Your Challenge
- It is often unclear what competencies an HR department should develop to achieve HR departmental priorities.
- It can be difficult to assess selected competencies quickly and at no to low cost since many third-party assessments are expensive or too expansive and in-house assessments can be difficult to create.
- Development plans for effectively developing an HR department in the selected competencies often don’t exist, are overly complicated, or do not accurately target the selected competencies.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Effectively develop your HR department by keeping it simple. Identify department-wide and individual employee competency gaps, then provide development opportunities using a variety of learning methods to increase the likelihood of adoption and success.
Impact and Result
- Use McLean & Company’s three-step process to identify the competencies key to delivering on the HR department’s priorities, assess the HR team against these competencies, and develop a plan to address competency gaps. Weigh time, budget, and the size of the competency gap when determining how to address each gap.
