Explaining Human Resources Challenges That Aren’t Going Away
HR professionals are faced with many challenges—but there are a few roadblocks that seem to be constant in the ever-changing HR environment.
What Are the Current and Future Challenges of Human Resource Management?
Recruitment
Finding great employees has become a major challenge for companies today, but by offering attractive benefits packages and remote work policies, you can create a compelling workplace that draws the right talent. With a new generation of employees seeking a balance between work and family, flexible work remains a top HR trend in 2023. To improve your recruitment strategies, start by offering it with included details in your job postings.
Another impactful way to improve your recruitment and talent acquisition strategy is to list pay ranges in your job advertisements. In fact, many organizations today are reaping the benefits of doing so. According to new data by SHRM Research, about 70% of businesses that list a range of pay in job advertisements said it led to more people applying for their jobs, and 66% discovered that it increased applicant quality.
Organizational Culture
Organizational culture is the key to engaging with current and potential employees and customers. It serves as the foundation of your company’s mission, vision, values, leadership and employee expectations, and structured performance management. To attract and retain top talent and engage with customers, make sure that your company’s culture is also showcased in job postings by highlighting the best qualities of your brand.
Retention
Retention has become a heightened issue for HR professionals. There are many factors that come into play, but a Harvard study found that offering competitive salaries based on your employees’ skills and experience is one of the best ways to increase retention. The study says that when people are paid more than they initially expected, they put in more effort, are more productive, and are more likely to stay long-term.
Recognition
Recognition gives your employees fuel and motivation to continue to give it their all for your business. A few ideas to acknowledge employees in the workplace include:
- Sharing positive feedback regularly via email, in-person, or on your company’s communication channel
- Offering monthly and quarterly awards
- Giving shout-outs at big company meetings
- Hosting a catered meal for your company as a generous gesture
- Handing out free company swag
Leadership Development
Employees repeatedly say that poor leadership is their primary reason for leaving jobs. That’s why investing in it is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. By developing future and existing leaders, you’re better equipped to handle growth, maintain employee retention, and increase employee morale. While the costs of providing this kind of training may seem like a major barrier, the returns are undeniable. Employees will appreciate being given more opportunities to take an active role in their work, and nurturing their growth as leaders helps ensure the future success for your organization.
Studies show that highly engaged employees are 87% less likely to look for another job.
