In our 2nd quarter issue of the HR Edge Newsletter, we review helpful tips on the following topics:
- The Hybrid Work Model – Hybrid workforce strategies will factor into workforce planning this year and beyond. The pandemic has resulted in thousands of employees working from their kitchen tables or living rooms rather than the office or other workplace. If that’s the case, organizations are likely in or will be in the process of deciding how much remote work will continue to play into the workplace. Furthermore, a hybrid model is becoming a growing standard for many organizations in some capacity – and might even be a common long-term option.
- Strategic Employee Communication – Employee communication refers to how organizations communicate with their employees—and conversely, how employees communicate with organizational leadership. While dialogue takes place in every workplace to some capacity, organizations that think and act strategically when communicating with employees may be able to realize benefits.
- Preparing for Future Health Crises – The COVID-19 pandemic was a wake-up call for HR departments in 2020. Suddenly, employees were looking to HR teams for guidance in areas not typically considered their responsibility. This was a turning point for many workplaces—now, HR is expected to understand public health challenges swiftly and manage them efficiently. Now is the time for organizations to develop a long-term plan for the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and prepare to make agile responses during any future pandemics.
