Oh how I wish we could truly abide by this sentiment as it is essentially, as the article mentions a strategy that allows people to flourish through work, impacts them personally, usually lead to employees that are more successful in the long run.However, like one of the other commenters mentioned most times companies and systems revert to the bottom line that ultimately doesn’t incorporate the “secret sauce” and the losers are the very people needed to execute the high expectation plans and strategies of the owners (companies, schools ).

I agree. I am a believer. But there is one thing that almost always gets in the way of a people first strategy and that is the widely adopted precept of the "maximization of shareholder value" above all else that is eventually held and acted on by even the most enlightened business leaders. Shareholders love layoffs, and CEOs of public companies ALL eventually resort to layoffs just in the name of shareholder value and nothing else.It is time to throw the idea of the "maximization of shareholder value" into the trash.

People-First and high trust cultures enable the whole team to reach their potential in ways that financially focused cultures don’t. Sometimes it feels like an investment of time (and sometimes money) but that investment in identifying what a good workplace feels like will create sustainability and long term productivity.

Absolutely! A 'people-first' culture is not merely a nice to have but a vital component for enduring success. It's high time that CEOs, business owners, and shareholders come to terms with the fact that putting employees at the forefront fosters innovation, loyalty, and growth. Prioritising people within our business strategies is essential to build a resilient and prosperous future. Let’s lead with empathy and foresight to ensure a thriving environment for everyone involved! 💪🌟 #PeopleFirst #BusinessStrategy #Leadership #SustainableSuccess

Absolute nail on the head. Really loved "unless leaders are living up to that promise". It has to start with leadership and with strategies that are sustainable through all types of organisational shifts.Excellent read. 🙌

Fractional HR leadership roles come with particular challenges. Consider the case of a tech startup that hired a fractional HR leader to navigate its rapid growth. Initially, the arrangement seemed ideal—cost-effective and highly skilled. However:🔹 The lack of continuity and institutional knowledge became apparent, and juggling multiple clients prevented them from grasping the company's unique culture and history. 🔹 Each new initiative required significant time to align with the organization's established practices and values, sometimes missing the mark and not resonating with the company's ingrained ethos.💡 These roles touch on the core of organizational culture, strategic alignment, and the employer-employee relationship. Thus, some worry that the rise of fractional HR might lead to a “hollowing out” of managerial knowledge and a dip in employee loyalty. Understanding these limitations is essential for developing strategies to overcome them and fully realize the potential of the fractional HR model. These are six critical challenges in fractional HR resource management.👉Have you experienced these or any additional challenges as a Fractional HR professional?

The terms “Fractional HR Leadership” or “Fractional HR” have gained significant traction in recent years, particularly among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with limited financial resources and even startups. Such a concept emerged as part of a broader trend of fractional services, which includes roles like fractional CFOs and CMOs. These services aim to provide high-level expertise part-time, allowing SMBs and startups to benefit from experienced HR leaders without the financial burden of full-time salaries.In 2021, a record 5.4 million new businesses were filed in the U.S., a significant jump from 2019. The federal government stimulus was a major reason for this surge, giving individuals the extra capital to invest in new business ventures. As a result, startups that once couldn't afford experienced executives are now turning to fractional roles, gaining access to strategic leadership at a fraction of the cost.As the fractional HR model continues to gain traction, you might face a unique puzzle - how do you effectively manage your limited time and resources to deliver exceptional value across a diverse portfolio of clients? The temptation to spread yourself thin and try to be all things to all organizations may be notable. But, for a successful outcome, you must recognize that real impact lies in strategic focus and laser-sharp execution.The following nine strategies serve as a roadmap for fractional HR professionals looking to excel in resource management.⭐To learn more, check out our Fractional HR Leader's Guide to Mastering Resource Management: https://bit.ly/3RNNJzE#humanresources #hr #fractionalhr #fractionalhrleaders #chro #hrbp #hrbusinesspartners #humanresourcemanagement

Culture is everyone's business at work. And transforming an organization's culture is a journey in which leaders, managers and team members have to be involved. The SMART methodology is a strategic approach that can help leaders, HR, and organizations improve their culture. But before setting SMART goals, you need to assess the current state of your organization's culture to understand those strategic areas that need improvement and will have the highest impact on your business and employee experience for now and for the future.Conducting a SWOT Analysis of your company culture will help you identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It will also unveil potential challenges when implementing change and developing solutions beforehand, allocating resources, training leaders, and equipping all team members with the skills and tools they need to drive cultural change effectively.Check out this SMART and SWOT approaches to work on corporate culture. #HackingHR #culturaltransformation #organizationalculture #HumanResources #HR #changemanagement

SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or strategic business priority.The SWOT framework helps organizations identify internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving their objectives. Strengths and Weaknesses are internal to the organization, such as resources, capabilities, or processes, whereas Opportunities and Threats usually represent external factors like market trends and competitive environment.How SWOT Differs from General Business AnalysisWhile SWOT Analysis is used across various business domains, its application in HR is unique due to the focus on people strategies and organizational behavior (culture).In HR, strengths and weaknesses are often related to people skills, workforce capabilities, and internal HR processes. Opportunities and threats, meanwhile, tend to revolve around external labor market conditions, regulatory changes, and advancements in HR technology. This HR-specific approach ensures that the analysis is tailored to the specific realities of people strategy, enabling HR professionals to make more informed decisions in areas like recruitment, training, employee retention, and compliance with labor laws.SWOT in HRSWOT analysis serves as a vital instrument for strategic management and strategic HR. The modern role of HR is crucial in fostering organizational growth and sustainability with people strategies. By implementing SWOT analysis, HR not only can systematically assess its own efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency, but, moreover, it can anticipate future challenges, and capitalize on potential opportunities.SWOT analysis is a powerful tool that can help aligning HR strategies with the overall business plan, ensuring a more holistic and effective approach to managing the organization's human capital.
