"Every business is a people business." - Richard Harpin HR leaders are the heartbeat of company culture and team dynamics, yet they're often overlooked for the top job. Why is that? Harpin makes a strong case for why we need more HR professionals in the C-suite—and how businesses can benefit from their people-first perspective. But he also points out a challenge: HR leaders need opportunities to broaden their skills in areas like operations and finance to truly shine as future CEOs. This isn't just about HR—it's about building a leadership pipeline that drives sustainable growth. https://lnkd.in/efpMn6Vp What's your take? Are we underestimating HR's role in shaping the future of leadership? #HR #leadership

The "New Collar" trend of hiring offers a lot of benefits to both the employee and employer. Here are just a couple of stats from the Financial Times that prove it: ➡️ Retention rates: The retention rate for employees hired through skills-based processes is 10 percentage points higher than for those with bachelor's degrees. ➡️ Salary increases: Workers hired into "new collar" roles experience an average salary increase of 25%. And these are two of the many benefits we're seeing from this hiring strategy. There are challenges in implementation and let's face it, breaking through traditional norms, however 2025 is shaping up to be a big year of change across HR including hiring, so we may see this idea grow a lot more. What are your thoughts on this hiring strategy? Are you considering implementing something more like it in your business? #hiring #HR

PIPs should be entered into with good faith, not as simply a legal protection when looking to terminate someone. If you use this method with an employee, here are 3 things you should keep in mind for their PIP: 🟣 Provide clear objectives: PIPs should include "SMART" goals meaning they should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound this way someone has clear expectations for improvement. 🟣 Offer support and resources: If you want to increase the likelihood of employee's success during the PIP period, you must provided proper training, coaching and resources. 🟣 Give regular feedback: There must be ongoing communication and feedback throughout the PIP process in order for employees to understand their progress and the areas that need further improvement. It is best to outline the type and frequency of feedback within the PIP itself, and then follow-through.
