Choosing an HR consultancy for your organisation can be tricky, especially if you are a small organisation. You want the best, yet its important that you keep within your budget. Which makes selection a crucial step and one that you must do with utmost care.
Like any other firm, HR consultancies come in all shapes and sizes. And could be ranging from a one- man army to a huge organisation. It’s up to you to analyse your requirement well and chose an HR consultancy that fits the bill well.
Need some help? Well let me give you some pointers that can help you boil down your choices.
This is by far the most important step. Its essential that the HR Consultant or Consultancy has enough experience on board, especially if they are going to look after your entire HR function. A little grey can also add a lot when it comes to increasing the importance given to the HR in the boardroom as well as while making company announcements!
Also check the kind of clients that the HR Consulting firm has worked with in the past. If they have prior experience working with a client from your industry, it’s definitely a point to consider. It will be easier for them to understand your problems and may even be able to apply tools that they have used in the past.
The broader the experience of the HR consultancy, the better. This means that they can manage and advise you on a larger number of HR functions. Some of the areas where they should be able to offer you their services are Recruitment, Selection, Compensation and Benefits, Performance Management, Training, Employee Engagement, HR Policies, Industrial Relations (if that is something you need currently or many need in the future), etc.
This is also important depending upon your need. If you have an HR department in place but just require the assistance and advice of an experienced HR professional, then you can manage with a single HR Consultant. However, if you want to outsource your entire HR department, then you need a firm with a larger number of consultants.
An HR Consultant’s role is extremely important in an organisation. They need to be able to manage employees at various levels, right from the Senior Management to the workforce. Therefore, it’s important that you select a Consultant or Firm that can connect with employees at various levels, understand their challenges and provide appropriate solutions.
Hope these points helped. Would love to hear some of your experiences😊
