Fifteen years ago, when employees just felt lucky to have jobs, HR could operate on a “take it or leave it” basis. Now, with the U.S.’s transitory, demanding workforce, the balance of power has shifted. Attracting talent is difficult, and retaining top people is even harder. Workers have become “employee consumers” able to pick their workplaces like clothing off a department store rack. To effectively attract and retain employees, HR needs to adapt to their consumerist tendencies.
Most HR professionals understand that HR communication can be challenging. From performance reviews to PTO requests, you need to collect a lot of information from your employees (which often requires tracking down individuals and sending countless reminders), but you also need to avoid over-communicating so you don’t clutter their inboxes with HR emails.
An engaged and aligned workforce is the key to ultimate business success. Increasingly, employees are demanding authenticity and a healthy culture as part of their work experience. One of the key ways to ensure that experience is to foster a supportive, safe workplace that allows employees to thrive.
