Now more than ever, remote work is becoming an integral part of the way we do business. And love it or loathe it, particularly from an HR perspective, the fact is, you’re probably going to have to learn to at least accept it. Here’s how.

Could you create a better company culture, attract more talent, and increase employee retention by offering a more attractive paternity leave policy? It’s likely, and let’s face it, what have you got to lose? We look at why it’s worth revisiting the policies and perks you already have in place.

Have you created a new hire checklist to help you navigate your onboarding process more easily? Have you considered - really considered - ways to make your new employees feel more at home from the moment they step through the door of your workplace? It’s time to talk about buddy programs.

It’s no longer enough to post job ads for ‘rock star designers’ or ‘ninja programmers’ to fill vacancies as they arise. To stay ahead of the competition and nab truly great potential employees, you must ensure you have access to a pool of skilled people. And that means creating a talent pipeline.

Let’s face it, even the most motivated among us have days when we’d rather stay in bed than have that dreaded conference call with an irate investor. When we’d rather slump on the settee watching daytime TV than face another eight hours of dealing with angry customers. And so the duvet day was born.

Employee retention has long been a thorn in the side of HR. And one way of tackling it that’s often overlooked is one of the simplest (and cheapest) to execute. Asking your employees for feedback not only makes your people feel valued, it gives you insight into your workplace to help you improve.
