Inscrivez-vous à la Weekly ici Your grandmother has told you many times: the best way to solve a problem is to talk about it! This is also what HBR tells us: hiding a problem can have devastating effects on organizations. Employees need to speak up and express their difficulties in order to better address them collectively. Total transparency requires courage, but above all a relaxed and serene atmosphere. It is therefore important for leaders to set an example and to do everything possible to make their employees speak out. ...

INSEAD Knowledge shows, however, that this widespread attitude is most often counterproductive. Instead, adopt “relational humility”: by asking questions to your team, you will be showing an appreciated humility because you are recognising their competence on the subject. The result is performance and commitment. “Magnificent”, isn’t it? ...

Our expertise
Akoya is a strategy consulting firm, dedicated to human resources in companies. We assist our clients in the transformation of businesses and organizations, the exploitation of HR data and innovation in HR processes and tools.
Workforce transformation
Strategic workforce planning
While it is a pure strategic human resources exercise, Strategic Workforce Planning is first and foremost a virtuous process that promotes continuous dialogue between HR, business lines and finance management, in order to anticipate as accurately as possible the evolution of business lines and the workforce and skills needs of an organization.
See moreOrganizational Development
Should it be to analyze its performance in the frame of Organizational Reviews or to make it evolve during Organizational Design projects, Akoya has built a simple and pragmatic approach to organization based on 3 pillars: organizational vision aligned with business issues, analytical sizing linked to a detailed understanding of activities, decoupling structural and individual issues.
See moreCompetency mapping
Changing business models, digitalization, internationalization, automation... so many evolutions that are changing the skills needed for today's and tomorrow's jobs. Without the right skills, there is no chance of achieving your strategic vision. From identification to sustainability, including the acquisition, evaluation and mastering phases, the challenges related to skills are numerous. It is essential to clearly set out your targets and objectives before taking any action.

Data structuring
Volume, Velocity, Variety: Big Data and its 3Vs open up a wide range of opportunities. Even though the HR function cannot yet boast of handling terabytes of data, it has much to gain from professionalizing the management of existing data. It will gain credibility with its interlocutors and monitor better its activities.
See morePeople analytics
People Analytics, or the intelligent use of data, is based on a simple equation: the identification of a problem that is compatible with data analysis, combined with a great volume of quality data. Not an end in itself, People Analytics provides the human resources the insight needed to understand and solve some of the organization's major challenges, such as collaboration or the performance of new ways of working.

Talent acquisition
The changing expectations of candidates - in search of a real "experience" to live in their professional environment - coupled with the growth of HR Tech, which can help streamline old processes in an original way, are leading HR professionals to transform the traditional recruitment process.
See moreTalent management
Until artificial intelligence relieves us of work, it is still the human factor that remains the success factor of organizations. Identify, attract, evaluate, develop, retain: establishing a talent management policy does not tolerate improvisation. On the contrary, it is by anticipating both the needs of the organization and those of the talent that the subtle balance underlying a high-performance structure is achieved. And it is by involving all available forces that we move from a simple process to a new virtuous state of mind.

Humanly sustainable restructuring
In the current post-Covid-19 crisis context, companies are rethinking their economic and operational models, with strong budgetary constraints. In response to these challenges, restructuring projects are likely to increase. Human Resources teams have a role to play in these operations, alongside the Finance and Legal teams, to limit the human impact as much as possible.

Albert
