HR Strategy Communication


Luke - Posted on 30 May 2009

As the HR Strategy defines long term goals for Human Resources, it has several target groups, which have to understand the vision and mission of Human Resources. The target groups are not HR Professionals and they need translation of the HR Strategy into their own words. It is not good to produce the HR Strategy and then send it to all employees via email.
The HR Strategy needs a story behind. Each part of the HR Strategy should be explained as a real life example. The employees and managers like the stories as they can find their own examples.
Human Resources is not about numbers and HR Strategy should reflect this reality. The numbers should be use as the background information, but the story should be based on real life examples from the organization.
Human Resources should fine the exceptions in the organization as the HR Strategy tries to change these exceptions into regular HR Processes. The HR Managers have to identify these exception, find the relevant information and they promote the main HR strategic initiatives by showing these examples publicly.
HR Strategy communication by examples has one big advantage. It is completely unique and it cannot be easily copied by the competitors as they have to find their own examples to show. The presentation can be copied easily, the story needs a deeper understanding.
