💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Introduce a “Decision-Free Monday” policy for non-urgent matters. By minimizing decision fatigue at the start of the week, employees can ease into their tasks, reducing stress and increasing focus on strategic work.

Trick of the Day: Use the "90-9-1" rule to improve workplace participation in feedback sessions. Assume that 90% of employees observe, 9% contribute occasionally, and only 1% are highly engaged. To increase participation, introduce anonymous feedback tools, incentives for engagement, and structured discussion formats.
