HR Projects as part of HR Strategy
The HR Projects should be the result of the approved HR Strategy. The HR Strategy should not be build around the projects, but the projects should make the HR Strategy the reality. The HR team has to be aware, that the HR Project Plan can be changes by the introduction of the new HR Strategy.
The HR Projects should support the HR Strategy. In reality, the HR Projects are not connected with the HR or business strategy and the improvements are not significant for the organization or Human Resources.
The HR Projects are usually painful as the HR Information System is not unified and not consistently used for all HR Processes. The HR Projects are more about nice-to-have and they are not focused on building a standardized HR Data Warehouse providing the data for all the HR Processes.
Take look into your own daily practice. How many data do you have in your HR system and how many data do you hold in many Microsoft Excel sheets and files? The MS Excel is a great program to calculate the business case, but it should not act as the database. Generally, it acts as the database in many organization as it is simple and useful in the beginning. Just later, it brings a lot of mistakes and a lot of misunderstandings.
Each HR Project has to be focused on bringing the unified approach to Human Resources and to make the data available to all HR employees. The perfect HR Information System connects people better way than sending emails all around. This is also a goal of the excellent HR Strategy.
