💡 HR Tips & Tricks
Tip of the Day: Choose one HR process every quarter (e.g., onboarding, performance dialogue) and appoint one team member as “Ritual Remixer” whose mission is to redesign the ritual for that quarter—simplify, reorder, humanise. This keeps HR processes fresh and aligned with evolving workforce expectations.
Trick of the Day: After any HR interaction (policy communication, benefits launch, performance discussion), send a very short follow-up (“.5 feedback”) within 48 hours asking one question: “What did you expect, and what did you actually experience?” Use that insight to improve communications and processes continuously.
