Human Capital Strategy and Practice
First, we learn about your organization. Through interviews, focus groups, and document review, we learn about your values, competencies, and culture. With knowledge and data in hand, our consultants work with your senior management teams, HR leaders, and other stakeholders to achieve strategic goals as they relate to human capital management. We can help your organization prioritize and focus objectives, mindful of the many borders and cultures you may span. Our consultants will help you identify, assess, and support talent, develop acquisition and retention strategies, effective performance management tools and processes, succession plans for key positions, and change-management strategies.
Talent Management
Develop and retain high-performing and high-potential talent
Employers of various sizes and industries are managing increasingly diverse workforces across a complex web of cultures, geographies, and economic environments. HR organizations are challenged to identify, assess, develop, and retain high-performing and high-potential talent wherever it is needed around the globe.

Effective HR Policies and Programs
Define the qualities of an effective global leader
ORC works with clients to determine core global leadership characteristics that are based on business strategy and company culture and benchmarked against our worldwide database of best practices. Via interviews, focus groups, and surveys, our consultants identify the skills, expertise, experiences, and outlook the organization will need for business and operational success. Our program designs factor in the talents a leader needs to succeed at each level and to thrive within varied geographical and cultural environments. We also can help determine key leadership competencies and define preferred methods of developing global leaders.
HR Organizational Structure
Optimize your HR organization
An HR organization should work in concert to hire, move, develop, and promote high-potential global leaders. ORC assesses your current HR organization to determine the optimal structure to meet this objective. Such a review considers your business, key markets, expected revenue streams, and culture; the advantages and disadvantages of centralized and decentralized structures; and the desired positions, levels, and reporting relationships, with a focus on how decision-making and communication will occur.
Communications
Information, understanding, engagement
Whether you need turnkey services — from strategy development through implementation — or a distinct capability to augment your internal communication function, our consultants can help you communicate proactively with your employees. We can create strategic targeted print and electronic materials, conduct employee research, facilitate employee meetings, and even train your staff to deliver the right messages. After learning about your culture and your needs, we can help you promote understanding of important employee programs and contribute to higher levels of engagement within your workforce.
