Build a Commercial HR Function

Two women having a meeting in an office.

Overview

Transform your People & Culture management into a modern, commercial engine for success. This focused engagement targets the HR function, specifically its operating model, capabilities, technology, rewards, and ways of working, ensuring it is fast, credible, and delivers measurable value. The aim is to align the commercial HR function with the business, preparing it to confidently lead the organization into the future with clarity.

Who It’s For

  • CHROs and CEOs who need HR to be more commercial and credible
  • Businesses that have outgrown their HR model, or need it ready for growth and an AI-enabled future
  • Boards wanting confidence that HR capability can support the strategy and scale

How It Works

  • Assess where the function adds value, and where it leaks time and cost
  • Redesign the HR operating model, roles and service around the business
  • Modernise systems, reward and ways of working, with AI applied where it adds value
  • Build the team's commercial and technical capability to run it and keep improving

Key Outcomes

  • A redesigned HR operating model and service model, in place and working
  • Business partners who are commercial, influential and trusted, advising leaders and driving change with a genuine seat at the table
  • HR systems that lift productivity, cut service friction and speed up transactions, so people get back to work
  • A lower cost to serve, with investment focused where it adds most value
  • Reward, performance and people insight that leaders actually use
  • Compliance, governance and workforce risk managed, with the assurance boards and regulators look for
  • A commercial, future-ready HR function, and a team with the capability to run it

Get Started

Spotlight

A commercial HR reset. The regional HR function was fractured, costly, and lacked the capability to support the business model. I rebuilt it around low-cost shared services and specialist centres of expertise. Cost-to-serve fell, time-to-hire dropped from 90 days to 33, and engagement rose to the highest in the group.
