HR Strategy
We think differently. We focus on understanding your business to customize strategic solutions that will set you apart from the competition and make you an employer of choice.
HR Business Partnering to Senior Leaders
MEDAL HR understands business priorities and the impact that internal and external environments pose to business.
- We provide high-level business partnering and advisory to business leaders.
- We listen to the challenges facing the senior leadership team, ask targeted questions to broaden the conversation, and expertly guide the team through the decision-making process.
- We link HR solutions to business strategies while being mindful of bottom line results and employee well-being.
Succession Planning
Succession planning is critical to minimizing risk, and necessary for business expansion. Effectively defining the requirements of future leaders requires a clear understanding of the organization’s strategic direction.
- We will clarify business strategy and direction
- Determine the leadership, people, and skill requirements needed to achieve business targets
- Conduct an analysis to identify any gaps
- Create plans and process to build leadership and skills required to fill gaps,
- Determine approaches for ongoing evaluation.
Elevate Your Human Resources Function
Effective HR business partners need to understand your business strategy and align HR services to achieve company success.
- We will evaluate the existing HR team and function. Determine any gaps and set strategies to correct any gaps that have been identified.
- Coach, mentor, guide, and develop existing Human Resources leaders to enhance skills required to support a changing or expanding organization.
- Build business acumen with existing HR leaders allowing them to think more strategically to better support business needs.
- Outline strategies to develop strong relationships with internal customers and functional leaders
- Improve transparency, flow of critical information, and build an effective and functional team structure.
- Redesign or restructure the HR function to be responsive to your business needs.
Mergers and Acquisitions
One of the most common reasons for Merger and Acquisition failure is overlooking Human Resources, specifically culture and leadership. MEDAL HR can perform a full audit of organizations that want to enter into M&A activity, and anticipate issues as they relate to leadership styles, leadership depth, and achievement of desired culture.
- Strategies will be designed to promote behaviours towards achievement of the desired new culture.
- The M&A audit will capture how the organizations are structured and how they function.
- A study of the corporate cultures will be done to reveal core organizational values, team cultures, and leadership styles to determine if they are at odds with one another.
- We will review employees, their functions, and take inventory of skills both present and needed.
- Systems will be reviewed and evaluated and measured on performance.
- Once information is gathered, strategies will be formulated, and an integration plan can be created to effectively guide the M&A process.
