Effectiveness

HR Managers and Business Partners need internal consulting skills. We know how to build those.

Those in sales and human resources have critical roles in helping organizations achieve their overall business outcomes.

PPS International Limited has expertise in working with sales and human resources professionals to address their specialized development needs.

Our founder and CEO is a former HR executive, with understanding of the unique pressures and role that human resources play in ensuring talent is available and ready to meet the challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s workforce. HR Business Partners, HR Managers and those in COEs who are successful have all of the skills that other professionals in the organization require such as communication skills, decision making and managing projects, but also HR-specific competencies, such as:

  • Creating HR strategic plans that support the organization’s strategic plans including strategic planning of staffing and other needs now and into the future.
  • Ability to implement initiatives that build common culture.
  • Conducting demand planning and needs assessment to uncover gaps in workforce engagement and development.
  • Coaching executives, leaders and employees to higher levels of performance.
  • Managing conflict between internal groups without taking over or taking on the responsibility of solving the problems.
  • Developing career paths and counseling leaders and others within the organization on career options.
  • Handling performance management planning and implementation using specific systems and policies that build accountability.
  • Overseeing and managing hiring practices, compensation packages and employee assistance programs.
  • Dealing with union-labor relations.
  • Tracking employee data for legal and regulatory purposes.

For over 20 years, we have partnered to assess the skills of HR Managers and Business Leaders using our customized Lockwood Leadership Assessment 360-feedback instrument.
