The Role of Creativity in HRM
Creativity is the essence of success. You cannot afford to be creative by accident. Organizations are in great need of greater responsiveness to a rapidly changing external environment and for great innovation, not just in products but across the organization. The organizations that consistently work on innovative HR practices create a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Creative HRM may not be a solution to all corporate ineffectiveness, but it certainly can influence and fuel the thought process to change the mindset that uplifts people to do better by displaying openness to new ideas and tolerance for ambiguity.
Challenges and Misconceptions in HR
In certain quarters, there are accusations against HR that it is the function that does not allow or encourage creativity to be in place and prosper in organizations. It is also said that they are used to saying NO to any new thing or proposal instead of working as a partner to determine the best course of action. But it is not true all the time. Because HR guards internal policies and the current status quo, it may be difficult for them to become the center for creativity, whereas creativity or innovation usually challenges the status quo. In such a case, HR has to change its mindset for implementing innovative approaches. Along with acting as a process owner, HR should also go a long way in building rapport with internal stakeholders to encourage them to experiment with things they think might work, providing enough support to ensure there are no uncontained risks. This will lead to rapid learning, happier managers, and a more competitive organization. HR has to create a collaborative mindset for innovations with all positivity so that all employees are encouraged to open up with new ideas.
Support from Leadership
In organizations where CEOs have changed their mindset to support HR to get involved in creativity, like in recruitment and selection, learning and development, rewards and recognition, career planning, compensation and benefits, performance management, leadership and development, and organization structure, have proved to be ahead of time and showed the way to others to follow.
Future Challenges for HR Professionals
For the new breed of HR professionals in this era of high competitiveness, becoming an innovative people's partner is a challenge in the near future. To become more valuable, HR has to be very fast in learning, accepting, evaluating, and implementing creative HR practices.
