In the ever-changing world of Human Resources, we're always on the lookout for better ways to make employees feel good about their work, help them reach their targets, and make their job performance even better. In the past few months, I've been learning a lot about HR, and in this blog, I want to share what I've discovered about keeping employees happy and successful, how we're connecting with our team through All hands sessions, where share our thoughts and how we're planning for the future of our company. 

Getting Started 

When I started my journey in HR, I was excited to explore how employee engagement, goal achievement, and performance management all work together to create a healthy and productive work environment. 

Employee Happiness: The Heart of HR 

It's crucial to have happy and engaged employees in any company. They work harder, enjoy their jobs more, and do better at their tasks. I've found that making employees feel connected and valued begins with clear communication, giving them opportunities to learn and grow, and making everyone feel welcome, no matter who they are. We've also started hosting weekly Hangout sessions, like online get-togethers, to chat and bond as a team. 

Achieving Goals: Matching Objectives with Results 

Achieving goals means making sure that what employees want to achieve lines up with what the company wants to accomplish. It's not just about doing the work; it's about getting the right results. When people focus on achieving results, they become more creative and work to make the company better. To make this happen, we need to provide the necessary support, explain what's expected, and create a culture that appreciates good results. 

Performance Management: Tracking, Feedback, and Growth 

Performance management is like a journey that helps employees do their best. It's important to set clear goals, provide feedback, and help people improve their skills. We also have monthly check-ins called Effective Percentage calls to see what's going well and where there's room for improvement. It's not just about one-way communication; it's a two-way conversation. We have been talking with the team, offering advice, and supporting them in reaching their goals and celebrating their achievements. 

Aligning with the Company's Future 

To succeed in a business world that's always changing, HR needs to discuss what the company's future will look like. This means understanding the company's long-term plans and what it aims to achieve. By joining discussions about the company's future, HR can make sure they're finding and developing the right people to meet the changing needs of the company. 

Over the past 2-3 months, our HR department has gone through significant changes. People at the company are happier, and fewer of them are leaving. We've set more challenging goals and made sure they align with what the company wants. We're also using data and being open about how people are doing, which helps employees, and their managers make better decisions. 

My time in HR has been both challenging and rewarding. I'm still learning about how to make employees happy and productive, and I see how everything in HR is connected. I'm excited to keep growing and evolving in the HR field, including discussing the company's future and staying in touch with the team through Hangouts. 

Conclusion - In a nutshell, the way to achieve HR success involves making sure employees are happy, connecting their goals with their achievements, and constantly seeking growth. These basic principles not only lead to a satisfied and motivated workforce but also strengthen the organization's foundation for a promising future. As we move ahead, the journey toward HR excellence holds many exciting possibilities, and I eagerly look forward to what the future has in store with enthusiasm and dedication.
