Whitepaper: The role of HR in workplace innovation
The report looks at issues including job demands, feedback on performance, job security, training and development, and reward.
Key findings:
- Reward is identified as a policy that might lead to innovation. However, reward only works when it positively affects employee behaviours and when the right conditions are present.
- There is limited evidence of HR driving change through the alignment of practice with innovation as a business goal.
- HR can contribute to innovation activities along a wide spectrum. From ensuring its policies and practices facilitate, not hinder, innovation, to helping to ensure that the conditions are right for innovation to flourish.
