Balancing employee needs with business objectives is one of the biggest challenges HR professionals face. Over the years, I’ve learned that mastering this balance comes down to one key question: What is important to me in this moment? When an employee approached me with a request for leave for something that mattered deeply to them, in that moment, I cared about ensuring they had the time to take care of their personal matters. When my manager needed me to review payroll and limit overtime, I cared about helping my manager achieve our budget and KPIs. When a line manager shared their aspirations for career progression, I cared about their future and what it meant for their family. While we focus on long-term improvements and organizational change, it’s crucial to be present IN the moments that matter most. By asking myself what’s important right NOW helped me to connect to what mattered in that moment and I cultivated a HR brand that prioritised and cared for people! “Being present is the formula for a big bold life!“ Unknown #HR #beingpresent #puttingthehumanbackintohr
