HR Bartender

I’m a fan of comic books and superheroes. While I must admit my tastes do lean toward the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are some DC Comics that I enjoy.

Employee Engagement Is a Financial Strategy

HR Bartender

We spend a lot of time talking about creating employee engagement. The rationale being that engaged employees are highly productive. And productivity fuels the business.

Think You Know Your Total Cost of Workforce? Think Again.

Visier

Do you have a detailed and accurate understanding of your total cost of workforce (TCOW)? If your organization is anything like most large businesses, the answer is no. Organizations are usually pushed to review their TCOW only when facing upheavals, crisis, or simply a pivot in the sector. This is because, in too many organizations, just finding the data can take several months, and as a result, this kind of overwhelmingly large project is only considered when it can no longer be avoided.

What Should HR Know About Mental Health?

Hppy

HR fills the cracks of an organization, performing all the small and large tasks that don’t fit anywhere else. When accounting can’t manage it, HR performs payroll; when there isn’t a legal team on-site, HR verifies compliance and other regulatory concerns. Yet, perhaps the most important role HR plays within an organization is that of counseling, helping individual employees and teams work through problems and regain high rates of productivity.
