A guide to effectively navigating HR in 2022

Another challenging year is behind us. December is a good time to slow down a bit and take a look at the situation. The turn of the year is a time of reflection — we analyze what we have managed to accomplish, what was our success. It is also a time to beat your chest and admit to yourself which goals or tasks are passed on to the next year as unfulfilled. Sometimes such a situation makes us realize that we put something off for years!

So how to set goals to achieve in 2022? And what is important for your employees well being.

Individual employee training

Each employee is different and needs a slightly different set of knowledge and skills. For this reason, the possibility of individualization of organized classes allows for the training of a specialist in a very narrow, necessary organization of the field. It is also a way to save money on general training, which is often not successful.

Listening to the employee, his needs, and help in developing his or her career path through personalized tasks ensure not only new knowledge but also employee satisfaction, which directly translates into increased motivation.

Mentoring system

Along with the individualization of training, the method of its delivery will also change. Learning in the flow of work — a model in which the employee independently decides when he wants to reach for new knowledge. From HR specialists, this will require the availability of training materials and their constant updating and making them more attractive.

Along with it, mentoring will be of great importance — but in a different model from the one known so far. New generations of employees want to develop, but they care about partner relations with the mentor and supervisor. In this way, they can learn from them but also share their knowledge and experiences.

Benefits and their individualization

Non-wage benefits will also change. Due to the individual approach to the employee, cafeteria benefit platforms will become much more popular. In addition to the possibility of choosing a discount according to your preferences, the most popular benefits will also include:

• possibility of remote or hybrid work
• appreciation at work
• additional vacation days
• a medical package with access to specialists such as physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists.

Benefits that will help ensure the well-being and well-being of employees: multisport cards, individualization of the workplace, trips, and organizational meetings will also be of great importance. The most important change, however, will be the fact that companies, when applying for an employee, will have to adjust the benefits to their needs, hence a question regarding them may appear in the recruitment questions.

Well-being and work-balance of employees

The well-being of employees and an appropriate division of the day between work and private life will remain an important issue. From the HR team, these activities will require planning and new knowledge, as well as making changes in the current way of working.

The development of the company’s culture and its transparency will certainly benefit companies. Establishing adequate rules for overtime, working from home and breaks will help give employees the rest they need. HR specialists will have to monitor working time and encourage employees who neglect this issue to rest.
