Strategic HR consulting is a powerful tool for organizations looking to align their people strategy with business goals. By focusing on long-term success, it transforms HR from a support function into a strategic partner that drives growth.
Why Strategic HR Consulting Matters
1. Aligns People Strategy with Business Goals
For a business to thrive, HR must do more than handle recruitment and compliance—it must act as a strategic driver. Strategic HR consulting helps companies align workforce planning, talent acquisition, and performance management with their broader business objectives.
Example: One of our clients wanted to understand their employees’ perspectives to improve engagement. We conducted a company-wide eNPS survey, multiple focus groups, and 1:1 interviews with management. This deep dive helped identify key areas to focus on for the coming year, ensuring their people strategy directly supported business growth and employee satisfaction.
2. Boosts Employee Engagement and Productivity
Highly engaged employees are 23% more likely to stay with their organization and drive better performance outcomes, according to Gallup (Gallup, 2024). Research also shows that business units with high employee engagement experience increased productivity and profitability (Gallup, 2020). Strategic HR consultants design tailored engagement strategies—ranging from recognition programs to well-being initiatives—to sustain motivation and enhance organizational success.
Example: A client asked us to review their performance review process because managers weren’t using it. We quickly realized why—it was too complicated to implement and difficult to communicate with employees. By simplifying the framework and providing clear, actionable guidelines, we made the process easier for managers and more meaningful for employees, leading to higher adoption and better-quality feedback.
3. Enhances Leadership Development
Developing strong leaders is crucial for long-term success. Strategic HR consulting helps organizations build leadership pipelines through targeted training, mentorship programs, and succession planning.
Example: A global company with over 35,000 employees, Johnson Electric wanted to prepare its top 100 high-potential talents for leadership. They implemented a comprehensive Strengths-based program, connecting participants online to explore their CliftonStrengths, followed by 1:1 coaching sessions with a certified coach and their manager. This approach not only helped them debrief their Strengths results but also tackle one of their biggest current challenges—accelerating their leadership growth while staying aligned with the company’s future needs (Johnson Electric).
