2019 is waiting to enter our lives and it is time to budget and strategise the annual planning for human resources. Having an Employer of Record Services in Germany can be a big help and many businesses go for these services in order to create a stress-free HR strategy to guide us through whatever might come?
Here is a list of 4 Steps to Creating Your 2019 HR Business Plan with your Employer of record in Germany :
1. Audit Your 2018 Activity
The best to have a better tomorrow is to take lessons from your past. Learn from your mistakes and gain from your achievements in 2018 and strategize keeping in mind what worked best for you. Audit the allocation of resources in 2018 and sit with your EOR to identify what set of arrangement was proved out to be the best for the organisation. Also, make a list of five or ten things that went wrong, and consider why. A deliberate consideration of your doings in 2018 would tell you how accurate was your 2018 planning? Where did you overspend and where all you would have spent more. This will help you to learn from your mistakes and recreate your successes.
2. Talk To Employees
I really wish that the leaders of my organisation knew everything but sadly that can never be the case. Your 2018 audit will tell you a lot about what happened the previous year, but talking directly to your employees would give the answer to the question why which is just as critical to know. Take some time to do qualitative spot check-ins with your employees at every level of your organization.
3. Talk To Leaders About Goals For 2019
You may think that you are ready to discuss the entire strategy with your EOR alone but it is a good idea to sit with your leaders to talk about their plans and goals. Understanding their vision would lay the groundwork for long-term changes. Plans can be in pipeline to launch a new product at the global level or launch in a new global location in 2020. All these aspirations should be kept in mind before planning for 2019 even though the target for it to happen is in 2020. The reason behind this is very simple. For anything to happen in 2020, the work would progress in 2019 and so it is very important to be far-sighted and keep bigger goals in mind before you discuss anything with your EOR.
4. Conduct A Gap Analysis
Once you know your current understanding as well as the long-term vision for the company, it is now time to conduct a gap analysis to see where you need to make changes to support the organization. Here you can look for opportunities. For example, What can be outsourced? What can you automate? What can you bring in-house? Which countries are eating up most of your resources and how can you address that? What are the top risks and challenges? etc.
