Lean Human Resources masterclass

Human Resources in a lean organisation has three key roles:
1. Stabilisation of the work environment. This includes the day-to-day work, such as maintaining good industrial relations, managing daily work, maintaining a healthy and safe environment, and transactional HR duties.
2. Developing people. In a lean organisation this is not simply skills training. Developing people is much broader; it is about total people development from their skills and competencies to their wellbeing and attitudes.
3. Productivity and continuous improvement. This goes to the heart of lean in people management. Managing productivity and continuous improvement is, among other things, about creating an environment for people to work better and more productively. It is about creating an organisational value system that appreciates the potential of people and ensuring that their systems and processes are structured to optimise the ongoing value of this potential.

There will be three themes running through the Lean HR Masterclass:
1. Challenging existing beliefs and current conventional management practises. This will include a look at commonly used measurements in HR and the opportunities for a coherent set of people management standards consistent with lean thinking.
2. Introducing lean principles within the HR environment specifically. And discussion about how the principles could be applied to HR.
3. Business enablement. This will look at how HR can support the strategic objectives of your organisation to create more value for customers.

The main aim of the Masterclass is to challenge conventional HR beliefs and to explore how the lean principles can add value to the function of HR practitioners and the organisation as a whole.
