So what exactly is ‘proactive HR’, I hear you ask?! Well, it’s actually a lot more than just people and process and there’s a difference between good HR and proactive HR.
We tend to think of HR as a practical approach and reactive response to standard issues – recruitment, retention, supporting line managers in ER (disciplinaries, grievances), remuneration (pay and reward) and leaving procedures immediately spring to mind and getting these basics right is of course important. But proactive HR requires a deeper level of understanding and a more collaborative approach to these issues and the positive impact it can have on your business, is significant.
