ENGAGEMENT OF HR CONSULTANTS AN IMPERATIVE FOR
SMALL AND MID-SIZE ORGANIZATIONS

• In their book, The HR Value Proposition,
  authors Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank, mention
  that the key function of Human Resources is to
  implement strategies that create value by
  delivering business results in efficient and
  effective ways.

HR function 

• Their central message is that HR must create
  value for each of the organizations stake
  holders whether it is shareholders, top leaders,
  employees and even customers.
• The HR function over the years has evolved
  and in the well managed organizations it is
  rapidly transforming itself. It is changing from
  the transnational roles of maintaining payroll,
  and administering benefits to more transformation
  roles and strategic roles.

• In many professional organizations, HR plays
  a critical role in capability building,
  leadership identification and development as well
  as shaping organization culture to make it more
  aligned with its business purpose, vision and
  objectives.However, a large number of small and
  even mid-size organizations are unable to afford
  the cost of an elaborate Human Resources set up.
  They are unable to develop their in-house HR
  departments with managers looking after training
  recruitment and selection and compensation.

Value of sound HR policies

• But the need to avail the HR services remain
  as much as a large organization. Though it must
  be stated that many promoters, owners and
  the leadership team quite often underestimate the
  value of sound HR policies, practices and
  processes.

• They assume that by default the best people
  would be selected, groomed and developed. And
  much more than shaping culture for high
  performance, innovation and customer service or
  building capability for competitive advantage
  they prefer to spend more time on immediate
  issues of operation and maintenance

• But the organization sensitivity to
  organizational and people issues is becoming more
  pronounced. Organizations which are unable to
  hire the best HR professionals in their company
  payroll are now utilizing the services of HR
  consultants.
• The main aim of an HR consultant is to ensure
  that the human capital of a company serves the
  best interest of the business. Along with
  companys interest, the consultants also ensure
  that the company utilities its people
  efficiently.

HR strategy

• The HR consultant needs to have the full
  confidence of the leadership team, if he/she has
  to deliver his/her job properly. A professional
  HR consultant would not only be able to hold a
  mirror to the companys management about the
  effectiveness of its management practices and
  processes but also develop a road map for
  implementation of the HR strategy.
