Top 4 Practices used at Platinum Staffing for the New People and Culture Space
Read about our top 4 best practices relating to how we support our employees' health and wellbeing, and why the shift from HR to People and Culture is important for our clients.
Platinum Staffing is shifting from Human Resources to People and Culture – here’s why you should too.
The field of Human Resources (HR) has undergone a significant shift in recent years, moving away from a focus on traditional HR tasks such as payroll and administration, to a more holistic approach centred around People and Culture (P&C). This change is derived from the recognition that a company or organisation’s success is directly linked to its employees’ enthusiasm, engagement, and overall well-being.
Platinum Staffing aims to utilise this shift to encompass the values of Human Resources by putting the employee first.
How Platinum Staffing supports our employees’ health and wellbeing:
- training
- mentoring
- mental and physical health,
- helping individuals to meet their own personal goals.
People and Culture is a critical component of a company’s success. It is responsible for talent acquisition, retaining and advancing employees, and most importantly, fostering and maintaining a strong company culture.
Encompassing a wide range of factors including work-life balance, employee satisfaction, diversity and inclusion, and much more, P&C professionals must be creative and strategic thinkers. They are responsible for addressing the aforementioned duties whilst always striving for the development of their companies, staying at the forefront of trends, social issues, and welfare strategies. This requires a strong understanding of the company goals and values, whilst never losing sight of the individual strengths and needs of each employee.
How does the change from traditional Human Resources to People and Culture affect our clients?
One of the key pillars of P&C is the emphasis on employee engagement. This refers to the way in which a company is able to foster an environment where employees feel supported, valued, and motivated to do the best they can. This can be maintained through a wealth of different avenues, including team-building activities, recognition for outstanding achievements/efforts, opportunities for professional development, and most importantly, keeping an open line of communication between management/owners and employees. Another important aspect of P&C is bringing the employee’s overall health the forefront, promoting both mental and physical health by introducing programs and resources that aid in these areas.
Another important aspect of P&C is the focus on inclusion and diversity. Not only does this positively affect employees, but it also allows a wide range of perspectives and ideas and an overall greater understanding of client/customer needs. To build a truly inclusive culture, companies must always be cognisant of making a concerted effort to recruit and retain diverse talent and create an environment where all employees feel respected and valued.
The shift from traditional HR to P&C is a welcome change which reflects the pertinence of employee engagement, satisfaction and overall well-being. By taking a comprehensive approach to People and Culture, companies can maintain a positive work environment and build a culture that drives success.
