If your goal is to grow your business and maximise profit, it might be worth taking some time to ensure you have everything in place from a people perspective. For instance, do you have the following: \ A clear business plan (or key strategic objectives) that is communicated to and understood by your employees \ Clearly defined roles and responsibilities for every person in the business \ Formal flexible working arrangements in place \ Sound values that are role-modelled by your leadership team If you fail to have these and other fundamentals in place you risk frustrating employees. Not only may they leave to find these things elsewhere, they are likely to become increasingly non-productive. Non or low productivity costs you money and means you will end up with a bigger overhead than required. This is just a small selection of the points for consideration set out in our comprehensive HR Healthcheck guide.

~Thursday Poll~ Further to a "right to disconnect" rule coming into effect in Australia earlier on this week and talk of the UK government following suit, we want to know what you think. The lines between work and personal life have become increasingly blurry in recent years, and so the debate over the right to disconnect has gained traction. Do you think this should be a legal right, or should it be handled by organisations internally? Let us know 👇 #RightToDisconnect #HR #EmploymentLaw

Interim Senior HR Advisor opportunity in Fife. If you're strong in ER and this sounds of interest please contact Laura Brownhill to arrange an informal discussion 👇

A "right to disconnect" rule has come into effect in Australia, offering relief to people who feel forced to take calls or read messages from employers after they finish their day’s work. The new law allows employees to ignore communications after hours if they choose to, without fear of being punished by their bosses. More than 20 countries, mainly in Europe and Latin America, already have similar rules in place. Will the UK soon be following suit under the new government? https://loom.ly/R6RRcd4 #HR #People #WorkLifeBalance #Productivity

In a historic first, we now have four generations (Baby Boomers through to Gen Z ) currently employed within the same workforce. However, business leaders have admitted struggling to communicate and collaborate with the vast age range.

Organisational Change and Restructures Many of the conversations we are having with business leaders are focused on organisational change and the steps that are being considered to enable their businesses to be sustainable for the long term. When the term ‘organisational change’ is discussed, thoughts generally turn to headcount reduction; and though we are in uncertain times, not all companies are looking to reduce headcount in the first instance. We are currently supporting several of our clients with organisational change projects. Some examples of this include streamlining processes and looking at other efficiencies which could be made to current ways of working, reviewing and redesigning the organisational structure to ensure the right structure, skills and succession plans are in place to facilitate future growth, as well as some more radical restructures to the shape and size of a business. If you’d like to discuss your current situation with one of our HR and organisational change experts, get in touch with us at [email protected] today. We can help you explore options and hopefully open your eyes to some possibilities you might not yet have considered, with our pragmatic and commercial approach. #OrganisationalChange #Restructures #Change #HeadcountReduction #Redundancy
