    【HR术语】什么是绩优加薪?(What is a merit increase?) 什么是绩优加薪? 绩优加薪是公司为工作成绩或业绩突出的专业人员提供的加薪。根据行业和公司的不同,绩效加薪可以是每年一次,也可以根据完成的项目进行加薪。 绩效加薪与加薪 通常情况下,公司每年或每半年为全体员工、部门或特定职位加薪一次。加薪可确保公司的薪酬具有竞争力,并与生活成本保持一致。如果员工认为自己的薪酬过低,要求加薪是完全可以接受的,但加薪并不一定与绩效挂钩。 而绩效加薪则与工作表现直接相关。企业为特定职位上的高价值专业人员提供绩效加薪,以奖励、鼓励和赞赏他们的工作效率和成就。 什么是标准的绩优加薪? 平均绩优加薪幅度约为个人当前工资的 3%。根据个人的绩效和对公司的价值,绩效加薪的幅度通常从绩效较低者的 1% 到绩效较高专业人员的 10% 不等。 了解公司如何对待绩效加薪非常重要。专业人士应在面试过程中专门讨论这个话题,以正确衡量公司的年度薪酬政策是否符合他们的期望和需求。 公司为什么要择优加薪? 公司通过绩优加薪来表彰优秀员工的成就和奉献精神。绩优加薪还可以激发每个人提高工作质量的动力,从而提高工作效率。最终,通过激励员工提高工作绩效,公司可以建立一种富有成效、以目标为导向的工作文化,并提高公司的底线。 人力资源领导者为什么要关注绩优加薪? 虽然绩效加薪肯定不是留住人才的唯一方法,但它可以起到帮助作用。通过对表现出色的员工给予额外的奖励,公司表明了对他们及其贡献的重视。因此,绩效加薪是另一种表达 "谢谢你,我们感谢你的服务 "的方式。 一个精心设计且行之有效的绩优加薪计划,奖励值得奖励的专业人员,可以提高员工的留用率、生产率和参与度。 保持高素质员工的参与度和积极性,可以最大限度地减少公司必须招聘和雇佣新人的数量,从而降低成本。此外,实施计划周密的绩效加薪制度还有助于留住为公司成功做出重大贡献的优秀团队成员。 哪些人应该获得绩效加薪? 绩效加薪并不适合所有人,这没有关系。 不是每个人都是高绩效员工。此外,在数年或数十年内额外增加 3% 至 5% 的薪酬可能代价高昂。 这就是为什么绩效加薪只适用于那些有杰出成就并直接推动业务目标实现的专业人士。 确保只有在制定了绩效加薪标准、评估了绩效考核并由高管审查了每位候选人之后,才会为员工提供绩效加薪。 如何计算绩效加薪? 要了解如何计算绩效加薪,让我们来看一个例子。 假设您为一位目前年薪为 80,000 美元并按月领取工资的员工提供 3% 的绩效加薪。 当前工资 x 绩效加薪百分比 = 年加薪 80,000 x .03 = 每年加薪 2,400 新工资/每年的工资额=新月薪 82,400 / 12= 6,866.66 美元为确保绩优加薪幅度在预算和职位薪资范围之内,人力资源领导者可以与薪酬经理合作,建立一个绩优矩阵--一个易于阅读的网格,显示准确的计算结果和有竞争力的加薪幅度。 人力资源领导者如何实施绩效加薪? 人力资源领导者可以利用这些指导原则,创建一个能促进员工参与、留住员工和提高生产力的绩效加薪制度: 考虑其他决定性因素。因为绩优加薪并不是提高员工参与度和留任率的唯一因素,所以应首先考虑其他核心人力资源因素: 员工是否拥有舒适工作所需的条件?职位是否提供工作灵活性?公司文化是否包容并接受思想多样性?是否有适当的学习和发展机会?分析完其他核心因素后,您就可以确定绩优加薪。 确定哪些人员有资格获得绩优加薪。要确定哪些职位和人员对企业的成功至关重要,就要评估找人替代该人员或担任该职位的难度。该职位或人员对公司业务目标和战略的影响有多大?在评估员工的职业价值时,应依靠来自多个渠道的数据,如频繁的绩效考核、360 度审查和人才分析。 确定标准。确保标准切合实际。在尊重工作与生活平衡的前提下,你希望这些要求能激发员工努力工作。理想情况下,标准应能激发动力,而不是失望和怨恨。 让每个人都能了解标准。将绩优加薪标准写入员工手册,并向管理人员解释,以此传达标准。这样,专业人员就能了解他们需要达到哪些基准才能获得资格。 经常进行绩效加薪。人力资源部门的领导者可以全年提供绩效加薪,这样,每当员工达到既定目标时,人力资源部门就可以通过有竞争力、有预算的绩效加薪来奖励他们的表现,从而促进员工的参与度和工作效率。 采取综合方法。仅仅依靠绩效加薪并不能达到提高员工敬业度、生产率和留任率的预期效果。然而,将绩优加薪落实到尊重和欣赏员工、提供有竞争力的基本工资以及拥有能够指导员工的经理人的企业文化中,才是企业成功的基础。 为什么绩优加薪应成为现代人力资源战略的一部分? 绩优加薪是人力资源专业人士用来留住人才和提高生产力的绝佳工具。一家公司认可并奖励员工的成就和表现,就表明它欣赏员工及其贡献。如果将绩效加薪纳入员工福利的综合方法中,就能帮助专业人员保持热情和参与度。 以下为文章原文: What is a merit increase? A merit increase is a salary raise companies offer professionals for outstanding work achievements or performance. Depending on the industry and company, merit increases may be provided annually or based on the projects completed. Merit increase vs. pay raise Typically, companies offer pay raises annually or biannually for the entire workforce, department, or specific positions. Pay raises ensure that a company’s salaries are competitive and align with the cost of living. While it’s completely acceptable for people to ask for a raise if they think they’re underpaid, raises aren’t necessarily connected to performance. Merit increases, on the other hand, are directly related to work performance. Businesses offer merit increases to highly valuable professionals in specific positions to reward, encourage, and show appreciation for productivity and accomplishments. What is a standard merit increase? The average merit increase stands at about 3 percent of a person’s current salary. Depending on the person’s performance and value to the company, merit increases typically range anywhere from 1 percent for lower performers to 10 percent for high-performance professionals. Understanding how companies treat merit increases is important. Professionals should address this topic specifically during the interview process to properly gauge whether a company’s annual compensation policies match their expectations and needs. Why do companies give merit increases? Companies incorporate merit increases to recognize top performers’ achievements and dedication. Merit increases can also spur increased workplace productivity by igniting everyone’s drive to improve work quality. Ultimately, by providing an incentive to elevate work performance, the company can build a productive, goal-oriented work culture and increase its bottom line. Why should HR leaders care about merit increases? While merit increases definitely aren’t the only way to retain talent, they can help. By rewarding high-performers with extra compensation, the company demonstrates that it values them and their contributions. Thus, merit increases are another way to say “thank you, we appreciate your service.” A well-designed and effective merit increase program that rewards deserving