People Strategy & Alignment

In today's fast-paced business environment, evolving business strategy to address both current and future demands is a dynamic challenge. A recent study revealed a concerning statistic: only 28% of People leaders believe that their HR planning processes are fully integrated with broader business strategies. This highlights a critical gap that can hinder organizational performance.

 

Aligning HR strategy with key business drivers and human capital is essential to bridging this gap. It requires a cross-functional approach to ensure both business performance and people priorities are effectively addressed. This alignment is key to maximizing impact and driving sustainable growth.

Our People Strategy Playbook, inclusive of your custom benchmarks, outlines where the business is currently and where it needs to go, with a 1 - 3 year roadmap, operational framework, and cadence for regular business reviews, to effectively measure the ROI of these efforts.

Talent Optimization

In a rapidly changing business environment, optimizing your workforce's composition and capabilities is increasingly complex. Over 50% of People leaders report that their workforce planning is primarily limited to headcount management, leaving significant gaps in strategic talent alignment. Furthermore, a staggering 81% of boards acknowledge that business disruptions are driven by skills and talent shortages.

 

An inconsistent, non-scalable workforce planning process not only restricts your ability to respond to strategic shifts -- it also hampers HR's capacity to align with business-critical initiatives effectively.

 

To address these challenges, Hive offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to optimize workforce planning and development. Our tailored approach may include some combination of a workforce capabilities and segmentation assessment, organizational alignment diagnostics, culture assessment, talent strategy development, facilitation of targeted training programs, in-depth workforce data analysis, and employee insights and feedback -- essentially extracting what is most impactful across the entire ecosystem.

Operational Excellence

To drive sustainable performance, a well-functioning ecosystem must have the right mix of resources. Achieving this requires a structured approach to understanding current operations, and designing targeted interventions that align with business strategy. This includes process simplification and standardization, optimizing talent utilization with clear decision-making frameworks, and leveraging technology to enhance data driven decisions.

 

Just as an engine relies on the right combination of air, fuel, coolant, electricity and oil to run smoothly, an organization's work environment cannot perform at its best without appropriate resources in place. A recent study found that organizations adopting operational excellence practices, on average, see a 10% increase in revenue growth, along with reductions in operating costs ranging between 15% to 30%.
