support the annually recurring processes such as employee interviews, holidays, employee surveys, salary audits, development and skills initiatives, and more. In order for the HR cycle to be as efficient as possible, the processes are integrated with the overall business strategy, which is then translated into the HR strategy. <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#f3f0f0″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” overflow=”visible” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

What is included in the HR cycle?<\/h4>\n

The HR cycle thus integrates business strategy, HR strategy, organizational culture, tasks, role distribution, team design, HR planning, and recruitment planning. In other words, successful implementation of the HR strategy means the promotion of the business goals.<\/p>\n

But what is included in the HR cycle? And how do you design and implement the processes?<\/p>\n

A good way to divide the HR cycle is after the four quarters. It then becomes more clear and easier with the planning. During the first quarter, it can be a matter of planning how the holiday will be arranged. planning for the second quarter advantageously includes salary mapping and salary revision in order to draw attention to salary differences and set new goals for the coming year. Now is also a high time for the wage talks to take place.<\/p>\n

The third quarter includes planning for the autumn activities and ensuring that staff takes their holidays. The employee interviews must be carried out and therefore the time planning is of great importance here so that they can be carried out according to plan. In this work, it is important to support the management prior to implementation. Quarter four ends the year through a follow-up of the employee goals and planning of the upcoming competence initiatives. Here, the overall budget for the coming year is also worked out and HR sets goals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” css=”.vc_custom_1695812786198{padding-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 3% !important;padding-bottom: 3% !important;padding-left: 3% !important;background-color: #f3f0f0 !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/5″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” overflow=”visible” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”7588″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/5″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” overflow=”visible”][vc_column_text]\n

Reflections from an HR expert<\/h4>\n

The HR cycle is still a very simple and clear way to plan the year from an HR’s perspective. However, today we tend to talk more often about the Employee Journey and how HR can secure a great employee experience in the best way possible – which forms the base for planning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”part2″][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” overflow=”visible”][vc_column_text]\n
