Management & support

HR Function

Our HR projects increasingly have both a technology and a transformational element, shifting HR from transactional to strategic activity, a more agile and robust operating model, business driven talent and performance strategies, and a radically improved employee experience. This will be delivered through a customised HR operating model and the HR service delivery model which incorporates the strategic vision of HR and the business, clear processes, performance management, advanced technology and HR people capabilities.