professionals can boost employee retention, productivity, and engagement. Keeping high-quality employees engaged and motivated can minimize the number of new people a company must recruit and hire, thus reducing costs. Moreover, implementing a well-planned merit increase system can help retain stellar team members who significantly contribute to the company’s success. Who should get a merit increase? Merit increases aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay. Not everyone is a high-performance worker. Furthermore, paying an extra 3-5 percent compensation increase over several years or decades can be costly. That’s why merit increases are intended only for professionals with outstanding achievements who directly drive business goals. Make sure you offer merit increases to people only after undergoing a process of establishing merit increase criteria, evaluating performance reviews, and having executives review each candidate. How do you calculate a merit increase? To understand how to calculate a merit increase, let’s take a look at an example. Say you offer a 3 percent merit increase to someone who currently earns $80,000 annually and receives a monthly paycheck. Current salary x merit increase percent = annual raise 80,000 x .03 = 2,400 annual raise New salary/amount of paychecks per year = new monthly salary 82,400 / 12= $6,866.66To ensure that the merit increase is within budget and the position’s salary range, HR leaders can collaborate with compensation managers to build a merit matrix–an easy-to-read grid that displays accurate calculations and competitive salary increases. What can HR leaders do to implement merit increases? HR leaders can create a merit increase system that promotes employee engagement, retention, and productivity using these guidelines: Look at other determining factors. Because merit increases aren’t the only components involved in driving engagement and retention, consider other central HR factors first: Do people have what they need to work comfortably? Does the position offer work flexibility? Is the company culture inclusive and accepting of thought diversity? Are there appropriate learning and development opportunities? Once you’ve analyzed the other core factors, you can home in on the merit increase. Determine what qualifies people for a merit increase. To identify which positions and people are vital to business success, evaluate how difficult it is to find someone to replace that person or fill that role. How much does this position or person impact the company’s business goals and strategy? When assessing peoples’ professional worth, rely on data from several channels such as frequent performance reviews, 360-degree reviews, and talent analytics. Define the criteria. Make sure the criteria are realistic. You want the requirements to spark hard work while still respecting work-life balance. The criteria ideally should stimulate motivation rather than disappointment and resentment. Make the criteria accessible to everyone. Communicate the merit increase criteria by including it in the employee handbook and explaining it to managers. This way, professionals can understand which benchmarks they need to reach to qualify. Offer frequent merit increases. HR leaders can provide merit increases throughout the year so that every time an employee reaches a set goal, HR can reward them for their performance with a competitive, budgeted merit increase that drives engagement and productivity. Take a holistic approach. Relying on merit increases alone won’t create the desired results of increased employee engagement, productivity, and retention. However, implementing merit increases into a company culture that respects and appreciates its people, offers competitive base salaries, and boasts managers who can coach and mentor their people is the foundation of business success. Why should merit increases be part of modern HR strategy? Merit increases are great tools HR professionals can use to boost retention and productivity. A company that recognizes and rewards peoples’ achievements and performances shows that it appreciates its people and their contributions. When incorporated into a comprehensive approach towards employee wellbeing, merit increases can help keep professionals enthusiastic and engaged.

