6th November 2014 admin 12 Comments

1. Understand why the employee is having issues. Communication is the first step. Incentives or rewards will not engage problem individuals if they are struggling in other areas, so identify the root of the problem. Why is the employee struggling or not living up to expectations? Is it a lack of skills that can be solved with training? Is the employee’s personality creating obstacles to learning or improving? Are personal problems creeping into the office and causing performance issues? 2. Know the corporate culture.

10 Best Practices for Your Human Resources Department

26th August 2014 admin 4 Comments

1. HR is a potential employee’s first impression Human Resources departments should strive to not just be super efficient and organized with new hires, but should really think of themselves as the first ones to welcome a new employee and make a positive impression. Taking care of a new employee/intern’s unique needs is an important responsibility that should be done carefully. 2. Put it in writing and set expectations upfront Don’t assume new hires know what your organization expects. What may appear simple to you is foreign to the next person. So develop a straight forward employee handbook or manual to address the basics including job descriptions, attendance expectations, e-mail communication etiquette,…

How to Create More Value From Employee Surveys

10th May 2014 admin 2 Comments

CEOs often proclaim that “people are our most important asset.” Yet many HR departments find themselves unable to play a significant part in translating these words into reality for several reasons: Some HR departments rely so heavily on bench-marking that they fail to customize their strategies to their organization’s unique circumstances, thereby almost guaranteeing they will, at best, stay average. Others get too caught up in the flavor-of-the-month programs. Many are so busy putting out fires they have no time to address what’s truly important – drivers of business results. Despite its potential, too often the only thing that comes out of the annual employee engagement survey is a big…

admin 3 Comments

Happy Employees are considered to be the most productive. When it comes to a new employee’s journey with an organization, recruiting and on-boarding are top priorities in laying the foundation for human resources in making a new team member happy. But sometimes companies focus too much on making a great first impression, overlooking the opportunity to validate how new employees are feeling in their job in that initial period.

How to Create a Culture of Succession Readiness

5th November 2013 admin 1 Comment

Let’s start with a quote “Failing to plan is planning to fail”. Every day for the next 18 years, 8,000 Americans will turn 65. That demographic includes today’s 47-year-olds. The AARP estimates only about 37 percent of companies have considered how this brain drain will affect them in the next five to 10 years. The situation is not very different in India where retirement/superannuation age for central Government and Public Sector Undertakings employee is 60 years. A big chunk of employees are going to depart from the organizations in next few years. The skills leaving the workplace will create a knowledge gap that is hard to fill. Therefore, leaders must…

23rd September 2013 admin 1 Comment

Whether we like it or not, office politics is everywhere. Turn on the TV, any channel really, and there it is: politics. Get up and go to work, and there it is again: politics. Despite its initial stench of nastiness, betrayal and lies, politics is actually a skill – and a worthwhile one. Seldom have leaders or managers in any business or organization gotten to where they are without playing some form of office politics. And if they managed to get by without doing so, it’s likely they got lucky, some experts say.
