Happy HR Birthday to me ... 25 years ago! So much has changed in that time. Back then, we did not use email to communicate (it was around, but not used regularly). We used the phone, a lot, and also typed up memos and put them in little envelopes to send via DX! We did not have laptops, so never worked from home. We got our HR advice from a bunch of Croner Employment law books that sat on a shelf (mostly collecting dust). Updates would come in the post every year with changes. We were called "personnel" rather than HR. Wellbeing, employee Xperience and Diversity and Inclusion were not discussed. We wore suits to work!

🎉 Let’s celebrate Kathryn Safford, Hello Alice’s HR leader, on her work anniversary! In honor of this milestone, she’s generously sharing her top HR tips that you can apply to your small business. Whether you’re considering expanding your team or already have a bustling payroll, Kathi’s wisdom is invaluable. Here are her best insights, straight from the expert herself: • “I love humans! Choosing the right talent, developing that talent, and ensuring that those talented individuals receive the recognition are important ingredients in a high-performing team.” • “When evaluating candidates to join your team, trust your gut instinct; when you’ve found the right fit, trust that fit - even if they don’t check the typical boxes.” • “Being ever conscious of the development of your high-performing team is greatly linked to a high-trust work culture.” • “Employees who feel appreciated and have a sense of purpose in their work tend to be more engaged, motivated, and productive.” Let’s give a round of applause to Kathi for her dedication and wisdom by dropping a messages of congratulations in the comments below! 👏

Additional days off from work is still not such a common benefit among employers in Poland. Here you can learn how this benefit works in Coca-Cola HBC. And how it is in your workplaces?

Just before the weekend: Premium Plus appreciation post incoming Ever since I joined the company 3,5 years ago I could feel they were putting in the effort to create more than just a bunch of employees. Everyone is screened not only on what they already know but also on who they are, what they can become, and what they bring to the table. Both professionally and as a person. I was employee number 7 and this week we welcomed Rafael Duarte, number 30. Yet the company hasn't changed a bit. If anything, there was an even bigger focus on people. Our onboarding process, a week at HQ in Belgium, is kind of unique because you get to know the team in a formal and non-formal way. It is the best way to immerse new joiners immediately in our culture. All of this focus on people and culture (shoutout to Ana Luísa Santos) makes P+ probably the best company I could work for. The trust, freedom, and personal approach are things I value, and the fact that HQ is just a bike ride away is of course a big plus (much like the flag of Switzerland). To others, we might sometimes look like a disorganized bunch with too many parties, too many branded sweaters, and too many selfies but all of this is essential to us 😎 It wouldn't be Premium Plus without it. So, thanks to selfie king Kurt Pinoy and Thomas D'Hoe 🎯 for putting your faith in me some years ago, thanks Thomas Verschoren for introducing me, and a big thanks to the whole team for being who they are and being a part of Premium Plus' DNA. #premiumplus

Have you ever stopped to consider the immense impact that genuine recognition can have on your team? In an industry as demanding as senior living and skilled nursing, recognizing the hard work and dedication of our team members is not just a nice-to-have, it's essential. It's about more than just saying good job – it's about acknowledging the challenges they overcome, the compassion they show, and the difference they make in the lives of our residents every single day. So here's a challenge for us all: let's commit to identifying and celebrating at least one specific achievement or quality in a team member each week. Whether it's through a formal recognition program, a personal note, or a shout-out during a team meeting, these moments of appreciation can transform workplace morale. Who will you recognize this week?

So honored to be apart of the IP Brief 16th Volume this year. Please look forward to my first article on the blog coming soon!

The gap we bridge excites me!!!! This happened a while back and was wondering when we'd share... this news is music to my ears. Those in this space understand how important absorption is. And finding a perfect host employer is key... We deliberately partner with small businesses rather than big corporates. We understand what they are trying to build and we want to grow it with them.. We could easily collaborate with well-established companies, but it will sell out our mission... Because we are clear on this one thing: we Grow People. Grow Businesses! One intern at a time. One business at a time. It's a marathon this, not a sprint 😉 Did you get to listen to this conversation: https://bit.ly/4bgXqNI Care to hear your thoughts...
