At the Dutch Red Cross, the belief is that in times of need, no one should be left behind. Culture development is always part of the strategy of the Dutch Red Cross
To better align with the purpose of the Dutch Red Cross and its adhocracy culture, it was essential to reduce the time employees spent on HR administrative tasks. This approach aimed to increase employee engagement by freeing up their schedules for more impactful work.
The Dutch Red Cross optimized its HR processes, fostering a more efficient and engaged workforce.
We initiated an audit, gap analysis, and project plan focused on design and implementation, with employees at the center. It gave us immediate insights on what to focus on and what can be done later one in the project.
Employees were engaged through intense communication and group sessions. Despite initial confusion, there was a sense of relief within the organization. The ability to manage basic personal processes independently was highly appreciated. Access to personal digital files eased administrative burdens, especially for managers.
