HR EXPERIENCE DOES MATTER!

Having years of experience is a great benefit! How many sayings validate that fact- “been there done that, not my first rodeo, turnip trucks and the like.” So what does this have to do with your business? Everything!

As a small to midsized employer, you don’t have the luxury of wasting time or making unnecessary mistakes with people- whether they are employees or customers. That where we can help! We have long term relationships with our customers and work to know their business and help assess needs for growth and change.

Experience counts more than education when it comes to HR practitioners advancing into the upper echelons of the profession, according to a new study.
This and other findings were reported in the Career Factbook for HR and Learning Professionals, published by Bersin & Associates, a research and advisory firm focusing on enterprise learning and talent management and acquisition. The report, which offers analysis of the demographics and characteristics of today's HR and learning professionals, identifies experience, rather than education, as the biggest differentiator between executives and practitioners in the HR and learning professions. Bersin's study found that most executives have line-of-business experience and emphasize skills such as planning, communication, and budgeting.
We don’t waste time with buzzwords and popular program titles; our focus is on improvements which can be measured. After all, you won’t know if you are successful if you don’t set a mark or goal of improvement.

Hiring expectations are down…

Everyone is watching expenses….

What has happened in your world? Are your employees now paying for the office coffee or perhaps it’s no longer available at all? Have you eliminated lunches and food brought in for staff meetings? Looking to cancel holiday and/or summer parties and functions? We see and hear of these examples of cost reduction on a daily basis as well as many more. Although these steps are necessary and understood by your employees, this can lead to affecting the atmosphere and morale of the workplace.


So what are the alternatives?

We suggest during this “down or slow” time, you join other progressive companies and use this interlude to evaluate your core business and the people to assure that when business resumes or picks up, you are ready to turn on the after burners! Focus on improvements to process, offering training of new skills for employees, cross-training and working with your existing teams to increase their performance and efficiency.
The results will certainly be a factor in your company’s growth and expansion in the business up turn as well as signaling and encouraging employees to see the bigger picture of the business cycles.
