Why should you be process mapping your hr operations?
Only when you truly understand a process can you improve it - to save you time and money!
Making changes without truly understanding how a process is working today, and why, can lead to costly mistakes. It can also create conditions that make it difficult for staff to work effectively and often creates further problems.
If you do not measure a process, you will not be able to manage it effectively and if you cannot manage a process, you cannot improve it.
It has been estimated that people working in organisations can waste about 15 – 20% of their time by re-doing things that are wrong, chasing outcomes without results, querying incomplete instructions, doing other people’s jobs and so on.
Process mapping enables a business to:
- Establish what is currently happening, how predictably and why;
- Measure how efficiently the process is working;
- Gather information to understand where waste and inefficiency exist and their impact on the customer or partners;
- Develop new improved processes to reduce or eliminate inefficiency.

Our most FAQ's on HR Process Mapping
Here’s some of the most common questions we get asked about this service.
Why is process mapping important for HR?
Process mapping is essential for HR as it enhances operational efficiency by providing a clear visual representation of workflows. By identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies, HR can streamline operations and improve service delivery. Additionally, process mapping fosters better communication and collaboration within teams, ensuring that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities. It also aids in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements by standardizing processes, reducing the risk of errors, and providing a framework for training new employees.
How does Dekela approach HR process mapping?
Dekela employs a collaborative and tailored approach to HR process mapping. We begin by conducting an initial consultation to understand your unique HR needs and challenges. Our team works closely with your HR staff to gather information about current processes, workflows, and pain points. We then create detailed process maps that visualize each step in the HR workflow, including inputs, outputs, and key stakeholders. After mapping, we provide recommendations for optimising these processes, focusing on enhancing efficiency and compliance while addressing any specific concerns you may have.
What benefits can I expect from HR process mapping?
- Improved Efficiency: Streamlined workflows can lead to faster turnaround times for HR tasks, enabling your team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than administrative burdens.
- Reduced Errors: Standardising processes minimises the risk of mistakes, ensuring consistency and compliance in HR operations.
- Enhanced Employee Satisfaction: Clear processes lead to better communication and understanding among employees, improving their overall experience and engagement.
- Informed Decision-Making: Data gathered during the mapping process provides valuable insights that can guide HR strategy and resource allocation.
- Compliance Assurance: Well-documented processes help ensure that your organisation adheres to legal and regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of penalties or legal issues.
Can process mapping be applied to specific HR functions?
Yes, process mapping can be tailored to address specific HR functions such as recruitment, onboarding, performance management, training and development, and employee relations. Each function has its own set of processes, and mapping these allows organisations to identify specific areas for improvement. For example, mapping the recruitment process can help identify inefficiencies in candidate screening or interview scheduling, while mapping the onboarding process can enhance the new hire experience by ensuring that all necessary steps are completed seamlessly.
How long does the process mapping take?
The duration of the process mapping project can vary based on factors such as the complexity of your HR processes, the size of your organisation, and the level of detail required. Typically, a comprehensive process mapping project may take several weeks to complete. Dekela will provide a customised timeline during the initial consultation, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the project scope and duration. We aim to work efficiently while ensuring thoroughness and attention to detail.
Is process mapping a one-time service or ongoing?
While process mapping can be conducted as a one-time service, it is highly beneficial for organisations to review and update their process maps regularly. HR processes can change due to evolving business needs, legal requirements, or industry best practices. By establishing a schedule for periodic reviews, your organisation can adapt to changes effectively and continuously improve your HR operations. Dekela offers ongoing support and consultation services to assist you with these updates as needed.
