NO NEED TO JUMP OFF THE LEDGE: WHY YOUR HR PROFESSIONALS ARE IMPORTANT DURING 
A  CRISIS.

By: Resourceology360 


Your HR professionals are your company’s resources during a crisis. Whether you are a small business with an HR Consultant or a large company with an HR Department, utilizing them as your resource for support HR-related business decisions and employee guidance is critical to ensuring continued success and transition during uncertainty. Your HR professionals are trained and knowledgeable on guiding businesses through unexpected events that can impact normal work routines. HR will work with your business to create plans on how to survive in crises, and more importantly, continuing after the crisis has ended. Ensuring that those key people and HR processes are in place, and reliable regardless of the result.

 

The Human Resource professional works closely with leadership as they ensure the health and wellbeing is top of the list because they understand how key employees are to the organization's growth. The HR professional coordinates activities in order of priority to ensure important measures are taken into consideration such as educating employees on the crisis and putting practices in place so that everyone feels safe.

 

In cases of epidemics, your HR professional will guide you to OSHA regulations and precautionary measures that are implemented for protection against virus spreading. The lines of communication must be kept open throughout the organization to ensure transparency and clarity. As an HR Consultant, I have adopted some key strategies to serve as a resource for my clients and employees in the time of crisis.

 

Prevention- Many organizations tend to reactive crisis management plan rather than a pro-active process in place. It’s the role of your HR professional to align with leadership to identify possible threats ahead of time as well as what impact they can have on the organization. This is where HR Consultants and HR Managers can work within the organization to assess the cause and identify possible solutions.

 

Communication & Clarity ( Messages)- Continuous communication throughout the organization is critical in times of crisis, primarily to ensure that factual and proactive messages are delivered to your employees. Providing clear concise messages so the managers can lead their teams effectively. This also includes guidance and any next steps that are needed by the organization.

 

Resources & Recovery- Uncertainty after a crisis is very real and employees can be confused about how to navigate through the next steps. Your HR professional alongside the management team will create an after crisis plan and resources for employees.

 

Having a strategic HR Professional in your corner to support your business and operations through challenging times is a great part of a business growth plan. Contact R360 today and let our HR Consulting team show you how we can support your business!

  By: Resourceology360 Employee Appreciation Is Everyday Employee Appreciation Day is March 6, 2020, and it is the perfect time to show employees how much they are appreciated. Every day we should recognize our employees because they are an integral part of our business success. Recognition does not necessarily have to be grand acts all the time, it can be as simple as a written note thanking employees for all the work they put in daily. One of the most important lessons that I have learned as a leader from my employees is that you can't put a price on something as valuable as showing someone they are appreciated. Small business owners have a greater need to ensure that they are recognizing employees and providing value to the work environment. Retaining good employees is an ongoing strategy that small businesses should keep in mind, everything from the hiring process, communication, employee engagement, training & development, and perks, are all key to retention.

These are uncertain times for many and we want to stay prepared for any changes to the business landscape.   Although many employers have adopted the CDC guidelines as leaders it is key that information is consistently communicated to all employees and vendors that come in contact with the business regularly. Information provided by the CDC has provided resources and information that can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace such as ensuring that employees, vendors, contractors, who are not sick to stay home. If an employee is showing signs of sickness (i.e. fever) they should be sent home immediately to minimize the spread of the virus. Wearing a mask is intended to help stop the spread and is highly encouraged in the workplace. Wearin...

Let’s face it no matter how positive you are there will always be someone who is not on board, however, positivity is infectious and the more positivity you spread it is more likely that it will help to create a better work environment.   Having a positive attitude goes far deeper than a smile on your face, it has to do with creating boundaries that keep out negativity.