Employee happiness is a fairly straightforward concept referring to the state of having a positive attitude and outlook on one’s work. Happy people are excited to go to their workplace. They enjoy what they do and the people they work with. They have high levels of employee engagement and job satisfaction. But just because employee happiness is a relatively simple idea doesn’t mean it’s easy to achieve in your organization. It requires deliberate thought and effort from HR professionals to create a positive employee experience throughout the entire employee lifecycle. Why is employee happiness important? A quick look at some employee happiness statistics reveals that it is an essential element of organizational success. Essentially, if you want to be able to attract and retain top talent, you’ll have to make your people’s happiness a priority. Taking a look at the numbers, 69 percent of people will reject a job offer if they find out that the company’s employees are generally unhappy. In addition, 75 percent of unhappy employees want to leave their current roles. What’s the relationship between employee happiness and productivity? There is also an important relationship between employee happiness and productivity, as happy professionals are 20 percent more productive than their unhappy counterparts. One survey demonstrates the link between happiness and performance, showing that people with excellent performance are about 15 percent happier at work than those with poor performance. How can you measure employee happiness? With the apparent importance of employee happiness in the workplace, it becomes clear that HR leaders must make it a priority to start measuring employee happiness. As a qualitative measure, the best approach to measure employee happiness is to use an employee happiness survey. Also called an employee satisfaction survey, this tool uses a variety of questions to explore how happy the people in an organization are with their role, team, manager, company, and more. Some great questions to include in an employee happiness survey are: Do you feel connected to your co-workers? Do you have a positive relationship with your manager?

To ensure your survey is as efficient as possible, use an employee survey tool designed specifically for measuring your people’s satisfaction with work. How can you improve employee happiness? Once you have a sense of your people’s happiness levels, the next step is to build a strategy aimed at increasing employee happiness. There are many factors known to contribute to employee happiness that you can address to improve the employee experience at your organization. Some steps to take are: Give recognition and rewards. Eight-two percent of employed adults consider recognition an important part of their happiness at work, so if you don’t already have an employee recognition and reward program in place, now is the time to build one. Offer flexible work arrangements. In the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, work-life balance and flexible work arrangements have repeatedly emerged as an increasingly important priority for people in the workplace. Help people grow and develop. The modern professional isn’t happy staying in the same job with no progress year after year. Investing in people’s careers and providing professional development opportunities is an excellent way to boost happiness. Develop relationships. When it comes to happiness, strong relationships are everything, with 70 percent of employed professionals saying that having friends at work is the most crucial element to a happy working life. Why should employee happiness be part of modern HR strategy? Investing in employee happiness isn’t just a plus: It’s a must.

For a healthy, high-performing organization, the modern HR professional must make it a priority to both measure and improve employee happiness.

    【HR术语】什么是员工满意度?(What is employee satisfaction?) 什么是员工满意度? 员工满意度是指专业人员对其公司和工作的总体满意度。高水平的员工满意度意味着雇主满足了员工在各方面的需求,如薪酬和福利、同事和经理关系、职业机会以及为工作场所注入意义。 员工满意度为何重要? 满意的专业人员可以为公司做出更大的贡献。 例如,过低的薪酬、工作场所中的欺凌行为或过重的工作量,都会影响工作效率、创新、协作和高工作绩效。 虽然员工满意度并不是推动成功的唯一因素,但它却是员工参与、提高底线、改善客户服务和树立积极品牌的主要因素。 如何提高员工满意度? 人力资源专业人员无法控制人们的幸福感或对工作的态度,但他们可以整合各种做法来提高员工满意度。人力资源部门可以采取的一些实际步骤如下 让感恩成为一种常规做法。说 “谢谢 ”会对参与度产生长期影响。认可员工的辛勤工作、成就和奉献精神,可以为他们的工作生活增添意义,并为他们注入持久的动力。 鼓励有效管理。管理者对员工满意度起着至关重要的作用。微观管理、缺乏赏识和组织混乱的管理者会对员工满意度产生负面影响。相反,那些能够有效沟通、激励团队成员并引导专业人员自主工作的管理者则能引导员工提高满意度、参与度和工作效率。 创造有意义的机会。整合成长机会有助于员工发挥潜能,找到目标。通过充足的报酬和安全的工作环境来满足基本需求至关重要。然而,如果人力资源部门能够超越基本需求,将职业发展和职业机会纳入其中,就能满足员工对成长和有意义工作的内在渴望。 沟通。缺乏沟通会导致界限和期望不明确。以明确、亲切的方式让员工了解对他们的期望,可以培养员工与雇主之间的关系。定期提供建设性反馈也有助于员工了解如何改进以及改进哪些方面。 如何衡量员工满意度? 员工满意度很难衡量。有些人可能看起来很满意,但内心可能对工作不满意。开展员工满意度调查可以帮助人力资源部门更好地评估员工对工作场所体验的真实感受。 有哪些员工满意度调查问题和工具? 公司文化、管理和有意义的工作是员工满意度的关键组成部分。因此,人力资源部门可以通过以下问题来触及这些主题: 你觉得你的同事是否团结协作? 你觉得你的经理重视你的反馈吗? 你的工作是否能让你发挥自己的技能和才能? 此外,您还可以通过员工净促进得分(eNPS)来衡量员工满意度,这是一份评估员工向朋友推荐公司意愿的问卷。 为什么要将员工满意度作为现代人力资源战略的一部分? 