💡 HR Tips & Tricks
Tip of the Day: Reserve a two-hour window each month where employees can walk in or join a short video slot to ask HR questions they would not raise in a group setting. This opens a space for early warning signals around workload, team friction or unclear policy issues, helping HR resolve concerns before they grow.
Trick of the Day: Before sending a policy update or internal note, ask two employees outside HR to read it and underline any part they find confusing. Adjust the message based on that feedback. This improves clarity, reduces follow-up emails and gives HR a simple way to check how people read written guidance.
