Managing Employee Performance

At Meraki HR we work with lots of clients on what I call proactive HR. That’s helping them to design and implement a people strategy that helps them create great places to work which in turn means their people deliver great business results. But life isn’t always rosy, and we are dealing with people and things can and do go wrong – that’s life!

Engage for success

Are your people not delivering the results you need and your business not performing as expected? Consider for a moment, the findings of research conducted by employee services provider Personal Group, which revealed that almost half of UK workers are unhappy with their job. The same survey showed that happy employees are a massive 12 per cent more productive than those unhappy with their work situation. Hands up anybody who would like to see a 12% increase in productivity in their business this month?! So, if your employees feel unhappy…

Would you ignore Richard Branson’s business advice?

Are you in the culture club?

A happier workforce makes for a more productive workforce. Fact. It is widely acknowledged by business leaders that corporate culture influences productivity, creativity, profitability, business value, and growth rates.

Staycation or vacation?

Well the summer holidays are nearly here, and the weather is predictably, er, unpredictable! Are you risking a staycation after last year’s bumper summer, or are you a little more risk averse, like me? Full disclosure – I’ve taken some advice from the experts at the MET office and have booked a cheeky week of guaranteed sun, nearer the equator. Just in case! Seriously though, that couple of weeks R&R is a really important time for me to unwind from the grind, so I’m not taking any chances and I’ve…

I’m lucky and have already been away for my main holiday this year and am now back and full of energy to start the next half of the year! Seriously though, that couple of weeks R&R is a really important time for me to unwind from the grind, so when I book my holiday, I don’t take any chances and I consulted with the travel experts for some guidance on where to go to ensure I have a great break with plenty of sunshine thrown in (my own weather experience…

Three quickfire tips to improve health and wellbeing amongst your employees

At this time of year, many of us are madly last-minute dieting and boot-camping, in a quest to be beach ready for our Summer hols.
