HUMAN RESOURCE SERVICES

Now more than ever, it is imperative that businesses be adaptable and flexible to anticipate and deal with today’s economy.  However, without the right tools in place, that can be difficult to achieve.  For implementing change within an organization, people are imperative. They need to have the right skills in place and the right motivation to be adaptable and flexible. Thanks to our affiliations with Korn Ferry, an international management consulting company, we apply global expertise to local businesses in Pakistan to implement lasting change.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is pictured as a source to improve and increase efficiency in a growing number of organizations. It is recognized that unique capabilities are obtained by enhancing employee skills, exclusive organizational cultures, and management process.

There is an increased recognition that distinctive competencies can be achieved through highly developed employee skills, distinctive organizational cultures, management processes, and systems.

The last decade has seen various new developments in HRM, emphasizing the linking of HRM with the organization’s overall strategy.

The direct and robust impact of HRM on organizational performance is well established by empirical data. How human capital is recruited, developed, organized, and managed has a direct and decisive influence on its performance.

To achieve success, the commercial entity must distinguish between its administrative part that can smartly allocate talented resources and curtail costs and its counterpart based on strategy, which must locate the right professionals to execute the company’s projected advancement.

The human resource function’s ultimate goal is to help the organization achieve its goals by attracting the best people for the job and motivating them.

Assessment and Succession:

To successfully execute business strategies, organizations need to have the right people in the right place at the right time. We provide organizations with a clear understanding of their talent, the talent they need, and how to bridge those gaps. We look at how to close those gaps by assessing the organization’s industry to pinpoint the exact job attributes needed for the specific position. To assess employees, we take an approach covering four dimensions-competencies, traits, drivers, and experiences.  These evaluations cover numerous stages and predict performance, engagement, retention, productivity, leadership effectiveness, and potential. Using assessments will help create alignment between the talent you have and your organizational strategies.

Succession and assessment of employees in an organization hold the future of the organization. We help in the process to identify the competencies to develop and nurture a talent pool of employees to ensure a smooth transition in leadership positions.

We can assist in setting out specific strategies according to your organizations’ specification, which will allow your organization to achieve the mission, goals, and initiatives.

Rewards and Benefits:

Great work deserves great compensation, but how do you satisfy employees with diverse needs? We understand the differing dynamics of the talent pool. We collaborate with leadership to create custom solutions for your unique challenges and opportunities to align your rewards systems with your organizational values.  We develop adaptable and practical compensation strategies that focus on extrinsic and intrinsic rewards to attract and retain the diverse workforce.

Rewards and benefits go a long way in keeping the employee working in the organization and not moving away to other opportunities. We can help determine distributive fairness, which is the amount an employee should receive, and procedural fairness, as to the means used to determine that amount.

Salary is not the only benefit that an employee can have; we help in determining benefits like health insurance, stock options, pensions, and calculating overtime payments that can motivate the employee to stay at your organization.

We can also help determine a market rate by comparing compensation data for the positions with the organization’s data being secured, which can help determine the average rate of salaries in the specific business according to the experience and skills of an employee.
