“Skills Shortage Set To Drive Up Wages”
“Poor Outlook on Job Creation Front”
“Employers Set To Start Hiring”
No matter what the future holds the one certainty is that all employers should be doing their best to keep their best and brightest employees motivated and highly engaged. Achieving this means getting the HR balancing act just right.
1. Get the HR fundamentals right – employment contracts, remuneration plans, health and safety and other HR practices should be well written, well executed, well communicated and able to stand up to legal scrutiny
2. Get day to day HR functions right – career development plans, training plans and organisational structures need to be completed and clearly communicated to all staff
3. Get the focus right - HR needs to support the business’ strategic direction and ensure it is clearly communicated across the organisation. Structures then need to be put in place to consistently reward and recognize the behaviours and achievements which support and reinforce these objectives.
The EI Group helps employers achieve success across all three of these critical HR functions and can provide clients with the people, expertise and solutions required to get their HR platform right regardless of the uncertain employment market.
Well said — Given the current economic climate, businesses these days must be vigilant in their efforts to increase and maintain employee engagement across all levels of the organisation. And beyond those working in HR, this especially applies to the frontline managers who have the most direct, day-to-day influence over their people’s engagement levels. HR managers must ensure that they’ve provided the necessary support and training to this group so that they can build employees who are connected and committed to the business.
