Streamlining HR Excellence

Applying Lean Principles to Human Resources Processes

Lean principles are a set of guidelines designed to eliminate waste and optimise productivity within a businesses processes. They focus on delivering value to the customer, streamlining the value-creation process, ensuring smooth workflow, and aligning business outputs to internal and external customer demand.

When applied to Human Resource Management, Lean can streamline HR processes, eliminate non-value adding activities, and improve efficiency. This can lead to quicker resolution of employee issues, more efficient recruitment processes, and overall improvement in employee satisfaction. Additionally, it can assist employees through change and foster a culture of continuous improvement within the organisation. By focusing on value from the employee’s perspective, Lean HRM can contribute to a more engaged and productive workforce.
