Optimizing your Hire to Retire process
How to make Hire-to-Retire process more effective
Every company is unique, and so are their onboarding procedures. But there is one thing in common: it entails dozens of systematic activities between identifying the need for an employee till the end of their employment.
Defining Hire to Retire Process
Starting with the finding potential employees, hiring them and continuing through their career lifecycle until retirement can be seen as a repeatable process of planning, building and managing the whole workforce. This process starts with workforce planning and progresses through hiring and onboarding, workforce management (including employee data, time tracking, and payroll), and employee off-boarding.
Purposes of creating this process:
- Recruiting or hiring
- Compensation
- Onboarding and training
- Employee engagement and development
- Performance evaluation
- Termination
Hire to Retire Strategies:
- Talent Acquisition: The Applicant Tracking System (ATS) has revolutionized the recruitment process. HR executives are realizing that hiring is both a science and an art, and they're leveraging their applicant tracking systems in conjunction with objective data like psychometric and skills-based exams to make hiring decisions. Zoho Recruit is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and recruitment software designed to streamline the hiring process for staffing firms and corporations.
- Talent Management: Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a software application that connects human resources and information technology. Though it made onboarding easier, most new workers are still swamped with forms to fill out and data to submit on their first day. Consider acquiring this crucial information ahead of time, or specify which materials they will need on their first day to finish the setup process. HRIS can assist with this procedure, particularly if all that is required is a simple shift in schedule. Many services also provide guided online forms that can be completed from any device, anyplace.
- Employee engagement: This is one of HR professionals' top goals, but it can be difficult to figure out how to track and enhance something intangible like engagement. The learning and performance management systems you put in place can provide insight into employee performance in real time. A business can performance data into real-time employee engagement statistics by using a people-centric strategy.
Ways to make Hire to Retire more effective:
- Create a job description and post a Job opening
- Define the criteria for shortlisting potential candidates
- Define the process for communication with candidates and interviewing them
- Define the process for issuing offer letter and getting back a confirmation
- Create an onboarding process for new employees
- Define process for performance evaluation
- Define Payroll process (employees and government)
- Define employee exit process
Tools for the Process:
- Zoho Recruit - For small to mid-sized organizations, Zoho Recruit is a web-based recruiting tool. Resume processing, automated job board posting, customized corporate jobs pages, resume storage, and interview scheduling are all included in the software's comprehensive applicant tracking system (ATS).
