How it works

Stepping back to identify and select core HR processes and practices to target represents a key starting point in generating early “wins” that establish credibility for HR as a legitimate Lean player. Understanding the business strategies that a Lean HR must align with is only the beginning. The next stage requires a disciplined approach to making informed choices about all high-visibility applications that engage leaders and managers, and to communicating HR’s vision and ability to execute using the business's own methods and tools, including Lean.

Identifying which HR processes are best suited for Lean application is a critical step in implementing a Lean HR strategy. HR can conduct a structured, ongoing review of all core functions, considering the full employee lifecycle, from talent attraction to selection, hiring, onboarding, performance management, talent development, career mobility and advancement, and offboarding, to pinpoint inefficiencies that hinder strategic alignment.
