Your HR department has been processing new hires the same way for the past 20 years. It seems to work, so why change it? Have you heard of the Pot Roast Story? It’s about a girl who watches her mom make pot roast. Her mother always cuts the end off before putting it in the pan. The girl wonders why her mom does this because the pot roast would fit just fine. When she asks her mom, she says she doesn’t know why; it’s just what her mom always did. So, the girl asks her grandmother, who says the same thing. Finally, she asks her great-grandmother, who explains that she cut the end off because it didn’t fit in her pan.
This story reminds us that processes should be reviewed and updated regularly. Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it’s the best way now. If the girl’s grandmother had asked her mom why she cut off the end, she might have stopped wasting that portion. You should be asking yourself, is there a better way to process new hires and reduce costs?
