Nurture Your Organization to Ensure Growth

In much the same way that flora and fauna need to be cared for – so too do the human resources of an organization need to be nurtured properly to ensure positive growth.

Neglected organisms wither and die and must be properly maintained for productive results. People rise to the occasion for a firm that they feel is taking care of them – so making the loyalty and dedication a two-way street is paramount.

But how does a company consistently motivate and engage to meet the needs of a diverse group of employees? Easily accessible avenues of communication and feedback are important tools to keep ‘your finger on the pulse’ of what peoples’ wants and needs are. As quoted in the Corpmagazine.com article ‘If You Aren’t Nurturing Growth, You’re Failing Your Employees,’ “Empower your employees with honest communication and clearly defined goals, and you’ll see just how hungry they can be for a bigger role in your company’s success.”

Implementing an HR Shared Services system with its built-in tools for automated HR service delivery helps dramatically in reaching the goals of improved company communications; and therefore helping to establish gains in employee trust, goodwill and empowerment. Aside from streamlining document-centric HR processes, Shared Services solutions deliver automated communications portals, providing personalized information geared specifically to the recipient based upon their unique profile. Additionally, the portal gives individuals the tools to communicate directly with the company via email, and live chat, as well as provide feedback through surveys – at any time from virtually anywhere.

Clearly defined goals between the company and employees establish expectations (on both sides), as well as layout directives and objectives – helping both the company and individual become more productive and grow. Employees leave their jobs for a number of reasons including issues with bosses, money and for new challenges and learning experiences. Improved communication helping to address these challenges leads to better morale, motivation and retention, helping a firm, not only retain, but continue to nurture, its talented workforce – while the employees continue to develop and flourish as well.
