Frequently Asked Question

HR has developed a multitude of metrics to measure ROI hence the strategic role that HR now plays - HR adds value in terms of Engagement, Retention and Productivity and this is all measure via metrics

HR was primarily seen as a cost centre and the value was not measured - we now measure this value and see the strategic impact through the metrics discussed above

HR have a number of AI tools available to use, those that assist in Recruitment through streamlining resumes, to Learner management systems, to payroll systems being made more efficient but AI cannot replace the human interaction and impact that HR makes

No, organisations created performance management systems that are unique to their environment and enhance their culture - some organisations have changed the name of Performance management to Performance enablement to create a more positive environment.

This is a process and you have to commit to a long and detailed path that includes a values alignment exercise and gets leadership buy-in, it starts from how you recruit to every form of communication in your organisation and most importantly your leaders need to commit to the process

The 2 basic elements are: most importantly, Trust and then secondly Feedback - organisations that have high levels of trust and encourage a feedback culture are high performing

Firstly, you need ask why you are having an engagement survey? What is the purpose, then you need to consider what you will do with the information, if you ignore repeated requests, people will disengage and not complete the survey and finally, make sure it is truly anonymous so that there is no fear of retribution.

Remuneration packages are currently being individualised and focus on the values of the organisation - if the organisation is focused on sustainability, then this is reflected in the remuneration package through offering volunteer hours as paid for etc - companies should not do a "one size fits all" approach to remuneration and consider the talent they are trying to attract
