For years, Groupmapping has been helping organisations to get a grip on complex processes. So also around the theme of hiring. By conducting the conversation with the right people and making choices, we are making the step from ad hoc decisions to strategic and conscious hiring. With insight, support and a practical toolkit we bring the direction back into the organisation.
Why Grip on Rental is essential for (large) organisations
The hiring of staff, specialists and agencies is now indispensable. And it is good, because organisations are increasingly involved in the complex projects and need access to specialist knowledge. In addition, the labour market changes and there is more need for flexibility. We also see that the management of the hiring process is lost because of the hectic nature of the daily delusion and size of organisations. If you do get a grip on this process as an organisation, you move from ad hoc decisions to strategic and conscious hiring. This creates structure, insight, conscious choices and cost savings.
In 2024, Groupmapping supported a large drinking water company to gain more control over the hiring process. well thought out process This gives the organisation a better understanding of the hiring with a tool that supports the decision making process. toolkit helping managers and employees to make choices about hiring. This gives them insight into the different definitions, options, but also the guidelines and policies that exist for each situation. direction on this subject and the move towards strategic hire policy.
The consequences of lack of direction
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that you no longer have a grip on your processes. Business runs along each other and decisions are taken quickly and with little consideration. It causes uncertainty in the organisation and also risks. Costs are running up quickly and the wheel is reinvented several times. Besides losing the overview and costs can be incurred quickly, it can also feel like lack of transparency, which leads to frustration among managers or employees. In short, reasons not to let it come to this.
Bringing people along through change
One question we often hear is: "But where do you start?"
The first step is to identify all those who are involved in the issue, for example the hiring managers, legal and departments such as purchasing, and only by having the right conversation with the right people, listening carefully and making choices together will we get support for the changes that are needed. An important part of this is to get clear together: What exactly do we mean by hiring? Without that common definition, confusion arises. By clarifying those concepts, you create clarity and uniformity.
After that, it is important to understand the whole process together and to implement it together. This can vary from writing the policy, going through all the systemic processes, but also the supplier portfolio and the partners involved. The decisions made at this stage cannot be seen separately. Individual choices only affect the whole and real change occurs when everyone participates. This way changes are not only conceived, but also carried on and realized. Groupmapping helps organisations to create this connection.
"And then?" - The translation into a useful toolkit
But how do you take everyone into the choices that have been made and ensure that all knowledge is well protected and findable? At the time, we developed a practical (online) toolkit. Team managers or employees are guided through the toolkit on the basis of their specific situation. Through the statements and questions they determine their ideal approach and in the meantime find the definitions and policy guidelines that apply to the situation in question.This gives managers and employees who are dealing with hiring issues insight and concrete tools to make the right decision within the common framework.
The result
An organisation that is not dependent on ad hoc decisions or individual choices, but in which everyone works from the same understanding and with the same principles. As an organisation you have a grip on hiring and you take back the direction.
