Collaboration in the workplace is essential for driving innovation, improving productivity, fostering positive relationships, and delivering superior outcomes for both employees and customers. By promoting a collaborative culture, organisations can create an environment where individuals thrive, teams excel, and the business succeeds.

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.

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!

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.

Whatever your business aspirations are, whether you are maintaining, growing or developing your business, you need to think about your people strategy and the sooner you do, the sooner you can start reaping the rewards.

This week we wanted to introduce ourselves – at least the humans in Human Everything – to show how we have used our workplace reports to interact with each other.

The Human Everything approach is a holistic one, and meeting the challenges listed above isn’t simply a case of knocking each one off the list until you get to the end and hey presto, you’ve finished.

Following on from the 5 biggest people challenges we talked about in our last article, our attention turns this week to how to address these challenges. How do you keep the team together?
