Your Human Resources department should be paying well
It’s a given that your business should be offering competitive pay rates to your extremely talented employees. After all, they work hard so they deserve a check that reflects that. But here’s a quick question. Have you ever worked somewhere where you felt like the amount of money you were paid didn’t reflect the amount of effort you put into work every day? It’s not the best feeling in the world. If some of your employees are feeling that way now, then they could potentially feel as if they’re being taken advantage of.
Always make sure that the pay equals out for each employee. You’ll instantly notice a change in your employee’s work ethic and performance if not. Oh, let’s not forget about the benefits that your business offers as well. They should be tip-top and cover the essential health benefits. The bottom line, keep your rates competitive with your industry.
Your HR department should offer support
Support. It’s something we all need whether it’s from our family, friends, co-workers, or supervisors. It truly helps to make a difference in someone’s performance in life, especially at the workplace. Your HR department should always offer support to your employees. Especially any new hires that your business has. New hires need positive and motivating support. Make them feel as if they can truly make a difference in your business while also making them feel welcome. We’ve all been the new person at work before. Think about all the feelings you get when you are the new guy/gal at work. It kind of makes you antsy, right? Your HR determent should offer training to each new hire as well as provide informative new hire orientations. This will help them transition into their jobs easier and make them feel at home.
Your Human Resources department should treat everyone well
This is pretty straightforward. It’s as simple as just being kind to everyone. This one should be a given for your HR department. As they should already know to treat all employees with the same respect. For example, your business is a small business of 30 employees. You have one particular employee who gets all the attention in the world. This particular person never has any issues with their paychecks or benefits packages. Meanwhile, the other 29 employees seem to get the sloppy seconds. Their paychecks never come in on time and they don’t get offered the same benefits as the “spoiled” employee. Does that sound equally fair to you? Not at all, right? Handling employees of this nature is called favoritism which doesn’t work in the workplace. That’s just a quick way to ask for employee turnover and potentially a lawsuit. YIKES! So in other words, treat your employees how you would want to be treated!
The bottom line is to equally care about your employees. It really makes all the difference. Your employees are the people who invest time, dedication, and effort into your business. They truly believe in the vision of the business and want to help take your business to new heights. Is there someone in your HR department who’s treating your employees unfairly? Perhaps is there anyone in your HR department that isn’t trustworthy? All and all, how about placing some trustworthy people in your HR department?
