Belonging is one of those words that sounds warm and fuzzy, but makes HR professionals scratch their heads when it comes to putting numbers around it. Unlike tracking attendance or turnover, belonging feels harder to pin down.
The question is: can HR truly measure belonging, or is it another buzzword floating around leadership decks?
Think about how a dinner party works. If the food is good and the music is fine, but […]
Think about how you pick your streaming services: Netflix for shows, Spotify for music, and maybe a fitness app for workouts. You subscribe, cancel, or swap depending on your needs. Now imagine if your workplace did the same for employee benefits. That is what subscription employee benefits aim to bring into the office.
Instead of being locked into a one-size-fits-all health or perks package, employees could subscribe to what fits them best […]
The yoga app? Unused. The mental health stipend? A mystery to most. That expensive new platform? Nobody signed up.
If this sounds familiar to you, then you’re not alone. Many companies offer generous benefits that quietly collect dust, not because the employees don’t care, but because the perks don’t connect, or worse, they’re invisible.
Let’s talk about why underused employee benefits are more common than you think, and how to turn […]
You can have the best policies, the kindest team, and the most thoughtful benefits; yet, employees hesitate to go to HR.
They whisper concerns to coworkers. They vent in private group chats. But when it comes to talking to Human Resources? Silence.
This isn’t just about isolated bad experiences. It’s about patterns, power structures, and perceptions built over the years. And unless companies face it head-on, employee trust in HR will […]
On paper, unlimited vacation sounds amazing. No tracking. No limits. Just freedom. But in practice? Many employees take less time off under an unlimited PTO policy than they did with a traditional one.
Why? Because freedom without guidance can feel risky. People worry about looking lazy, being judged, or returning to a mess.
The result is burned-out teams that feel guilty for resting, and a benefit that ends up working against its […]
Most employees can tell within 30 seconds what kind of HR conversation they’re walking into through HR’s body language, phrasing, and the entire vibe of the room. Such a conversation feels more like suspicion than support.
This is where coach-style HR communication makes all the difference.
Instead of policing people, HR’s style of communication should build relationships. Instead of enforcing silence, it opens space. And when HR leads […]
Most companies offer some kind of discount, such as restaurant deals, gym memberships, tech gadgets, and concert tickets. It’s a feel-good perk that doesn’t cost much. But here’s the thing: employee discount programs aren’t just about saving money.
They’re signals. Every perk tells a story about what your company values and what it doesn’t.
Whether intentional or not, your perks say something. A discount on […]
Most exit interviews are a little too late. By the time you sit down for that final conversation, the decision’s made. The laptop’s packed. The trust may be gone.
Yet, some of the most honest insights about your company come from those moments, just after someone has decided to leave.
So here’s the question: what if you asked those questions sooner? What if you used future exit interviews as […]
It’s time to say it out loud: HR can’t lead if it keeps acting like it’s lucky to be in the room.
You can’t champion business strategy while apologizing for interrupting. You can’t shape company culture if you’re still waiting to be invited to the table.
Strategic HR leadership doesn’t whisper. It speaks with clarity. It shows up early, not just to clean up after decisions, but to help make them.
And right […]
Because sometimes, your best data point is a gut check. Every HR dashboard shows the basics: turnover rate, time-to-hire, and engagement scores. But there’s a gap. Regret is one of the most human, high-impact signals that isn’t showing up in most reports.
And no, not employee regret. Your regret.
That’s where regrettable turnover analysis comes in. It helps teams stop looking only at who is leaving and start asking how much it hurt your […]