员工满意度是一支快乐、敬业、高效的员工队伍的先决条件。因此,通过解决员工满意度问题并将其作为优先事项,人力资源部门可以帮助建立一个财务成功、声誉良好、客户满意的公司。 以下为文章原文: What is employee satisfaction? Employee satisfaction refers to professionals’ overall contentment regarding their company and job. A high level of employee satisfaction implies that the employer is meeting people’s needs in various areas, such as compensation and benefits, co-worker and manager relationships, career opportunities, and infusing meaning into the workplace. Why is employee satisfaction important? Satisfied professionals can contribute more to their company. Low compensation, bullying in the workplace, or an overly heavy workload, for example, can detract from productivity, innovation, collaboration, and high work performance. While employee satisfaction isn’t the only factor that drives success, it is a major contributor to an engaged workforce, an improved bottom line, better customer service, and a positive brand. How can you improve employee satisfaction? HR professionals can’t control people’s happiness or attitudes toward work, but they can integrate practices to boost employee satisfaction. Some practical steps HR can take are: Make gratitude a regular practice. Saying thank you can have a long-term impact on engagement. Recognizing people’s hard work, achievements, and dedication can bring meaning to their work lives and infuse them with motivation that lasts. Encourage effective management. Managers play a critical role in employee satisfaction. A micromanaging, unappreciative, and disorganized manager can tip the scales negatively. Conversely, managers who communicate effectively, inspire team members, and guide professionals to work autonomously can steer the workforce toward satisfaction, engagement, and productivity. Create meaningful opportunities. Integrating growth opportunities helps people actualize their potential and find purpose. Satisfying basic needs through sufficient compensation and a safe work environment is crucial. Yet by going beyond the basics to include L&D and career opportunities, HR can satisfy people’s innate hunger for growth and meaningful work. Communicate. Lack of communication leads to unclear boundaries and expectations. Letting people know what’s expected of them in a clear, kind way nurtures the employee-employer relationship. Providing regular constructive feedback also helps people understand how and what to improve. How do you measure employee satisfaction? Employee satisfaction can be hard to gauge. Someone may seem satisfied, but inside they may be unhappy with their job. Running employee satisfaction surveys can help HR better assess how their people actually feel about their workplace experience. What are some examples of employee satisfaction survey questions and tools? Company culture, management, and meaningful work are key components of employee satisfaction. Thus, HR can touch on these topics by including questions such as: Do you feel your co-workers collaborate as a team? Do you feel your managers value your feedback? Does your job allow you to use your skills and talents? Additionally, you can measure employee satisfaction through employee net promoter score (eNPS), a questionnaire that assesses how willing people are to recommend the company to friends. Why should employee satisfaction be a part of modern HR strategy? Employee satisfaction is a precondition for a happy, engaged, productive workforce. So by addressing and prioritizing employee satisfaction, HR can help build a financially successful company with a positive reputation and satisfied customers.

    【HR术语】什么是静默辞职?(What is quiet quitting?) 什么是静默辞职? 静默辞职指的是员工只履行职位说明中规定的职责,在没有正式晋升和加薪的情况下选择不承担额外责任的现象。 社交媒体平台和媒体上流行着两种对 “静默辞职 ”的解释。第一种是指为了工作与生活的平衡,故意降低职业抱负。第二种是指只做最基本的工作以获得薪水。 静静辞职是真的吗? 在 COVID-19 大流行期间,随着各地的人们开始将健康和心理健康置于工作之上,“静静地辞职 ”开始崭露头角。最近的研究表明,超过一半(59%)的美国工人至少有中度的职业倦怠。压力与日俱增,心理健康状况不佳,再加上当前通货膨胀率居高不下,难怪 #quietquitting 目前在 TikTok 上的视频总浏览量已超过 9760 万次。 社会科学家提出了一种被称为 “队列效应 ”的现象,用以解释一个改变整个人群生活的事件如何促使一代人的心态发生转变。 无论我们是将 “默默辞职 ”定义为拒绝为公司做出超越自我的贡献,还是将其定义为从职业阶梯上爬下来,重新专注于实现工作与生活的更大平衡,很明显,这一概念已经成为对企业文化的一种挑战。 人力资源领导者为什么要关注 “安静辞职”? 静默辞职反映了组织中日益增长的不快乐情绪,而如何结束静默辞职并提高员工满意度则取决于人力资源领导者。静默辞职者可以为人力资源领导者提供视角,提醒他们需要加强沟通,并采取以人为本的留任策略,从而帮助结束静默辞职。 人力资源领导者应该关注静默辞职,因为: 这可能是职业倦怠和压力的表现。大流行病之后,人们和企业都在与全球性的心理健康危机搏斗,这已经不是什么秘密了。职业倦怠通常是工作动力失调、工作与生活失衡以及缺乏支持的症状。归根结底,这可能是团队成员正在遭受痛苦的信号。 公司文化和基础设施可能会导致默默辞职。值得考虑的是,为什么您的团队看起来缺乏动力?他们的角色是否足够具有挑战性?您的团队觉得他们的声音被听到了吗?你的政策有责任吗?考虑这些可能性可以帮助人力资源领导者在组织内部培养社区和协作文化,重新吸引员工。 员工可能感到不被赏识或得不到支持。如果团队中的某个成员觉得自己未被赏识,他们就更有可能脱离自己的岗位。为管理人员提供与团队成员定期进行一对一会谈所需的时间、培训和工具。经常性的 “签到 ”有助于向员工展示你对他们的关心,帮助他们减轻压力,提高参与度。 技能差距和人才短缺。尽管经济衰退迫在眉睫,但仍有人辞职,加入 “辞职大军”。根据对 “大辞职潮 ”的研究,他们离开工作岗位是为了创业或成为自由职业者。这只会加剧当前的技能短缺问题。企业依靠优秀的专业人才来发展壮大,尤其是在艰难时期。现在是时候做出艰难的决定,了解什么样的福利和工作文化能激励你的优秀员工留在你身边,并吸引具备企业所需技能的专业人才。 好消息是,无声辞职为我们提供了一个独特的机会,我们可以引入新的战略来支持团队,从而自然而然地提高工作效率。 如何防止无声辞职? 把员工和他们的健康放在首位。倾听他们的担忧和挣扎,并以实际行动做出回应。如果员工感到疲惫不堪,应在公司文化中强调工作与生活平衡的重要性。这可能意味着提供更多的灵活性,允许团队成员自己制定日程安排(如果可能的话)。