Growing my HR career | Sharing insights to grow yours too

This fall I created a shortcut on my phone to save myself a bunch of time: @ = Mencarelli My last name is long and cumbersome to type, especially on my phone. The shortcut was so convenient! And then I noticed a few days later, my LinkedIn crashed each time I tried to tag someone. …I’m ashamed how long it took me to realize my chosen shortcut was the problem. I was hurriedly fixing something small and inadvertently created a much bigger issue downstream. As soon as I discovered the issue, I asked myself where else in my life I was doing the same thing. In my job?? If you’re moving fast to fix something small in HR, don’t overlook the downstream impact. Creating a policy for that problem employee? Replacing that system a few on your HR team don’t love? Implementing a new process to address one team’s problem? Maybe it’s something that will have a positive downstream impact. Or maybe it will be the teeny tiny @ symbol that keeps crashing your entire LinkedIn session. 🫠 ---------------------------------------------------------     ♻ Repost if you found this helpful and follow me, Amy Mencarelli, to grow your HR career.
