Example of BPMM-HR in Use
Recruitment Optimization at a Technology Company
A consulting firm used BPMM-HR to assess the recruitment processes at a technology company. They identified the processes were at level 2 maturity, with inconsistent practices across business units. By implementing centralized applicant tracking and structured interview methods, they moved the client to level 4 maturity. This reduced time-to-hire by 30% and improved quality of hires.
Strategic Workforce Planning at a Retail Company
BPMM-HR helped consultants evaluate workforce planning at a retailer with over 100,000 employees. The assessment showed level 1 maturity, with no integrated approach across stores. Consultants created workforce analytics models and long-term scenarios to move to level 3 maturity. This boosted store productivity by 5%.
Performance Management Overhaul at an Insurance Company
The insurance company had level 2 maturity for performance management. Consultants used BPMM-HR to redesign processes, implement continuous feedback cycles, and link goals to rewards. This level 4 approach increased employee engagement scores by 15%.
