HR Strategy Template?
The HR Strategy is unique for each organization and there is no general HR Strategy Template, which can be used for all organizations. The HR Strategy has the goal of a differentiation of the company from others, it cannot be reached by using the HR Strategy Template.
The HR Strategy template generally does not exist, but there are some questions, which have to be answered by the HR Strategy and these questions are pretty general and they can be used as a template for the HR Strategy design and development.
As each organization is unique, the answers for the general questions about the HR Strategy will have different answers. There is no general HR Strategy template to cover all answers, but the clients like the pictures more than the written documents. The picture can explain more in less words and HR employees should spend their time with Microsoft PowerPoint translating ideas and words into pictures.
The HR Team can take the following questions as the template for the HR Strategy as they should be answered. Maybe, they are not interesting for the HR Team itself, but the internal clients and top management will ask them. Leaving them unanswered will decrease their trust in the new HR Strategy. The questions are general, but the answers have to be specific and they have to fit perfectly into the organization and its corporate culture:
- How is it connected with the business strategy?
- How is HR Strategy connected with our corporate culture and corporate values?
- How it will increase overall performance of the organization?
- What are the costs of the implementation? (FTEs, HRIS)
- What are the main benefits for the internal clients?
- How it will change the way we work now?
- Who are the main stakeholders?
- What HR employees do we need?
- What is the timing of the implementation?
- What will HR ask from me as the internal client to implement the HR Strategy successfully?
You can add as many additional questions as you want, but you have to keep in mind, the HR Strategy is a general document setting the long term vision for the HR team and it cannot provide all the answers. The HR employees have to find their own way to implement the HR Strategy in their own area of the responsibility. The HR Strategy document cannot make their part of the job, they will have several years to implement it usually. And for the implementation – there is no HR Strategy template as well.
