This is an interesting article about the role of HR, a topic that often seems to come up! HR's broad remit can result in us being seen as a "Jack of all trades", doing lots of things but lacking depth. This article argues that HR should be focusing on increasing the low productivity rates in many UK companies. Management skills are so crucial and HR are so well placed to help improve this and yet so many people suffer at the hands of poor managers and productivity is the first casualty. There is a great link in the article to some of the initiatives that could positively impact this. We will be talking about the role of HR as part of our webinar of Increasing HR Visibility next Wednesday. Link in the comments if you want to join us. https://lnkd.in/gWxd_PRH

My POV: The biggest determinant of the level of employee engagement is how managers treat their staff (aka leadership). Too many organisations are not apportioning their budgets and activities based on data. A simple ChatGPT search will tell you what are the top factors that impact employee engagement and the weighting %. #HR #leadership #leaders #employeeengagement

Offering a competitive salary is important for attracting and retaining top talent, but it is not the only factor to consider. A recent report found that promoting workers from within can also be a powerful #retention tool. https://hubs.ly/Q02hbJWd0 #HR #TotalRewards #EmployeeEngagement

How do HR professionals view their jobs? 🤔 Well, according to a recent survey we conducted… ➕ Over one in four (28%) HR professionals said they thought about leaving their jobs most or all the time ➕ HR professionals based at larger organisations are more likely to feel overworked ➕ Older workers are more likely to view their employer more favourably than their younger counterparts ➕ Most HR professionals aren’t happy with their pay or career progression opportunities ➕ Less than a third (30%) of HR professionals think they have clear objectives and receive meaningful feedback on their work ➕ Regular training isn't the norm for many HR professionals See the full results here: https://lnkd.in/eFTiwwnS #Ciphr #HRNews #HRCommunity

Financial wellbeing will become a part of more and more organisations strategy over time, I still think we focus too much on the symptoms with drives like pay-on-demand, and the focus will eventually switch to education and access to tools to prevent rather than cure problems. Here HR magazine have covered a lot of the current dynamics around the initiative. I'm interested in your thoughts? Do we truly understand the challenges and are current solutions solving the root cause? What are you seeing? #payroll #hr #financialwellbeing #financialwellness
