HR Acuity Launches Industry’s First ER/Q, Employee Relations Maturity Model

HR Acuity, the only human resources SaaS solution provider for employee relations case management and investigations, recently announced its launch of the Employee Relations Quotient or ER/Q, the industry-first employee relations maturity model.

ER teams will be able to quickly establish a baseline for their current level of maturity based on the team’s purpose, processes, and influence within the organization by using the ER/Q model. Once a baseline is set, the teams are able to identify the closest maturity profile and actionable suggestions for progress.

HR Acuity simplifies the ER/Q model for leaders to speed up maturity and reach their goals, whether they have an HR team that does everything or a separate ER function with multiple experts. The ER/Q model consists of four levels, which help identify where the organization stands and plan the actions accordingly.

“As the importance of employee relations skyrockets, ER professionals must have the ability to articulate both their vision for and the value they contribute to the organization.” Teams with higher maturity levels communicate better with a variety of business stakeholders. As a result, they spend their time sharing insights and influencing policy conversations instead of putting out fires. “Our new ER/Q is a perfect tool to help teams establish a realistic picture of where they are and feel confident about the steps they need to take to achieve their vision and improve their value,” said Deb Muller, HR Acuity’s founder and CEO.
