We tend to overcomplicate things.
It takes courage and wisdom to move towards simplification.
Apex HR is on a mission to simplify the complex world of HR. If there is one area of business that could really benefit from simplification, it’s HR.
We can help organisations by making things simpler, more accessible, and user-friendly.
HR jargon, cliched buzz words and HR BS just doesn’t impress anyone.
Just take a few minutes to review typical HR documentation – it’s often lengthier and more complicated than it needs to be. It often feels punitive, cold, and legalistic.
We can have the most well-written complex strategic plans, analytics, KPIs, metrics and data but none of this drives any better outcomes or creates positive change in our organisations.
The realisation comes that ultimately – only people can ever do these things. Everything we do should be enablers for people to deliver great work.
So, we don’t ever really
– Drive better performance outcomes
– Manage change
– Create a winning strategic plan
– Grow a business
We instead
– Inspire people to be better
– Understand that change is a constant, it’s not something that can be ‘managed’
– Create a healthy environment for our people to flourish
– Enable people to develop, learn and grow, and they then in turn grow our businesses
HR can help to lead the way by embracing authentic people-centred principles. HR can be the social proof that this approach works.
When we put people first and keep them at the heart of everything our organisations do, we create the conditions for success.
It sounds simple – and that’s because it is.
Over-complexity never got anybody anywhere. It takes huge amounts of time and money to administer the bureaucracy that accompanies complex internal organisational processes and systems. The simplest, most effective strategy we’ll ever create is one that humanises our working environments, where we place people intentionally and passionately first in all that we do.
