Happy Friday, everyone! As we wrap up the week, I wanted to share some of my HR Thoughts with you. Firstly, have you revisited your benefits package lately? It's important to ensure that your benefits are benefiting your employees in the best way possible while also working within your budget. Consider conducting a comprehensive benefits survey and looking at what other companies in your industry are doing. Skill-sharing internally can also be a great way to build your team's skills and culture. Internal lunch and learns can be a major confidence booster for presenters and allow colleagues to learn from each other. Building confidence and culture, while adding new skills for your team is a win-win-win! Lastly, if you're not attracting your ideal candidates, it may be time to rethink your job descriptions. Take a critical look at your language and ensure that it accurately describes the role you're hiring for and doesn't create any biases. Remember, the job description is the foundation of attracting the right candidates. What are some HR Thoughts you have as we head into the weekend? Share in the comments below! #HR #benefits #jobdescriptions #skillsharing #teamwork #peopleops #peopleandculture

Glassdoor recently published its new Best Places to Work ranking based on how US-based employees felt about their workplaces.

What's the biggest indicator that your company is a great place to work in? When people have stayed there for a long time. You see, there are many, many opportunities out there, and some offer even more benefits than your company can give, but a happy workplace and a positive environment trumps all else. When you engage with your employees, take care of their needs, be kind and considerate to them, and offer them opportunities to learn and grow, they will stay with you, even if another company offers them a higher salary package. So what's your company's average employee tenure? 6 months? 1 year? 3? If your average tenure is low, it's an indication that maybe, just maybe, you need to re-examine your workplace's culture and environment.

How do you attract talent if you can't compete with top salary competitors? In a world where skilled professionals can choose where they want to work, employers must adapt. It's no longer about just filling positions; it's about becoming a destination employer. Here's how you can make your company irresistible in today’s competitive landscape: 🙌🏽 Emphasize Purpose: Today’s workforce seeks more than the next payslip. They want to know why your company exists and how they’ll make a difference. Create a strong, clear purpose and connect every employee’s work to it. 📈 Foster a Growth-Oriented Culture: Invest in learning and development. Make it known that your organization is a place where careers flourish. Whether through mentorship, skills training, or leadership development, offer employees a path forward. 👨👩👧👦 Offer Flexibility as a Standard: Remote work and flexible hours aren’t just perks; they’re expected. By offering true flexibility, you demonstrate trust in your team and create a culture of autonomy and balance – a huge draw for top talent. 🚺 Build an Inclusive, Diverse Workforce: Companies that embrace diversity thrive in creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. Go beyond lip service and actively create an environment where every voice is valued and different perspectives are celebrated. 🤩Highlight Employee Well-being: Show your commitment to physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Employees are more engaged and loyal when they feel cared for. Invest in well-being initiatives that support a holistic approach to health. 👏🏽 Make Recognition Part of Your DNA: Recognize and reward your employees regularly. A culture that celebrates success and acknowledges contributions publicly is one that retains its top talent. In a talent-driven market, becoming an employer of choice means listening to what employees value most and building a culture that reflects those priorities. When your people feel empowered, appreciated, and aligned with your purpose, they’ll be your greatest ambassadors. What’s your company doing to stand out?

💥 According to research, 22% of new hires leave within the first 45 days, a crazy statistic that highlights the importance of your company presence, community and culture and honesty about the challenges your business faces. It also highlights the importance of ensuring the candidate and company are the right match at day 0. We're very proud of our statistics, at Maara over 80% of our senior* placements are still in position more than 24 months later (the others have been hired in the last 2 years!). Whilst we have a range of replacement policies to reassure our clients, at Maara we've never had to invoke these, we believe in putting the thought and care in throughout the process, applying strict methodology and thorough mapping of the entire marketplace to ensure that our statistics remain this high and that our clients see and value the difference. As calculated by Deloitte VP Katherine Jones, replacing an employee within the first 12 months costs 3 x their salary, we'd rather save our clients this to invest in aspects of their business growth and employee recognition. 💡 A very interesting article from HRGrapevine outlining how businesses can help improve employee retention once the onboarding process starts, and obviously being the different partner that we are at Maara we are always happy to advise and support on this part of the process as well (* management level and above)

If you're thinking of making a career switch, you may want to check out these industries. Glassdoor recently released its Best Places to Work report, including a list of the 100 best large companies to work for based on current and previous employee reviews. Among the top 100, some industries were represented more than others. Glassdoor looked at which came up the most to decipher the best industries to work for as well.

Recently I had a discussion with one of my colleague, who resigned from his job but the next organization that hired him were constantly forcing to join on immediate basis, but after 1 year the same person resigned with immediate effect, the company blacklisted him. Is this Fair? So I decided to just contribute why shall we consider ending the culture of Notice Period. The traditional practice of serving notice periods upon resigning from a job has been a longstanding tradition in the professional world. However, as we navigate through the evolving landscape of work and employment, it's crucial to question whether the conventional notice period is still a relevant and effective practice.   Challenges with Notice Periods: 1. Productivity Downtime:   - Traditional notice periods often lead to a decline in employee productivity as individuals may disengage mentally or emotionally from their roles while serving notice.   - The redundant period can result in wasted resources for both the employee and the employer. 2. Stifling Innovation:   - Employees on notice periods might feel hesitant to contribute innovative ideas or take risks, fearing any potential fallout during their remaining time with the organization.   - This can hinder the overall creative and innovative potential within the workplace. 3. Impact on Morale:   - Prolonged notice periods can have a negative impact on team morale, causing uncertainty and anxiety among colleagues who may be unsure about the future.   4. Talent Acquisition and Retention:   - The lengthy notice periods can deter potential candidates from considering job opportunities, especially if they require immediate availability.   - Employers may find it challenging to retain top talent when competitors offer more flexible onboarding timelines. Ending the culture of notice periods requires a paradigm shift in the way we approach workforce transitions. By embracing more dynamic and flexible practices, organizations can foster a work culture that is not only adaptable but also conducive to continuous innovation and employee satisfaction. As we move forward, it's essential to strike a balance between ensuring a smooth transition and promoting a workplace environment that values agility, creativity, and collaboration. Feel free to Contribute. #noticeperiod