还可以包括提供远程工作机会,或以补贴的形式为育儿、健康套餐或心理健康提供支持。 无声辞职如何影响公司文化? 当员工感到倦怠和脱离工作时,会降低士气,导致更多的人辞职。如果您所在的企业出现了悄悄辞职的现象,请将其视为刷新公司文化的一个机会。与公司决策者合作,制定以人为本的业务战略,强调健康的企业文化,优先考虑福利、透明度和团队合作,让每个人都能感受到自己的声音。 以下为文章原文: What is quiet quitting? Quiet quitting refers to the phenomenon where employees fulfill only the duties specified in their job description and choose not to take on additional responsibilities without an official promotion and pay raise. Two interpretations of quiet quitting are popular across social media platforms and media outlets. The first refers to the deliberate reduction of career ambition in favor of work-life balance. The second refers to performing only the bare minimum required to receive a paycheck. Is quiet quitting real? Quiet quitting rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people everywhere began to prioritize health and mental wellness over work. Studies have recently revealed that more than half (59 percent) of American workers are experiencing at least moderate levels of burnout. Pair increasing stress and poor mental health with current high rates of inflation and it’s no wonder #quietquitting currently boasts over 97.6 million total video views on TikTok. Social scientists proposed a phenomenon known as the “cohort effect,” to explain how a life-changing event, shared by an entire population, commonly prompts a generational shift in mindset. Whether we define quiet quitting as the refusal to go above and beyond for your company, or as climbing down from the career ladder to refocus on a greater work-life balance, it’s clear that the concept has emerged as a challenge to hustle culture. Why should HR leaders care about quiet quitting? Quiet quitting captures a growing sentiment of unhappiness in an organization, and it’s up to people leaders to find ways to end quiet quitting and improve employee satisfaction. Quiet quitters can provide perspective for HR leaders, calling attention to the need for greater communication and people-led retention strategies that can help end quiet quitting HR leaders should care about quiet quitting because: It can be indicative of burnout and stress. It’s no secret that in the wake of the pandemic, people and businesses are wrestling with a global crisis in mental health. Burnout is often a symptom of dysfunctional work dynamics, work-life imbalance, and lack of support. Ultimately, it could be a sign that a team member is suffering. Company culture and infrastructure may contribute to quiet quitting. It’s worth considering why your team seems unmotivated: Is their role challenging them enough? Does your team feel that their voice is heard? Are your policies to blame? Considering these possibilities can help HR leaders foster a culture of community and collaboration within an organization and re-engage people. People may feel unappreciated or unsupported. If a member of the team feels underappreciated, they’re far more likely to disengage from their role. Provide managers with the time, training, and tools they need to have regular one-on-one meetings with their team members. Frequent check-ins go a long way to showing your people you care, help reduce stress, and boost engagement. The skills gap and talent shortage. Despite a looming recession, people are still quitting their jobs and joining the Great Resignation. According to research on the Great Resignation, they’re leaving the workforce to start their own business or become freelancers. This only compounds the ongoing skills shortage. Businesses rely on talented professionals to thrive, especially in tough times. Now is the time to make hard decisions and understand what kinds of benefits and work cultures will motivate your best people to stick with you—and attract the professionals with the skills your business needs. The good news is that quiet quitting presents a unique opportunity to introduce new strategies to support your team–so that productivity flourishes naturally. How can you prevent quiet quitting? Make your people and their wellbeing your top priority. Listen to their concerns and struggles and respond with action. If people are feeling burned out, emphasize the importance of work-life balance in your company cultures. This can mean offering more flexibility in allowing team members to set their own schedules (if possible). It can also include offering remote work opportunities or support in the form of subsidies for childcare, health packages, or mental wellness. How does quiet quitting affect company culture? When people are burned out and disengaged, it can decrease morale and cause more people to check out. If quiet quitting is on the rise in your organization, think of it as an opportunity for a company culture refresh. Align with company-decision makers to create a people-focused business strategy that emphasizes a healthy culture, prioritizes wellbeing, transparency, and team work where every voice feels heard.

