Client
One of the world’s leading technology and services enterprises that offers business process improvement and document management, and employs over 140,000 people in more than 60 countries.
The business challenge
The client experienced disparate business and HR processes after doubling in size through global acquisitions. Leadership commissioned an HR transformation, which identified succession planning and performance management as top priorities.
Driving factors included:
- Lack of reporting and analytic capabilities: Managers and HR did not have visibility into internal talent or analytics capabilities to capture performance management metrics electronically.
- Inconsistencies in processes: There were inconsistencies with performance management processes. Goals did not align with the organization’s overall objectives and employees did not understand how their performance contributed to their career growth and development.
- Manual processes: The client used a paper-based process for goal setting, performance appraisals, and development planning.
- Poor manager and employee experience: Manual processes and lack of self-service caused managers and employees to depend on HR as an administrative function to process paperwork. They lacked the tools needed for effective, ongoing performance management and career development.
The Baker Tilly solution
Baker Tilly addressed the client’s need for a system that would address their challenges while integrating with their overall talent management strategy, process, and change management needs. The client opted to move to an integrated cloud solution. The work included:
- Analysis and identification of pain points with the client’s succession and performance management processes.
- Defining a global road map for the succession and performance management platforms that integrated with the larger HR transformation.
- Creating effective workflows and business processes that connected strategic objectives to individual contribution.
- A rollout to targeted populations with phased functionality and scope and assistance with deployment.
- Promoting adoption through communications and training.
