🏷️ Why HR Leaders Should Be Brand-Savvy?

Brand image and recognition is not just a marketing strategy, rather every employee has a role in building an organization’s brand. As HR headers are at the center of all people-related operations, they have a big role in shaping and maintaining a brand’s image. 

💻 HR Trend Spotlight: More Information About Company Benefits

A recent survey revealed that 73% of employees desire more education about their company benefits, but HR departments are struggling with administrative burdens that hinder their ability to meet this need. As organizations continue to expand their benefits, employees are left in the dark about how to maximize these options. HR professionals must find a balance between managing day-to-day administrative tasks and providing employees with the necessary resources to fully understand and use their benefits.

💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day:  Implement a quarterly "job swap" program where employees can switch roles for a day. This allows them to gain a better understanding of different functions within the company and encourages empathy and collaboration.

Trick of the Day: Use color-coded feedback forms after meetings or workshops. This gives employees a quick, visual way to express their satisfaction or concerns, making it easier for HR to identify areas for improvement.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mediation offers a valuable alternative to disciplinary actions, leading to better communication and conflict resolution.

  • Early intervention through mediation can reduce the long-term impact of disputes on team morale and productivity.
