Higher International Human Resources

Globally, 25% of employees are actively searching for a new job (or will soon start looking or one). #SHRM's latest research on The State of Global Workplace Culture examined the broadly shared values, attributes, behaviors and norms of a company identifying the fundamental elements that make up a favorable workplace culture. While elements of a positive workplace culture—honest and unbiased management, civil behavior, meaningful work opportunities, open communication, and empathy—are universally recognized, some countries excel more in these areas than others. Regardless of geographical variations, one universal truth persists- the impact of a poor culture resonates across all borders. Globally, in poor or terrible workplace cultures, 57% of employees are actively seeking new opportunities or plan to soon, as compared to just 15% in good or excellent cultures. While cultural nuances may shape our workplaces, the repercussions of a poorly managed workplace culture are undeniably universal, affecting employee retention, productivity, and overall organizational success.

I believed it could be different, so we started a company. Now, we celebrate HIHR LLC's 6-Year Anniversary! If you asked me 6 years ago if we would be here (even if you asked me 3 years ago; we all lived through a lot), I'm not sure what my answer would have been. Still, I have always believed greatly in this mission; as has my family. There is a lot of power in our faith and what we believe is possible. Here we are! We are conversing about the next 6 years - a completely different conversation from where we started.  We value gratitude and celebration. In tune with this, we have two exciting announcements to celebrate this 6-Year Company milestone: 1. "Go Higher!" Scholarship Award - We have a "Go Higher!" Scholarship Award recipient - Congratulations Sean Southard! 2. "Go Higher!" Art Collection - We've officially launched the "Go Higher!" Art Collection - so much more to follow here. Inspiring artists, inspiration and so many ideas! I'm excited about all of it, but especially need to highlight and celebrate this bright young man we have selected for our "Go Higher!" Student Scholarship Program - Sean Southard. ---- In honor of Sean, a great role model for our own kids: You are extremely deserving of this award and we hope this recognition can  build your resume and support your efforts for years to come! In particular, your talented artwork, volunteerism, work ethic, academic achievements and positive  attitude embodies our company values of Results. Quality. Trust.    Your Elephant Art Piece is so thoughtful, beautiful and  accurate. It really struck us and got our attention. You may know, we are now collaborating with people in India. Some of the leaders we work with often navigate elephant herds going through their villages. Your art piece is very relevant and captivating. You are an incredible young man, and we are so happy to give you this scholarship award. Thank you for making the world a better place. Nancy Southard Michael Southard, CSP (Had to include Sean's amazing, supportive parents). If either of you write a book, I will read it cover to cover. :) --- It takes a village to raise children well; it takes a village to grow a business, mission and impact. We are beyond thankful for our village.  For those who want to start or are just starting, go for it and keep showing up! There is a lot of beauty through the hardest parts, life lessons and community that we never would have experienced! Congratulations to Sean and to our amazing HIHR Team who makes this all a reality! Happy 6 Years!!! #Scholarships #Awards #AlwaysGrowing #AlwaysLearning #Postivivity #CreateWhatsNext #Integrity #AddValue #People&Culture #Consulting #HR #BeTheSpark
