Effectively integrating performance measures into every HR process

What does your organisation use human resource processes for – keeping track of training, hiring and firing? Are they deployed to spot people with high potential or flag those with inadequacies?

Often, we see that HR processes slip down through the cracks in the strategic machinery and wind up as mere administrative tools.

Green-Jakobsen will help you calibrate a process that embeds behaviours of your people that are directly linked to your overall business strategy and safety vision.

Ensure coherence in your HR Management processes

By their very nature, HR systems are an integral part of working at sea and on shore. However, quite often, their potential as development drivers are never fully realised.

We sometimes observe that operational management of crew is disconnected from the company strategy, and activities such as recruitment, appraisal and training are fragmented.

Often, different crew management practices apply to different nationalities of seafarers working for the same employer.

While there is a constant desire and will to improve people’s performance, improvement efforts are often undermined as the management approach lacks coherence.

In Green-Jakobsen we view all HR processes as instruments to support the organisation’s overall mission, vision and values.

We make use of the existing processes and often transform them from mere administrative tools to actually drive development by integrating it in everything your company does and what your people do.

Bringing a development mindset into the performance appraisal

During the development and implementation process of the performance appraisal we look at how HR management strategies have been formulated, linking them with the competence management system. We also provide leadership training, revise recruitment procedures and the induction of new employees.

Building a development mindset rather than a focus that is judgmental has a huge beneficial impact on all areas of performance as well as on employee engagement and satisfaction. Consistent attention is required and for this to work, well thought-out, easy-to-use HR processes make for the best support system.

Green-Jakobsen will help you make this ongoing development mindset a reality by ensuring objectives are operations-based. We will ensure systematic revisits to agreed plans and targets in order to retain focus on development
