Many of us tend to agree that it is exciting to work in a fast-pace industry. You have a larger chance to obtain feedback from your clients much faster in a fast-pace industry. Agility is one of the positive attributes to your behaviour on a professional level and you can build agility through putting yourself in a fast-pace working environment.
However, everything has two sides. The flip side of this is that you sacrifice depth in your thought and action and will eventually find youself as a very speedy batelor. But did anybody tell you that HR is a field of reflex like badmington or kendo?
What can be done to help your HR Business Partners to escape from this easy trap? This is through assigning a task and a project. When you consolidate a people strategy as Head of Human Resources, you can ask your Business Partners to draft a people strategy. This is not an easy task. If your Business Partner finds the challenge too hard, you can organise a 1-hour meeting to go through the business strategy and jointly translate the business strategy into people strategy. If the industry moves fast, you may wish to run this exercise twice a year. You may wish to ask them to review their people strategy 3 months after to see if there is any significant gap between the strategy that was built and the situation surrounding the business. If your Business Partner spends 3 years with you, they will be able to perform people strategy review twelve times.
