Are you wishing you could reduce your time spent on HR stuff?   The average owner of a small or medium business spends A FIFTH of their working week on HR-related tasks. This has almost certainly increased with remote-working!   Implementing an HR system can significantly reduce the admin burden and improve communications with your team, particularly during remote-working AND it really isn’t expensive AND the benefits are numerous:  - all your employee data in one secure place (which isn’t the bottom drawer of your desk, or your mobile phone, neither which are likely to comply with GDPR!)  - manage holiday, sickness and other absences more efficiently  - allow your staff to maintain their own data  - manage company documents and sensitive documents such as passport copies  - automate reporting e.g. outputs to your payroll function.  We have migrated several of our small business clients onto Breathe in the last few months and they all love it!  Drop me a line to find out if it’s right for you.  #HR #HRSoftware #HRadmin #productivity

Do UK companies do enough to support the ambitions of their staff? It's a question worth asking in the light of a new survey which shows many of us are looking to change our careers but are not sure how to go about it. The LHH Global Workforce of the Future Report 2024 reveals that 49 per cent of UK employees want a change of direction but grapple with uncertainty about the right path to take. External factors, such as the economy, company strategy, and performance, exert significant influence over employees’ career trajectories, according to 54% of respondents. The report also highlights optimism around upskilling, with 58% of UK workers inspired to learn new skills beyond their current roles. However, 47% aspire to move into management positions but feel hindered by a lack of leadership development opportunities. Interestingly, UK workers are more likely than their global counterparts to cite “fear of the unknown” as a barrier to career change. Some 68% of respondents believe companies should invest in training and upskilling existing employees before hiring externally. JC Townend, LHH chief executive said: “Companies are finding it more and more important to invest in their employees. Their best employees will often be among their most ambitious, and ensuring they have development and support for their advancing career goals will be important to retaining them in the company. “In addition, the rapid change in jobs with new technology, regulations, and expanded responsibilities for workers means existing employees need to be re-skilled to continue to do their jobs well. In order to enable UK workers to thrive, we need to ensure that they have opportunities to progress and develop their careers, throughout their careers.” #careers #training #development #hrconsultancy
