YOUR EXPERTISE: HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ORGANISATION
People want to be written into the story, to know that what they do really makes a difference.
To retain and attract the best people, businesses need to position themselves in such a way that new people, as well as veterans, can connect to the big picture meaning of their work.
One would think the HR department would be a key player in most organisations: gathering and disseminating information, helping to develop and implement strategy, practices and systems that motivate each employee to ever-higher levels of performance. Yet too often HR is essentially an administrative function.
As a result, a big opportunity exists for HR functions to enhance their roles. In many organisations, the need exists for a function that makes it a priority to develop and integrate all the elements of organising and managing people into a coordinated approach that fits the business strategy.
