Aim of the session …

‘To highlight a practical example of how HR can act as an organisational facilitator, enabling others to work together to achieve shared goals’

Our two organisations …

• 7,500 officer, staff and volunteers

• Combined budget of £396 million

• Covering an area of nearly 5,000 square miles

• Serving a population of 2.43 million people

• Entered a strategic alliance in 2015

• Announced a desire to explore merger in 2017

HR’s Key Role in the Alliance

• Highlighted lessons from other mergers • Demonstrated the importance of

people issues • Appointed a culture change specialist • Created a dedicated HR Change Team • Combined the two HR functions into a

single team to support the journey • Developed a clear joint people strategy

Working together …

…through Workforce Planning

The Challenge …

Everyone wants workforce planning to be an exact science…

… in reality it is as much art as it is science

The Mistake…

‘Believing HR is responsible for leading on all aspects of the process and fixing the content of the plan’

The Solution…

‘HR needs to act as a facilitator, clarifying roles so the Executive, Operational Experts and Finance Colleagues can come together as an effective team…’
