Change is the mother of invention. In my work on changing how HR Services are delivered and how assessments are used, I have found some secret methods for making change happen.
There are a lot of self-help books out there with all sorts of advice, and more motivational speakers with messages of treating each other nice and getting things done. I have a better idea.
Move your office. All of it. Get some boxes, and take all of the stuff that is in your desk and on your desk and so on and get busy. Mark the "keep" and "pitch" boxes and start sorting. If you don't have a different space to move to, just haul everything out into the hall and only move back in that which is useful.
Do the same with your processes. Find ways to simplify, find ways to use technology better, and even find ways to stop doing things altogether if they are not aligned with your strategic goals. This, in a real sense, is how you apply Lean Theory to HR, and make Lean HR. Eliminate Waste, and rethink the processes at the core of your work.
By taking all of the flotsam and jetsam of your office and sifting through it, boxes and boxes of waste will be generated. This is good - you will be amazed at how liberating it feels to have a new, clean focus. Now, do the same with your Human Capital Management processes. All of the talent management ideas, all of the job fit efforts, everything.
If you need some help after you get everything out in the hall - give me a call. I'm happy to be that ruthless, objective friend that can help clean out the closets...and, also, I have just moved my office, so I'm an expert.
My question is this: if you could change one part of the hiring process, what would it be?
