and can lack the time and capability to bring a strategic lens to the table.

To help address this major gap, we’ve developed this practical guide for HR and business leaders who want to know how to develop an effective People Strategy.