    【HR术语】什么是职位定价?(What is job pricing?) 什么是职位定价? 职位定价是指如何为组织内的特定职位确定合适的薪酬。 它包括分析内部和外部的各种因素,以制定一个有竞争力的、公平的薪酬标准,使其与工作职责、要求和市场价值相匹配。它是薪酬战略的重要组成部分。 职位定价的重要性是什么? 制定有竞争力的薪酬方案对于吸引优秀人才加入组织和留住有价值的员工至关重要。如果薪酬低于市场水平,就会导致高离职率,并给招聘有技能的候选人造成困难。 根据员工的工作职责、技能和经验给予合理的薪酬,意味着他们更有可能在工作中感到满意。 这可以激励他们全力以赴,提高工作效率,因为他们会觉得自己的努力得到了认可和回报。 但是,如果工作定价错误,就会造成充满怨恨的工作环境。 影响职位定价的因素有哪些? 工作职责: 一份工作的复杂程度和职责会影响其薪酬水平。责任越大、决策权越大、战略重要性越大的工作通常报酬越高。 技能和经验: 工作所需的技能和专业知识水平也有影响。需要专业技能或丰富经验的工作往往薪酬较高。 行业和地点: 高需求行业或生活成本较高的地区可能会提供更高的薪酬来吸引和留住人才。 内部公平: 职位定价还应考虑确保组织内部薪酬公平的需要。这可以确保具有相似工作角色和职责的人员获得相似的薪酬。 薪酬基准: 这包括使用外部市场数据,如薪酬调查和行业基准,以确定市场上类似工作职位的通用薪酬标准。 职位定价步骤 但具体如何确定职位价格呢?首先,主要是进行全面分析,确定合适的薪酬(使用薪酬分析模板对此很有帮助)。 您可以将职位定价过程分为以下几个步骤: 工作分析: 进行工作分析,了解工作的具体职责和要求。这包括收集有关工作职责、资格和经验水平的数据。 市场调研: 利用薪酬调查和行业报告,了解市场上类似职位的薪酬标准。 内部评估: 通过与组织内的其他职位进行比较,评估该职位的内部价值。这样可以确保薪酬标准的一致性和公平性。 确定薪酬范围: 根据职位分析、市场调研和内部评估,为该职位确定一个有竞争力的薪酬范围。薪酬范围应考虑最低、中点和最高薪酬。 决定个人薪酬: 一旦确定了薪酬范围,就应根据候选人或员工的资历、经验和表现来决定薪酬范围的渗透率(该范围内的具体薪酬)。 职位定价策略和最佳实践 使用多种数据来源(如行业调查、政府数据和市场研究)来确保您的定价准确、公平,这一点非常重要。 请记住,市场是会变化的,因此职位定价应该是薪酬管理流程中的一个常规部分。养成审查和更新薪酬数据的习惯,以便与市场趋势和组织需求的任何变化保持一致。 请记住,职位定价不仅仅指基本工资。最好还要考虑总薪酬,包括福利、奖金和其他激励措施,这样才能吸引并留住顶尖人才。 当然,这应该与贵公司的目标相一致。在进行职位定价时,应考虑公司的财务健康状况、长期可持续发展和留住人才的目标。 同样重要但容易被忽视的是,在职位定价过程中保持对员工的薪酬透明度。这有助于解决薪酬不平等问题,并建立员工信任。 遵循这些最佳实践,您就能制定出成功的职位定价策略,让员工和企业都能从中受益。 以下为文章原文: What is job pricing? Job pricing is how you establish the right compensation or salary for a specific job within an organization. It involves analyzing various factors, both internal and external, to set a competitive and fair pay rate that matches the job’s responsibilities, requirements, and market value. It’s an essential part of your compensation strategy. What is the importance of job pricing? Creating a competitive pay package is crucial for attracting top talent to the organization and retaining valuable employees. If the pay is below market rates, it can lead to a high turnover rate and create difficulties in hiring skilled candidates. Giving people fair compensation for their job responsibilities, skills, and experience means they’re more likely to feel satisfied at work. It can motivate them to perform at their best and increase their productivity because they’ll feel that their efforts are recognized and rewarded. Get the job pricing wrong, though, and it can contribute to a work environment rife with resentment. What are the factors affecting job pricing? Job responsibilities: A job’s complexity and responsibilities influence its pay rate. Jobs with greater levels of responsibility, decision-making authority, and strategic importance usually get higher compensation. Skill and experience: The level of skill and expertise needed for a job has an impact, too. Jobs that require specialized skills or extensive experience tend to come with higher salaries. Industry and location: High-demand industries or locations with a higher cost of living may offer more pay to attract and retain talent. Internal equity: Job pricing should also consider the need to ensure equity of pay rates within the organization. It ensures that people with similar job roles and responsibilities receive similar compensation. Salary benchmarking: This involves using external market data, such as salary surveys and industry benchmarks, to identify common pay rates for similar job positions in the market. Job pricing steps But how exactly do you set the job price? To start off with, it mainly involves carrying out a thorough analysis to determine the right salary (it’s helpful to use a compensation analysis template for this). You can break the job pricing process into the following steps: Job