The pace and volume of change can easily take its toll on employees and stakeholders. Here are five ways you can reduce employee ‘change fatigue’ from Australian HR Institute (AHRI): 1. Pause – Leaders should have their vision, but they should stop and think about what they are trying to achieve. 2. Listen – Now that you have got a sense of what you are trying to achieve, listen to your team. Listen, listen and listen more. Collect stories and understand pain points. 3. Empower – Ask your employees to recognize and act upon pain points. Enable and empower your team to come up with solutions. When employees are involved in the process, they are more receptive to change. 4. Co-create and Collaborate – When you collaborate, you work together on a shared goal and there is mutual benefit but when you cooperate, just one party benefits. Co-creation and collaboration brings diversity of thoughts, perspectives and understanding, leading to a value-based outcome. 5. Reiterate – This is about building an effective feedback loop. Pay attention and reflect on feedback with the intention of optimizing it. What would you add to the list? P.S.

Taking Risks - Consulting/Coaching/Supervision I wear all three hats, not at the same time and yet I know in my role as a consultant my training as a coach and supervisor will shape how I consult and it does. Quotes from my stakeholder "Never worked or met anyone like you" Quotes from one of my interviews "You sound like a maverick" Yes, I don't work in the usual way and yet I aware of my own shortcomings. I know that I will not be everyone's cup of tea. I share this with those work with in terms of how I can be: - Honest - Reliable - Good quality of work - Excellent communicator - Compassionate/empathetic (to a point) Other ways I can be challenging: - Telling it how it is - Challenging the thinking and ways of working - Holding myself and others accountable - Naming things that others don't want to name. - Balancing the need to focus in the human process as well as the task. Yes I do hesitate, I have doubts and sometimes I hold them to take the risks. Sometimes they land and other times they don't. I do contract for this and how I show up and I can dial it back (though I prefer not to!) #weekendthoughts #reflections #hr #coaching #Consulting #change #organisationdevelopment #orgdesign

"People and Culture". Hire the right people, get closer to a great culture. Phillip Di Bella shares another strategy that worked at Di Bella, and I'd have to agree with the concept - after seeing many smaller employers recruit people with very little (to none) thought and design of the role or person to fill the role. #TheHRCartelPodcast #BusinessPodcast #HR #People #Culture

What is negative leave, and can my employees take it? As an employer in Australia, managing employee leave entitlements can be a complex task, especially when dealing with situations where employees have taken more leave than they have accrued. This is known as 'negative leave'.   While negative leave is not explicitly addressed in the Fair Work Act 2009 ('the Act'), it is a common practice that many employers and employees have adopted to accommodate unforeseen circumstances or personal emergencies. This article explains how you can manage employees with a negative leave balance or those who are looking to take negative leave.

This article from Australian HR Institute (AHRI) struck a chord with me, not only because I am a non executive director with HR expertise but because it signals that change needs to occur, and be seen to occur, at ALL levels of our organisations. Does your Board need HR expertise? In the past I've contributed as a facilitator for Board processes as well as being an active Board member. Let's get a conversation going that leads to some change. #directorship #strategicHR #leadership https://lnkd.in/gMnyZuRw

Great article and read. “We need to learn to play offence with our workdays, at both the individual and organisational level – and change behaviours and mindsets en masse.” #humanresources #peopleandculture #leadership #strategy #productivity
