As the weekend approaches, we unearth part three in the series 🕰️Starfish People HR Time Capsule: Unearthing HR's Hidden Gems 🔍 Buckle up, HR enthusiasts ❕ We're taking a trip back to 1897 - the year that changed workplace documentation forever. 🚀 Did you know that the very first employee handbook was created by the National Cash Register Company ❔ That's right, whilst most of us were still getting about by horse and carriage, NCR was pioneering the way we communicate company policies ❕ This groundbreaking document outlined company policies and employee expectations, setting the stage for the handbooks we know (and love to update) today. 😉 Imagine the excitement of being handed that first handbook... or perhaps the confusion❔ "What's this newfangled 'handbook' malarkey❔" 🤔 It's fascinating to think about how far we've come since then: ⏭ From printed booklets to digital portals ⏭ From rigid rules to flexible guidelines ⏭ From one-size-fits-all to personalised employee experiences Yet, the core purpose remains the same: clearly communicating expectations and fostering a positive work environment. What do you reckon were some of the policies in that first handbook❔ Any wild guesses❔ Share your thoughts below! 👇 #starfishpeoplehrtimecapsule #employeehandbook #hrhistory #workplaceculture #handbook #hrtrivia

"Ready for a fun dive into HR's quirky past? 🕰️💼 Welcome to 'Starfish People HR Time Capsule: Unearthing HR's Hidden Gems'! Each week, we'll share a fascinating nugget of HR history that'll surprise, entertain, and maybe even inspire you. From Edison's soup interviews to the birth of 'Human Resources', we're digging up the stories that shaped our field. Here is the first in our weekly series: The Birth of "Human Resources" Did you know that the term "Human Resources" is younger than many of us might think ❔ Back in the swinging 60s, while The Beatles were taking over the airwaves, a quiet revolution was happening in the world of work. The phrase "Human Resources" was coined, marking a significant shift in how businesses viewed their employees. Before this groovy change, "Personnel Management" was the go-to term. But this wasn't just a case of fancy new lingo – it represented a fundamental change in perspective. The switch from "Personnel" to "Human Resources" reflected a growing recognition that employees weren't just cogs in the machine, but valuable assets worth investing in and developing. This shift laid the groundwork for many of the employee-centric practices we see today. From professional development programs to comprehensive benefits packages, the ripples of this change are still felt in modern workplaces. Next time you see "HR" on a door plaque, remember – you're looking at a piece of relatively recent history that changed the world of work ❕ What do you think about this evolution❔ How has it impacted your work experience❔ Share your thoughts below❕ #humanresources #hrhistory #personnelmanagement #starfishpeoplehrtimecapsule
