Culture is the heartbeat of an organisation, the essence that shapes its identity, and the driving force behind both its achievements and the satisfaction of its employees. Read on to see how you can take steps to build your own positive culture in your workplace.

Performance Measurement and Employee Development are essential components of organisational success. By setting clear goals, providing constructive feedback, and designing effective performance appraisal systems, organisations can maximise employee potential, drive performance, and cultivate a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Effective talent acquisition is essential for organisations to access top talent, gain a competitive advantage, drive business growth and success, foster innovation and creativity, enhance employee engagement and retention, and achieve cost savings.

It is a strategic priority that requires careful planning, investment, and execution to ensure long-term success and sustainability.

Employee experience refers to the holistic perception and interaction that employees have with their workplace environment, encompassing all aspects of their journey within the organisation, including recruitment, onboarding, day-to-day work, and offboarding. It encompasses the physical, cultural, and technological elements of the workplace and directly influences employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall well-being.

It’s common knowledge (or at least we hope?!) that the success and growth of any company are inherently tied to the wellbeing and productivity of its employees. However, creating an environment that fosters positivity, growth, and success requires deliberate and concentrated effort and attention.

As April is in full swing, let's take a moment to shine a spotlight on something pretty important: Stress Awareness Month.

Now, if you're in the HR world like us, you know that stress isn't just a buzzword—it's a real deal affecting millions of hardworking souls in the UK every year.

So, let's chat about how stress impacts us, both personally and professionally, and what we can do to tackle it head-on.

Engagement Surveys are a readily accessible and easy means to boost productivity and profitability - they don’t take as long as your might think to organise, especially with our help. So, why not use part of your extra day on the 29th of February to consider surveying your teams.

As Halloween approaches, the world seems to be overrun by spooky creatures and monsters lurking in the shadows. While these creatures may be the stuff of nightmares in our personal lives, they also bear a striking resemblance to some of the challenges we face in the workplace.

There are mince pies in the supermarkets.

That’s right. Mince pies.

Summer is over.I guess that means that for most of us, the routine is now officially back in action again. Kids are back at school, uni students are heading back and the world of work rumbles on.

It’s the great British summertime (if you can believe it!) which means the usual working cadence often changes for a lot of businesses. The summer season can sometimes lead to a dip in employee engagement, so this summer make sure you are keeping your people motivated, engaged and supported.

It never fails to surprise us that when the majority of business plan their business growth, the considerations of their People Strategy are (usually) pretty non existent.

We’ve said it before and we’ll keep saying it.

A business will succeed or fail because of the people in it.

So what are the 9 things stopping your business growth and what do you need to do about it?

April was stress awareness month - this does the important job of bringing awareness to stress in the workplace.

And while we are seeing a lot of people aware of their high stress levels now (awesome first step) they don't seem to have an actionable plan in place to actually reduce them!

*Enters human everything stage left*

May is all about ways to actually reduce stress in the workplace.

It’s arrived – the start of Quarter 2 and like many other business owners, you have probably just completed your next cycle of 90 day planning. That’s awesome, we have too!

How many of those plans are directed specifically toward your people?

It’s been a long and dreary winter yet there is light at the end of the tunnel even as salad items are dropping off our shopping lists.

L.O.V.E is in the workplace! This month we are challenging you to commit to bringing more L.O.V.E to YOUR workplace. Read this month’s blog to find out all about what L.O.V.E in the workplace can look like, then follow us on social to discover tips and hints to bring this all to life.

It’s the start of a new year and coming back from a break can be a tough transition. Couple that with the seemingly never-ending “new year, new me” posts and it’s no wonder we can start to feel overwhelmed.

As a busy business owner, there’s a lot to think about – so in the whirlwind of December, let us help with you getting everything wrapped up (at least with your team – we can’t help with the Christmas presents!).

The world feels very heavy at the moment. This month at Human Everything we want to encourage everyone to look after their human, in and outside of the workplace, to stop burnout, increase happiness and boost productivity.