analysis: Carry out a job analysis to understand the specific responsibilities and requirements of the job. This includes gathering data on job duties, qualifications, and experience levels. Market research: Use salary surveys and industry reports to understand the pay rates for similar job positions in the market. Internal evaluation: Evaluate the job’s internal worth by comparing it to other roles within the organization. This ensures that pay rates are consistent and fair. Establish a compensation range: Based on the job analysis, market research, and internal evaluation, establish a competitive compensation range for the position. The range should consider the minimum, midpoint, and maximum salaries. Decide on individual salaries: Once you establish the compensation range, you’ll decide on the salary range penetration (the exact salary within that range) based on a candidate’s or employee’s qualifications, experience, and performance. Job pricing strategies and best practices It’s important to use multiple data sources, such as industry surveys, government data, and market research, to ensure your pricing is accurate and fair. Keep in mind that markets do change—so job pricing should be a regular part of your compensation management process. Make a habit of reviewing and updating compensation data to align with market trends and any changes to your organization’s needs. Remember, job pricing doesn’t just refer to base salaries. It’s also best to consider total compensation, including benefits, bonuses, and other incentives—so you can attract and retain top talent. Of course, this should be consistent with your organization’s goals. Consider your company’s financial health, long-term sustainability, and retention objectives when carrying out the job pricing process. What’s equally important, but can be overlooked, is maintaining pay transparency with your people about the job pricing process. It can help with tackling pay inequality and builds employee trust. By following these best practices, you’ll be setting yourself up with a successful job pricing strategy—one that benefits both your employees and the organization.

    【HR术语】什么是员工援助计划?(What is an employee assistance program?) 什么是员工援助计划(EAP)? 员工援助计划,简称 EAP,是以工作为基础的计划,旨在发现并帮助团队成员应对可能阻碍他们在工作中发挥最佳水平的个人挑战。 从人际关系问题、心理健康问题到药物滥用问题,员工援助计划都是一个组织致力于营造健康、心理稳定和提高生产力氛围的象征。 员工援助计划范例 EAP 可以根据每个工作场所的独特需求进行调整和定制。它们可以包括一系列服务,例如: 保密咨询。为员工提供一个安全的避风港,让他们可以就个人和工作相关的问题和压力获得指导。 法律指导。为从家庭法到财务问题等各种法律情况提供可靠的建议。 健康计划。通过以健康为中心的举措(如健身房会员资格和营养咨询)提升员工的幸福感。 转介服务。帮助您的团队成员找到有用的外部资源,如康复中心或托儿服务。 财务咨询。允许员工获得财务规划方面的援助,尤其是在人生重大转折时期。 员工援助计划的益处 员工援助计划可为团队成员和组织带来多种益处: 提高士气和工作效率。EAP 可以通过解决对员工的注意力产生负面影响的任何个人问题来提高工作效率。 减少缺勤。有了 EAP,许多导致缺勤的问题都会得到解决,缺勤率也会大幅下降。 增强工作场所的心理健康。EAP 通常会提供心理健康服务,营造一个更健康的工作空间,让员工认识到健康心理的重要性。 减轻工作压力。EAP 提供压力管理资源,有助于营造更轻松的工作环境。 留住员工。通过为个人问题提供支持,企业可以提高团队成员的忠诚度,降低员工流失率。 员工援助计划的缺点 尽管员工援助计划有很多好处,但它也有一些潜在的缺点: 费用。实施和维护 EAP 可能会造成经济负担,尤其是对小型企业而言。 利用率低。团队成员可能会因为缺乏认识、认为有污点或担心保密性而不使用该计划。 有效性。EAP 的成功取决于服务质量。如果服务质量不佳或处理不当,该计划可能不会有效,反而会浪费时间和金钱。 如何实施员工援助计划 推出有效的 EAP 是一个精心策划的过程,涉及多个步骤: 第 1 步:确定需求 首先要对团队成员进行调查或组织焦点小组,以了解他们的需求以及造成他们压力的原因--无论是经济压力、工作与生活的平衡、人际关系问题还是心理健康问题。这有助于您定制 EAP,以应对团队面临的具体挑战。 第 2 步:选择计划 现在是时候选择一个能满足团队需求的 EAP 了。这可以是由人力资源部门管理的内部计划,也可以是由第三方专家提供的外包计划。 第三步:沟通 既然您已经选择了 EAP,下一步就是向您的团队成员介绍它。您可以通过电子邮件、通讯或团队会议等各种沟通渠道,让他们了解该计划的所有细节、服务和好处。营造鼓励使用的环境。其中至关重要的一点是向团队成员保证计划的保密性,减轻他们可能存在的任何潜在恐惧。 第四步:培训 除了沟通,提供培训课程或研讨会向团队成员介绍 EAP 也很重要。他们应该知道如何使用该计划,并了解该计划能为他们做些什么。 第 5 步:监控和调整 实施 EAP 并不是整个过程的最后一步;计划的成功取决于持续的监控和调整。定期收集团队成员的反馈意见,审查计划的使用率和成果。它是否有助于减少压力和缺勤?团队成员是否更满意,工作效率是否更高?根据这些信息,您可以做出或大或小的调整,帮助改进 EAP,确保它始终对每个人有益。 EAP 如何影响公司文化?

