Agile HR

Agile in HR goes beyond analyzing how agile transformations affect the HR function and emphasizes how the HR team can drive the transformation adoption.

Agility in HR helps people working in HR understand agile, apply agile methods in their own projects, and, most importantly, adjust their core processes to reflect the reality of an agile work environment.

Agile People understand their new role within the agile workspace and also how to:

Adjust individual performance metrics and compensation structures for team based success
Measure commitment and motivation within a team
Build the profile of potential and existing employees, placing emphasis on skills that enable cross-functional teams
Recruit and onboard new employees in a way that promotes agility
Determine which job roles are needed in the new working environment
Develop or hire leadership that operate under a new management model
Enhance learning and development to promote an environment of continuous learning

Additionally, an HR department that embraces agile is better equipped meet the needs of their customers (employees) by increasing empathy, becoming more customer-focused, and being easier to work with through consistent collaboration and transparency.

Why is it important?
HR is one of the few departments that cuts across all other departments. Their ability to influence the adoption of a transformation is greater than any other area of an organization. HR should play a fundamental role in the adoption of an agile culture as they have a unique position and ability to design a new organizational structure that enables business agility, maximizes communication and collaboration within and among teams, and enables the flow of value.

Agile People are critical in developing and executing an organizational action plan for modeling an agile mindset. By adopting a new work culture, HR teams drive the organizational transformation.

The power of agility is through people.
