💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Create a “skills pulse” check every quarter. Ask each team member to rate their confidence in key skills anonymously. Use this data to adjust training and uncover silent gaps.

Trick of the Day: Replace “year in review” with a “role evolution map.” Let employees chart how their job has changed and what tasks they want to take on or off their plate. It’s a fast way to realign responsibilities with interests.
