traditional companies organizations need to be fast flexible and digitally empowered to
succeed. However too many companies are stuck with siloed compliance-driven HR processes that
work in opposition to the business rather than supporting it. This results in the view that HR
is slow and out of touch. However Agile HR shows that this doesn't need to be the case. It is
a practical guide written specifically for people professionals on how the HR function can
develop agile processes and practices that save time boost performance and support overall
business goals. Covering every aspect of the HR function from people processes ways of working
and HR services to organization design operating models and HR teams Agile HR is an essential
guide for all HR practitioners wanting to make their HR practices agile and drive business
performance but don't know where to start. As well as guidance on how to deal with resistance
manage a backlog and deal with constraints there is also invaluable guidance on how HR can
prioritize effectively and assess which activities to pursue which to develop which to rework
and which to abandon in order to achieve continuous business improvement. Supported by case
