OUR HR PRACTICES
IN SHORT 360 degrees evaluation An HR tool primarily used as for evaluation tools in H&P’s HR system. It is an all-around assessment in written form in which all employees participate by equally evaluating one another. The results are presented in a plenary session once a year and in a more detailed manner during one-on-ones. 360 degrees is used to make PDP’s more precise and is one of the indicators for decision-making on promotions and salaries. Workplace Assessment The WA survey is conducted among all employees and management, covering about 50 questions based on those topics most crucial to internal development. It is used to verify, evaluate and revise management practices, internal communication, education and personal development, workplace conditions and overall workplace quality, and to assess the potential gap between proclaimed standards and corporate culture and actual employee perceptions, understanding and thinking. Results are presented in a plenary session once a year and management presents the resulting conclusions and measures that are incorporated into the business strategy based on WA findings. One-on-ones The basic one-on-one between the MB member in charge of HR issues and
each employee takes place once a year. During this conversation, the MB member presents the employee with all of his/her performance indicators during the past year. They jointly discuss set objectives compared to actual achievements. The details of 360 degrees and client input are also discussed. The immediate result of the one-on-one is the defined yearly PDP. Personal Development Plan (PDP) The PDP is a tool we use to continually plan each employee’s development within the framework of company’s needs, requirements and organizational development. They are written documents in which employees and the MB member in charge of HR agree on set objectives for the employee during a year, and the strategies and particular activities needed to achieve these objectives. Protocol Protocol is a database of daily working activities that H&P employees are obliged to fill in on a regular basis. Protocol is primarily used as a tool to document the time we spend on client work in order to create a base for our billing procedures. It is additionally used to monitor, analyze and evaluate employee time invested compared to the quality of work, company needs and opportunities for employee development. It is one of the tools used to measure employee profitability.