Employee assistance programs, or EAPs for short, are work-based programs designed to identify and assist team members in handling personal challenges that might be holding them back from performing their best at work. From relationship troubles and mental health issues to grappling with substance abuse, EAPs are a symbol of an organization’s dedication to cultivating an atmosphere of wellness, mental stability, and boosted productivity. Employee assistance program examples EAPs can be adapted and tailored to fit every workplace’s unique needs. They can include a range of services such as: Confidential counseling. Offering a safe haven for your people where they can get guidance for both personal and work-related issues and stresses. Legal guidance. Providing reliable advice for legal situations, from family law to financial issues. Wellness programs. Promoting employee happiness through health-centric initiatives such as gym memberships and nutritional counseling. Referral services. Helping to connect your team members to helpful external resources, like rehabilitation centers or childcare services. Financial advice. Allowing access to aid for financial planning, particularly during significant life transitions. Employee assistance program benefits EAPs provide a wide range of benefits for both team members and the organization: Boosted morale and productivity. EAPs can elevate productivity by addressing any personal issues that are negatively impacting an employee’s focus. Reduced absences. With access to EAPs, absenteeism can significantly drop as many issues leading to absence get resolved. Enhanced mental health in the workplace. EAPs often incorporate mental health services, fostering a healthier workspace that embraces the importance of a healthy mental state. Less workplace stress. Offering resources for stress management, EAPs can contribute to a more relaxed work environment. Employee retention. By providing support for personal issues, an organization can increase team member loyalty and reduce turnover. Disadvantages of employee assistance programs Despite the fact that EAPs come with multiple benefits, EAPs do come with a few potential downsides: Expense. Implementing and maintaining EAPs might be a financial burden, especially for smaller businesses. Under-utilization. Team members might not use the program due to a lack of awareness, perceived stigmas, or confidentiality concerns. Effectiveness. The success of an EAP depends on the quality of services. If subpar or mishandled, the program might not be effective and can be a waste of both time and money. How to implement an employee assistance plan Rolling out an effective EAP is a carefully planned process involving several steps: Step 1: Identifying needs Start with conducting surveys or hosting focus groups with team members to understand their needs and what is causing them stress—whether that’s financial stress, work-life balance, relationship troubles, or mental health concerns. This helps you to tailor your EAP to address the specific challenges facing your team. Step 2: Selecting a program Now it’s time to choose an EAP that caters to your team’s needs. This could be an in-house program managed by your HR department, or it could be an outsourced program provided by a third-party specialist. Step 3: Communication Now that you’ve selected your EAP, the next step is telling your team members about it. You can let them know all of the details about the program, its services, and its benefits through various communication channels like emails, newsletters, or team meetings. Create an environment that encourages its usage. A crucial aspect of this is to assure team members about the confidentiality of the program, alleviating any potential fears they may have. Step 4: Training In addition to communication, providing training sessions or workshops to introduce the EAP to your team members is important. They should know how to access the program and understand what it can do for them. Step 5: Monitoring and adjusting Implementing the EAP is not the final step of the process; the program’s success depends on continuous monitoring and adjusting. Regularly gather feedback from team members and review the usage rates and outcomes of the program. Is it helping to reduce stress and absenteeism? Are team members more satisfied and productive? Based on this information, you can make small or large adjustments that help to improve the EAP and ensure it remains beneficial for everyone. How do EAPs impact company culture? EAPs can positively influence a company’s culture. They communicate the organization’s genuine care about employee wellbeing, beyond their professional contributions. By offering tools to manage personal and professional challenges, EAPs cultivate an inclusive, supportive environment with the result often leading to increased team satisfaction, engagement, and loyalty—contributing to a vibrant company culture. Fostering a happier, healthier working environment Through a comprehensive understanding of what an employee assistance program is, we can harness its benefits to create healthier, more resilient workplaces. EAPs remind us that our team members are not just employees but real people navigating through complex life situations. By supporting them, we invest in the strength—and the overall happiness—of our organization and help build a strong, lasting company culture.
