Five HR Resolutions For The New Year
It’s 2019, and as cliche as it might sound to fomenting some big list of resolutions for the year ahead, there are some areas where we could all use a little help. That gym contract. Those investments. And, of course, your human resources and how to get the most out of your work environment.
Join us, today, as we bring you our pick of five great HR resolutions for 2019, and get ready to get the most out of (and give the most back to) your staff this year.
Develop A Better Understanding Of Your Workforce
In the modern workforce, diversity is no longer something to just keep in mind. It’s the absolute rule, and an HR department without a good idea of who its staffers are and what their needs are is dead in the water.
In 2019, push forward from simple demographics, and use analytics to understand your workforce better. What benefits are they using, and what could you offer to make their lives better (and give them a better reason to stay loyal in the long run).
It’s no secret that a better understanding of your workforce has a direct impact on your bottom line. In 2019, develop your staffing insights so you know what you can offer and how to make it cost efficient for a better overall fit for your unique needs.
Integrate Data Into More Of Your Decisions
Knowledge is power, and there’s no better source than good, old-fashioned data. With information on the various arms of your business, you can bring about more effective changes based on an accurate understanding of how much it’s costing you.
Don’t just pick a benefits package due to pressure and don’t not choose one because you’re afraid to commit. Use data insights to make better calls on your benefits strategy, and you’ll find advantages you probably never even considered.
Develop A Full-Picture Of The Year Ahead
As in any other area of business, you can’t just jump into your HR process without a solid idea of what you’re planning, moving forward. Start with a simple outline of the important dates, both for your business and your workers, and make a point of diarising them.
Do some comparison shopping, as well, by spending some time catching up on trends in human resources so you can adapt to unexpected changes or come up with pioneering new solutions. Just a few minutes of your time can give you insights to set you up all the way through 2019.
Improve Your Employee Management
Entropy is dangerous for one very specific reason: most of the time, you don’t even notice it happening. Ask yourself one question: how long has it been since the last time you changed up your performance review process? Because, if you never have, there’s a good chance the process has been improved on and without any significant changes, you could be going yourself a disservice.
It’s important to move toward consistent and more regular conversations with your employees, so you have a bead on their goals, development, and efficacy.
Continue To Smooth Out Your Payroll Processes
The payroll process is central to any successful office, and you need to have a solid grasp on it if you’re going to maintain a happy staff contingent. Many businesses make the mistake of assuming their employees will forgive small slips in their monthly payment. The truth is, for most people, the buck stops at their paycheck, making it one of the most important processes in your office.
The good news for you is that improvements to your payroll process can also save you time, in the long run. If you can find a way to improve your process in 2019, you can dedicate more time to improving your business in other ways. Bringing in professional payroll services is a great way to achieve this goal.
