2. 1- HR Is Not Just for Paper-Pushing
• Some of employee don’t know the different between what HR does and what people expect HR to do

Generally speaking I would have to say no. Specialist HR has worked with several businesses to change this
culture. There some businesses where HR departments are very accessible but these tend be exceptions.”

can prevent you from making the costly mistake of hiring or promoting the wrong person.
Are you ready to move forward? Let’s check:

think about precedent

Communicate outcomes of investigations/discipline issues, or unsatisfactory behavior or work quality
Avoid information trickle down:
• Slow distribution, misplaced data, and lost information

Be consistent, repeat often Assume nothing Effective communication is a two-way process:
Ask for feedback and respond accordingly

• Strong team engagement is built on a culture of honest feedback
• Improving performance requires both specific goals and specific feedback
What is the right frequency for feedback?
In conclusion: Best practice feedback happens monthly

12. 10-Lack of Motivation and Retention Tools
How do we grow and keep great staff?
5 Ways Employees are motivated:

- Compensation and benefits
• Properly train and continue to mentor/coach employees

13. 11- Supervisory/management training

business.
• Invest the time in training your managers on essential management skills; managing employee
expectations, providing constructive feedback, writing and delivering performance reviews, setting
and measuring goals, and managing poor performance up or out.
• Confident and capable managers tend to lead more productive and effective teams.

14. 12- Absent or Poorly executed Evaluation system
Do we have systems in place to evaluate, coach and reward employees?
• Seek out an evaluation system that fits your company
• Be clear and transparent about employee expectations and how those will be evaluated
• Share evaluation timeline with employees
• Give enough time to properly complete evaluations
• Disregard irrelevant factors
• Evaluator skills: Objective, analytical, decisive
• Discussion without documentation equals misunderstandings.
•
Discuss and document only the facts
• Don’t be a people-pleasure: Timely address issues,
evaluate objectively and document
• Don’t forget the high performers: Evaluations
should incentivize and reward

15. • your employees are the most valuable assets of your company. No employees directing the
activities of the company, your company is not able to innovate, grow and evolve. Your HR
department is, or should be seen as much more than a non-productive department,
responsible for decreasing the risks and limit damage.
• Unfortunately, human resource departments have repositioned constantly the company’s
eyes on Last times. Now, HR has to prove its worth by demonstrating their ability to think
innovation, solve complex problems, and at the same time, keep the focus on people in the
company and what they need.
• With a worldwide movement growing that supports the well-being in the workplace, HR
leaders are positioned to demonstrate the value and business benefits to humanize the
organization
