💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Choose one HR challenge each month (e.g., onboarding clarity, manager check-in frequency) and assign a rotating HR team member to lead a two-week “Shadow Sprint” with frontline staff. The goal is to test ideas quickly, gather feedback, and surface practical improvements without full-scale rollout.

Trick of the Day: After major HR announcements (policy change, system launch, benefit update), send a “mirror-mail” to a small, randomly selected employee group the next day asking: “Was this clear? If not, what part needs more context?” Use these responses to adjust FAQs, internal comms or follow-up sessions—ensuring transparency and catching misunderstandings early.

Resource of the Day

Body hygiene problems in the workplace can quietly disrupt morale and productivity. A coworker with strong body odor, bad breath, or visibly unclean attire can affect client impressions and team comfort. While not every instance calls for HR involvement, serious or persistent issues often do. Experts suggest addressing the matter directly but tactfully—maintaining professionalism and empathy. Following clear steps and focusing on facts rather than personal judgment helps resolve such matters swiftly and respectfully.

Event of the Day

Join leading CHROs and HR executives at The Gartner HR Symposium, from Oct 27-29 at Orlando, to address the evolving human-AI workforce, build stronger performance foundations, and prepare for rapid shifts in skill demands shaping the future of work..
