HR Process Descriptions

The HR Process Descriptions can the operation of Human Resources smoother and the transitions of the HR Processes among employees are much easier. The HR Processes Descriptions does not have to be the process descriptions like the processes for the factory unit, but they can be kept simple and useful for the audience.

The HR Process Descriptions have to distinguish the job content in Human Resources and some kind of the expertise the employees in HR usually have. The process description does not have to be complex, but they have to navigate the employees to find the necessary information quickly.

Many HR Managers make the mistake, they ask for the very detailed process descriptions, which takes long time to produce and the HR Employees do not see the value added from the process description.

The HR Process description should follow the rules:

• Simplicity - the HR Process does not have to be described in every single detail, the most important process steps are necessary to be included. When the process interacts with the HR Information System, the interaction has to be described in higher detail as the newcomer can quickly start.
• Process Inputs and Outputs - the good HR Process description includes the process inputs and outputs as the HR Employee can quickly see the need of the HR Process to run smoothly and what outputs have to send to other employees to finish the HR Process successfully.
• HR Process Interdependencies - none of the HR Processes can exist on its own. The process description should immediately show the dependencies on other HR Processes and the client processes of the HR Process as the HR Employee can quickly find out the main interactions and can co-operate with other HR Employees.
