As an HR leader, avoid the HR kiss of death.    📌 Want more strategies to avoid the kiss of death… as a new HR leader? Check out "The New HR Leader's First 100 Days" at the link in the first comment below.

As our Partner, Tina Kastelic from Kompetenca d.o.o., points out, what's a best HR practice in one company might not solve problems in another. That's why we emphasize doing in-depth organizational diagnostics first. Only after knowing exactly what's not working and why is it not working, you can be strategic and choose the right HR practice in your situation.

Very hilarious video, I must say. For HR to really make sense and serve its purpose, it has to be HUMAN. While all of your HR processes and policies are planned and all rigid, please include humanity—simple, pure humanity—feelings for people. I know you want to have results, and you want your processes and policies to be all rigid, and you want people to comply. It’s actually the right thing to do, but have feelings for people. Always listen to your heart; it should tell you the right thing to do.

Couldn't agree more! "The need for recognition is a basic human desire. Failing to provide performance feedback to your employees is a major reason why employees quit or became disengaged. Employees need feedback to grow, improve, and perform at higher level." (Sharon & Barbara, The Essential HR Handbook, p. 60) #performancereview #performanceappraisal #humanresources

Some Friday's are for feedback and reviews. Let's hear from the Executive Director of HR Certification Centre, what she made of Karley Mettle handling the maiden edition of her HR Summit and Awards. And as you wrap up your productive week, get some feedback to help you level up. Cheers to a jolly good weekend! #fridayfeedback #reviews #testimonials #productivity #karleymettle #thevoicebeyondborders

"In the heart of a bustling office, the CEO stands tall at the forefront, a beacon of vision and direction. With a commanding presence, CEO engages in meaningful dialogue with the manager, their heads bent in discussion, symbolizing a partnership built on mutual respect and collaboration. Nearby, the HR representative listens intently, embodying the bridge between management and employees, adept at understanding the needs of both sides. Meanwhile, scattered throughout the workspace, employees are seen working diligently, empowered by a culture of trust and transparency fostered by their leaders. In this tableau of leadership, the CEO's guidance, the manager's stewardship, the HR's advocacy, and the employees' dedication intertwine seamlessly, creating a dynamic environment where every voice is heard, and every individual is valued—a testament to the power of effective leadership and nurturing relationships within an organization."

This video is showing why at DHL we put Active Leadership as a key attribute in Employee Satisfaction! 😄 Don't discuss with HR, talk to managers! 😁

Implementation

For HR practitioners: Stop saying “I'm in HR because I want to work with people”, and start saying “We are in HR because we drive business results, and we drive those results through helping people”

HR for the People—It’s Really That Simple. HR isn’t just about processes and policies; it’s about genuinely caring for people. Whether they’re employees or job seekers, treating everyone with respect and kindness should be at the heart of what we do. As HR professionals, we should: • Respond quickly to questions. Even if you don’t have all the answers, just letting people know you care goes a long way. • Keep improving the way we work. Since we’re dealing with people’s lives, it’s important to always look for better, more efficient ways to get things done. Kudos to all the HR professionals who understand that HR goes beyond the boundaries of work. 🙌🏻
