An HR strategy is important for companies of all sizes, as it helps to achieve the company’s goals and business targets as well as to ensure its long-term success. It also serves as a guide, ensures competitiveness, reduces personnel costs and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” text_line_height=”1.89em” header_2_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” header_2_text_color=”gcid-2784e1ce-2768-4fd5-82f8-c8810b7e6154″ header_3_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-f7ac8586-8e78-4ff7-ba3b-b014d456e962″ header_3_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f7ac8586-8e78-4ff7-ba3b-b014d456e962%22:%91%22header_3_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-2784e1ce-2768-4fd5-82f8-c8810b7e6154%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n An HR analysis is the process of collecting, organizing and analyzing data from the HR department and its owned processes and stakeholders. Only when the current state of the company is clear, it can be evaluated and potential actions in the strategy change can be made.<\/span><\/p>\n Yet, the urgency of HR analytics for HR strategy and related business success is often underestimated.<\/span> There are many circumstances in which companies should consider an HR analysis to assess the current situation. This can be, for example, situations like the following:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” text_line_height=”1.89em” header_2_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” header_2_text_color=”gcid-2784e1ce-2768-4fd5-82f8-c8810b7e6154″ header_3_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-f7ac8586-8e78-4ff7-ba3b-b014d456e962″ header_3_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f7ac8586-8e78-4ff7-ba3b-b014d456e962%22:%91%22header_3_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-2784e1ce-2768-4fd5-82f8-c8810b7e6154%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n An HR analysis can be divided into different steps, which are introduced in the following.<\/span> These vary from company to company and may look like this:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” text_line_height=”1.89em” header_2_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” header_2_text_color=”gcid-2784e1ce-2768-4fd5-82f8-c8810b7e6154″ header_3_font=”montserrat-variablefont_wght||||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-f7ac8586-8e78-4ff7-ba3b-b014d456e962″ header_3_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f7ac8586-8e78-4ff7-ba3b-b014d456e962%22:%91%22header_3_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-2784e1ce-2768-4fd5-82f8-c8810b7e6154%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n From the comparison between the actual and target state, it is now clear where potential is already being used successfully, where it is only being used to a limited extent, and where it is being used inadequately. The task now is to fill the gaps that have arisen with concrete recommendations for action.<\/span> In this step, ideas are generated, research is conducted, further departments are consulted, and coordination with leadership is included. In most cases, these are deep decisions that often affect not only HR, but also company strategy. It is also important not to close one’s eyes to the results. A good analysis usually emphasizes things that are already going well, and uncovers often things that can still be improved and need to be revised. The trick is to record these honestly and transparently and invest in change again.<\/span><\/p>\n In the end, it is important to plan well and formulate realistic sub-goals. It is also essential to record the action plans in a clear and logically thought-out schedule. Not every idea can be implemented immediately. It is therefore important to prioritize and implement the strategy step by step. Ideally, a target date is also defined by which the steps should be implemented. Then, at the latest, another HR analysis should be conducted to compare the actual and target status and to measure progress. After all, HR is dynamic and must be continuously adapted and improved.<\/span>What is an HR analysis?<\/h2>\n
