Hacking HR

Rest is self-care. Rest is good. Rest is self-love. Rest is a necessity. Rest is good mental health. Rest is wellness. Rest is being well. Rest. Rest. Rest. #mentalhealth #selfcare #HackingHR

Today is International Self-care Day and at Hacking HR we have always expressed how vital self-care is. It is, in fact, an absolute necessity (never a luxury). Self-care involves actions and behaviors that enhance our overall well-being and contribute to our personal health, happiness, and longevity. It's the art of taking an active role in protecting our own well-being and happiness, particularly during periods of stress. Unfortunately, we are bombarded with fake, unreal, sometimes ridiculous, definitions and examples of self-care. It is very easy to confuse indulgent behaviors with genuine self-care. While occasional indulgences are part of life, true self-care is about making choices that support our long-term health and well-being. Self-care is essential not just for immediate relief but also for ensuring our efforts are sustainable over time. It's about building a lifestyle that allows us to operate at our best, both personally and professionally. Rest and recovery are two pillars of self-care that are often misunderstood. While rest refers to relaxing and taking breaks to alleviate immediate physical and mental fatigue, recovery is about engaging in activities that restore your energy and health over the long term. Effective self-care incorporates elements of both, helping to ensure that we're not just catching our breath but also rebuilding our resilience. Here we contrast common misconceptions of self-care with practices that truly contribute to rest and recovery. It highlights the difference between short-lived pleasures and sustainable health and happiness. Understanding and practicing true self-care is a journey towards a more fulfilled and resilient life.

Creating a code of conduct requires thoughtful planning and inclusive participation to ensure it resonates with everyone in the organization. Our latest blog post offers a detailed step-by-step plan for writing a code of conduct. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/46wdTNv #organizationalculture #humanresosurces #compliance #codeofconduct #HR

Equity in the workplace involves recognizing and addressing systemic barriers, biases, and historical disadvantages that certain groups or people may face, and providing specific and targeted resources, support and tools to help them achieve success. There is nothing divisive about equity. Imagine these groups at work: single parents; employees who are taking care of their aging and/or ill parents; people with physical disabilities; neurodiverse people --- they can't all be (just) treated "equally", because they don't need the same support or tools. They need to be (also) treated equitably. Maybe a single parent needs flexible working hours, and perhaps a person with a physical disability needs specific support to access the office building. Do you see anything wrong with that? We hope your answer is "no, there is nothing wrong with that". That's equity. Equity is not the same as equality. While equality means treating everyone identically, providing the same resources and opportunities to all, equity recognizes that people have different starting points and needs. Equity focuses on providing tailored support to achieve fair outcomes. Equality assumes a level playing field, while equity acknowledges and addresses existing imbalances. In essence, equality emphasizes sameness in treatment, whereas equity strives for fairness in results. So why is equity the cornerstone of diversity, inclusion, and belonging? Simply put, these concepts cannot truly exist without equity. Equity addresses the root causes of underrepresentation and exclusion by tackling systemic barriers that prevent certain groups from fully participating and succeeding in the workplace. It enables meaningful representation by providing fair opportunities for diverse talent to enter and advance within organizations. Equity creates the psychological safety necessary for inclusion. When people feel they're treated fairly, they're more likely to contribute their unique perspectives and feel included in the workplace community. This sense of inclusion, in turn, fosters a genuine feeling of belonging – where all employees can bring their whole selves to work and feel valued for their contributions. Without equity, diversity initiatives struggles to create lasting impact or retain diverse talent. It's not enough to simply hire a diverse workforce; organizations must also ensure that all employees have equal and equitable opportunities to succeed and advance. This is where equity plays a crucial role, sustaining long-term change and creating an environment where diversity flourishes. While diversity, inclusion, and belonging are important goals, they cannot be achieved without a strong foundation of equity. By prioritizing equity, organizations can create a workplace where everyone has a fair chance to succeed, contribute, and feel that they truly belong. This not only benefits everyone, but also leads to more innovative, productive, and successful organizations.

How can you use Generative AI tools to help you write a code of conduct? AI can streamline the drafting process by providing structured content, ensuring consistency, and helping with legal compliance. AI tools generate text based on specific prompts, analyze legal standards, and offer suggestions to enhance clarity and inclusivity. This results in a comprehensive, well-rounded code aligning with organizational values and legal requirements. Conversely, different prompts may require specific input data based on the context, such as country-specific regulations, organizational values, etc. Here are some specific prompts to help you draft or update the code of conduct for your organization. Improve your AI skills! Join the certificate program "Mastering the Strategies and Applications of Generative Artificial Intelligence" starting in September.

Culture is NEVER an HR thing. Culture is an EVERYONE's thing. If you are in HR make sure to never let anyone at work make you the sole responsible for all things culture. Get leaders, managers and employees involved or else communicate the risk of letting it be just an HR thing. Building a great culture is a collective effort.
