Employee relations data holds valuable insights into how your workforce behaves, engages, and performs. But many organisations are missing out on these insights because they’re still using tools like Excel, Google Sheets, and basic ticketing systems. These outdated tools not only create extra admin work but also increase the risk of errors and data inconsistencies. A recent AdviserPlus study found that more than a quarter of large companies with over 1,000 employees still rely on Excel and Google Docs for data analysis. This shows a real need for better investment in specialised employee relations case management technology. Using spreadsheets to manage employee relations cases is time-consuming for HR and managers, and often misses important trends that support better decision-making. It’s time to rethink how your organisation handles employee relations data. To learn more, check out this blog: https://hubs.la/Q02LVSx10 #EmployeeRelations #Technology #HRTech #Data

Investing in digital transformation to manage employee relations can make a real difference in managing performance, behaviour, disciplinary actions, and improving gaps in managerial capabilities.

Our 'Employee relations 2.0' research paper shows that while HR leaders recognise the benefits of digitising employee relations functions, they still face significant challenges in getting stakeholder buy-in.

As hybrid work environments become more complex, new employment rights are proposed, and mental health concerns rise, HR leaders and line managers are experiencing increased pressure. Managers, who are often the first point of contact for employees, are crucial in providing compassionate support and ensuring compliance with regulations. This support is vital for improving employee experience, retention, and performance. To effectively handle these challenges, it's essential to develop people managers into strong leaders. This is especially important for those who have transitioned into management roles without formal training, often referred to as 'accidental managers.'

In the past year, job ads offering "a little flexibility" around working hours have more than tripled—a clear sign that the workplace is evolving. Rebecca Fox, HR Technical Consultant at AdviserPlus, points out in the People Management Magazine article below, that employers are increasingly adapting to meet the changing needs of their teams. This shift isn’t just about keeping up with trends; it’s about staying competitive in a talent-driven market.
