Evaluation Processes and Training
Studies have shown that workers who feel that they can develop professionally in the company are among the most satisfied.
- Increasing the number of training and professional development programs will not only create more skilled employees, but also help retain high-achieving employees.
- Provide frequent feedback; Employees want to know if they are performing their jobs well, without the ominous tone a typical performance review brings.
- HR can shift the focus of such a review to allow employees to honestly evaluate weaknesses and strive for improvements, setting goals for future advancement. This is beneficial for both the company and its employees. Furthermore, these assessments will also help the HR department to be more connected with the status of their peers.

Increase Employee Engagement
Companies function better when employees feel valued as important members of the company. Highly-engaged employees are also better able to achieve company-wide goals.
- HR works hand-in-hand with the management in developing and fostering a positive corporate culture.
- Employees should feel included, engaged and eager to perform well in the company.
- Remind employees that each one of them positively contributes to the company’s successes, and that all employees are important in reaching the company’s end goals.

Education on Company Policies
HR is in-charge of ensuring that employees in the organisation are aware of the requirements of company compliance and understand corporate expectations.
- For example, safety guidelines and operational procedures must be updated, clearly communicated and enforced to ensure not only worker safety, but also to protect the company from potential liabilities.
- HR members should also continually be on top of new regulations, and seek to maintain compliance as necessary.
