Seven HR best practices
The 7 Human Resource best practices presented below have been proposed
by Jeffrey Pfeffer. Pfeffer wrote two books on this topic:
•Competitive Advantage through People (1994), and
•The Human Equation: Building Profits by Putting People First (1998)
In these books, he proposes a set of best practices that can increase a
company’s profit. When these HR principles are combined (or bundled), their
impact is even more profound.
These best practices are:
1.Providing security to employees :
The first Human Resource best practice is employment security. Life is
unpredictable and work is a stable factor that is very important to most
people. Having an employer who enables the employee to provide for
themselves and their family is, in essence, the number one reason why
people come to work.
2. Selective hiring: Hiring the right people :
You can’t just hire anyone; you want people who are fit for the job. Companies do their utmost
best to hire exceptional people because they add the most value to the business. There also
needs to be a prioritization of building a structured and fair selection process. This reflects legal
requirements, internal diversity goals, and that a more diverse workforce, better reflects
society. This can be hugely beneficial for understanding wider consumer behavior and the
needs of different customers.
3. Self-managed and effective teams :
We all know that teamwork is crucial in achieving goals. High-performance teams are crucial for
any company when it comes to achieving success.
Teams provide value because they consist of people who are, and think differently but are
working towards a common goal. This means that different ideas are generated to help achieve
the goal. These ideas are then processed and combined, resulting in the best ones being
selected.
4. Fair and performance-based compensation :
First of all, if you hire the right people, you want to compensate them above average. These are
the people that will add the most value to your company so you want to retain them and pay
them fairly. This is an example that shows how different best practices work together to provide
more value than they would alone, in this case, selective hiring, contingent compensation, and
employment security.
5. Training in relevant skills :
This HR best practice states that companies should invest heavily in training time and budget
for its employees.
After recruiting the best people, you need to ensure that they remain the frontrunners in the
field. This has become even more relevant today as the rate at which technology is developing
is growing exponentially. This is where learning and development come in.
6. Creating a flat and egalitarian organization :
This best practice in HR principles is rooted in the egalitarian practices of Japanese
management. Although we just saw that some employees are more critical than others for the
organization’s success, this shouldn’t be communicated in such a way. Every employee is a
valuable member of the organization and should be treated as such.
7. Making information easily accessible to those who need it :
Information sharing is essential. This is an area where a lot of large companies struggle: How
do you keep track of who knows what, so you know where to go with your questions?
According to Pfeffer, there are two reasons why information sharing is so important.
Firstly, open communication about strategy, financials, and operations creates a culture in
which people feel they are trusted. It truly involves employees in the business. As an additional
effect, it discourages hear-say and negative informal chatter.
Secondly, if you want your people to share their ideas, they need to have an informed
understanding of what’s going on in the business.
Google :
Google being Google, it's no surprise that their approach to HR broke away from
tradition.
We all know about the tons of employee perks and amazing "Googlified“
facilities that set a new trend in office design.
But Google's strategic approach to human resources goes beyond that. Like with
most tech companies they're obsessed with data, and the HR function is no
exception.
In 2006, co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page decided to take an empirical
approach to HR founded on feedback and employee data. A manifestation of this
is Project Oxygen, an ongoing study into management practices that identifies
and measures key management behaviors and helps nurture them.
It all gets quite technical, but essentially Google hired some smart people to
undertake in-depth statistical analysis into what their employees consider to be
good managers. They discovered eight common behaviors exhibited by the top-
performing managers and then trained the rest in them.
As a result, Google saw an overall improvement in people management and team
metrics such as turnover, satisfaction, and performance over time.
Cisco :
True to their industry, CISCO developed their own HRM technology to guide
strategy and better serve the needs of the business.
The CISCO Talent Cloud is essentially an internal CRM that gives managers
transparency into the skills and experiences of the company’s 70,000+
employees. Further, it gives employees themselves the tools and insights they
need to take the initiative and advance their careers (sounds like an internal
LinkedIn!).
This approach allows managers to put together the best team needed to
complete a particular project, and employees the opportunity to learn by
working on a project that helps them meet a particular goal.
Senior managers can also access real-time intelligence on team performance,
how they produce results, execute priorities, and levels of engagement.
