How can we develop the organization’s HR potential and fully embody its role as a “link” between employees’ needs for development and fulfillment, and an efficient, agile corporate governance structure?

Why an HR Diagnostic?

Companies often face major human resources challenges:

  • Recruitment, attractiveness and employer brand issues,
  • Difficulties in managing or implementing HR tools (HRIS, digital tools, etc.),
  • Lack of cultural cohesion, for example between several entities, departments or countries,
  • Support for special situations such as hypergrowth or crises, mergers or acquisitions,
  • Complexity of skill forecasting (GEPP),
  • The need to integrate CSR practices to align HR strategy with environmental and social issues,
  • Support for digital transition.

The aim of our diagnosis is to take stock of your organization and your HR challenges, to identify the quick wins to be implemented, to draw up a clear, prioritized HR roadmap to solve your problems, and to support you in an often wide-ranging mission.

Why Connection Leadership?

With over 1,000 projects to our credit, we are committed to supporting you at every stage of your HR transformation, from the initial audit to the implementation of our recommendations. Our holistic approach combines our HR expertise with our understanding of human behavior and relationships, to ensure lasting change.

Our four-step methodology

1. Preparation and general diagnosis

In this first phase, we give you a clear picture of your current situation. We start with a general audit of your HR processes, technological tools (HRIS, payroll software, etc.) and corporate culture. The aim is to provide you with an exhaustive picture of your practices and identify the first areas for improvement.

The aim of this phase is to provide you with a snapshot that will help you better understand your organization’s shortcomings and areas for improvement. This can be the starting point for prioritizing the issues to be addressed.

2. Qualitative interviews and collaborative workshops

Once the diagnosis has been established, we move on to the qualitative interview phase. These interviews, conducted with the main stakeholders in the diagnosis, enable us to detect hidden opportunities and explore work dynamics in greater depth.

We identify potential tensions between different departments or units, and propose solutions to improve cohesion. We explore the impact of cultural differences between Business Units on employer brand and talent retention. We gather information on HR processes, labor relations and work organization to propose targeted improvements.

The aim of this phase is to provide you with a clear roadmap based on team feedback, with action priorities identified to improve overall HR performance. During this phase we organize collaborative workshops to strengthen team cohesion and validate the corrective actions to be implemented.

Our active listening techniques reveal problems that are often underestimated or unexpressed, and our co-construction workshops directly involve your teams in drawing up the action plan.

3. Recommendations and action plan

This phase consolidates the results obtained in the previous two stages. We draw up a detailed action plan, taking into account the specific recommendations for each point addressed in the analyses.

The objectives of this phase are to harmonize management systems to centralize and streamline HR processes, standardize your HR practices, and strengthen the corporate culture to create a stronger sense of belonging, notably by reinforcing links between Business Units.

4. Tripartite review phase

The tripartite assessment is an essential step in taking stock of the actions undertaken and evaluating the progress made. This review is carried out in collaboration with your HR team and, if necessary, with an OPCO advisor, to ensure optimum follow-up.

The objectives of this phase are to measure progress in terms of HR performance, identify areas for improvement, assess the effectiveness of the tools and practices implemented, and adapt the roadmap. Once the actions have been deployed, it is important to assess their real impact on the organization. Based on the results, we adjust priorities and future actions to maximize the effectiveness of the HR transformation.

A crisis diagnosis and cohesion seminar

Crisis context: The head of the company, a large multi-site consulting SME, was unable to impose his ambitious growth vision on his associates. The company was split between sites following the leader’s wishes and sites following the other partners’ opinions. Two partners have even left the company.
What was the need?
Understand the consequences of the crisis situation, understand the feelings of employees and the “split”. Beyond understanding, there was also a real need to measure the situation, to gauge the proportions of the tensions. This diagnosis was the starting point for building a new organization and rallying people around a strategy. Aligning around this strategy and bringing people together took shape at a seminar.
The solution: An organizational diagnosis and a three-day alignment seminar
  • Interviews were conducted with a large number of employees representing the various departments.
  • A complete diagnosis was carried out on corporate culture, quality of life at work, organization and inter-team collaboration issues.
  • A first day of group movement and sports activities. An opportunity to share experiences of the first day.
  • A second day on team performance to learn how to work together. Inspiring and visionary speeches by HR leaders
  • A third day to review the mission, create the roadmap together and put the team into action.
