It’s Friday morning, the end of the work week. Imagine yourself sitting at your computer analyzing employee data. The software keeps crashing and it just doesn’t have the capability you need any longer. You have a big problem. What’s the solution? An RFP (Request for Proposal).
HR departments conduct RFPs regularly across a broad spectrum of HR functions such as benefits, compensation and recruitment with vendors who supply goods and services to support everyday business needs. This course will guide you through the often overwhelming yet rewarding process of implementing an RFP. It’ll show you how to conduct one from start to finish.
As an HR practitioner, you will eventually be involved or possibly manage an RFP process. The overall learning objective is to not only help you understand the process but also enable you to successfully lead it!

Duration: 1:26
Your RFP process is now almost complete. It’s always important to close an initiative like this with some celebration and reflection. Work with team members
to host a catered luncheon. Go over what did and didn’t go well. Take time to capture key learnings for applications to future projects. Celebrate
your success.
Remember RFPs are pretty routine. I know they may seem overwhelming and sometimes, they can be. As the HR Leader, you are in the best position to identify a system for supporting and implementing HR activities that are so vital to your organization. Involve key stakeholders. Get their buy-in. Communicate as often as possible and be ready for resistance. With an organized, well-defined approach, you can achieve a successful outcome. I hope you enjoyed this course and wish you the best of success as you continue to pursue a successful career in HR.
