Dear HR Professionals,

In today’s newsletter, we will be discussing some common themes in human resource management and identifying new trending ideas that can be strategic and effective for your organisation.

Firstly, the theme of employee retention and transition is crucial for HR professionals. With the current trend of the “Great Resignation” evolving into workers waiting for better opportunities instead of resigning abruptly, it is important to have procedures in place for smooth transitions when employees leave the business. This includes conducting exit interviews to understand the motivations for resigning and implementing handover templates to fill the gap in expertise and skills. Understanding why employees leave and taking measures to prevent it can greatly enhance employee retention and overall business success.

Secondly, the theme of benefits and their impact on the bottom line of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) is a trending idea in human resource management. Voluntary benefits are becoming increasingly important for attracting and retaining top talent in today’s competitive job market. The upcoming free webinar on “Voluntary Benefits: A Big Bang For Small But Mighty HR” will provide insights into how voluntary benefits can maximize your offerings while minimizing your workload and driving employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity, especially in times of inflation and rising medical costs.

Lastly, the theme of HR compliance and ethical practices is critical for every organisation. A systematic, repeatable process for interviewing and hiring is essential for boosting success in hiring “A” players and weeding out the duds. Additionally, maintaining ethical standards in today’s work environment is vital for influencing company culture and fostering a work environment that honors fairness and confidentiality.

In conclusion, it is important for HR professionals to stay updated on these trending ideas and themes in human resource management to effectively manage employee retention, benefits, compliance, and ethical practices in the workplace.
