INTELLIGENT CROW Vs. HR DEPARTMENT: Once upon a time, in a bustling city, there was a clever crow named Charlie. One scorching summer day, Charlie found a jug with a little water at the bottom, just out of reach for his beak. Instead of giving up, he picked up small pebbles one-by-one and dropped them into the jug. Gradually, the water level rose, and Charlie quenched his thirst. In a similar vein, the Human Resources Department in a thriving company acts like Charlie, solving challenges through resourceful strategies. When faced with complex issues, HR Professionals use their intelligence to gather and implement solutions bit-by-bit, just as Charlie used stones to raise the water level. This story underscores the importance of resourcefulness and problem-solving skills, qualities essential in both the animal kingdom and the corporate world. Any comments/inputs, please share below.

Happy Friday Eve! Happy #throwbackthursday! In 1901, John Henry Patterson was one of the first business leaders to consider employee wellbeing a prerequisite to success. During this time he hired a woman to run his HR department {Lena Harvey Tracey}. John gave Lena 5 guiding principles for success (Namely HR for Humans). 1. Treat people well & they will treat you well. Be square with them. 2. Do not try to take advantage of employees & do not try to get the last cent’s worth of energy out of them. 3. It pays to be good; it pays to help themselves in every moral & physical way & to also give them every possible opportunity of advancing. 4. The basis of good product labor, or workers who go forth willingly & enthusiastically as a team. 5. Let every worker have the opportunity to make complaints & suggestions for betterments, reward them adequately & make it impossible for a man to be fired on account of a personal dispute with the foreman or other subordinate. It’s great to see many of these original guiding principles still being used within HR departments in 2024! #themoreyouknow #knowledgeispower #trades #humanresources

Happy Tuesday LinkedIn! Every week I send out some kind of tip about employee relations and avoiding disputes / grievances - everything else that can make leadership and HR roles really horrible. If you're signed up you've just received my "dance like nobody is watching" tip, and next week I'll be explaining how grapefruits can be very dangerous 🍋 😱 Employee Relations isn't about policies, processes and laws - it's about people and how you deal with all the unexpected challenges they bring - it's why I love what I do, and why my company is called Pragmatism (UK) Ltd! If you're not receiving these tips and you have FOMO just let me know with a comment, an emoji (or even better tell me about the most bizarre case you've had) and I'll add you to the circulation. #mediation #leadership #hr (Yes, I know the emoji above is a lemon - it's the closest I could get to a grapefruit 😀)
