Creating value
The HR functions play an increasing role in enhancing an organization’s performance and creating value. However, they are now faced with two major challenges:

Sample Project
Improving HR processes for the subsidiary of a major bank
Equinox Consulting assessed the HRIS used by the subsidiary of a major bank, and developed an action plan to bolster HR performance and more clearly identify its responsibilities. This project had three goals:
- Improve data accuracy
- Streamline data collection and processing by reducing the number of different sources
- List all HR performance indicators and reports needed to support the company’s operations and provide valuable information to the Executive Committee
Equinox consultants started with a complete review of the company’s HRIS, and then used the findings to develop an effective action plan tailored to the needs of the organization.
After a successful first stage, Equinox consultants naturally carried the project through to completion, assisting the client with implementation in two areas:
- Individual management (formalizing and sharing procedures, improving reports, and implementing a separate HRIS project)
- Overall management (process development, reliability testing, review and improvement)
