    【HR术语】什么是亲和偏见?(What is affinity bias?) 什么是亲和偏见? 亲和力偏差,也被称为相似性偏差,是人类无意识地倾向于其他具有相似背景、兴趣和信仰的人的一种倾向。虽然我们可能会认为自己会根据他人的性格来有意识地选择与之相处,但事实上,我们在选择自己喜欢的人和希望与之相处的人时,并不善于保持客观。更多时候,人们倾向于亲近他人,只是因为他们会让自己联想到自己。 是什么导致了亲和力偏见? 我们可能会倾向于与自己相似的人,这有几个原因。 首先,与自己相似的人在一起是一种肯定。我们更有可能听到自己的观点和想法得到回应和支持,给我们一种被肯定的感觉。 同样,亲缘偏好让我们避免与其他不同的观点发生冲突,因为我们可能会觉得接受这些观点具有挑战性。 认识到亲缘偏见本质上是一种捷径也是很有帮助的,它可以让我们的大脑跳过真正的批判性思考,简单地将 "与我相似 "与 "好 "和 "值得纳入我的生活 "联系起来,从而节省宝贵的能量。 亲和偏差的影响 不幸的是,有时捷径会让我们迷失方向,而亲缘偏好也会带来一定的负面影响。由于不自觉地倾向于与我们相似的人,我们错过了认识许多迷人的、有价值的人的机会。 我们最终会反复强化自己的观点和文化信仰。缺乏差异或挑战会导致我们无法看清自己的世界观,使我们缺乏同理心和理解力,有时甚至会对与我们 "不同 "的人产生恐惧。 招聘中的亲和偏见 亲和偏见最隐蔽、最有害的地方之一就是招聘。毕竟,招聘人员、招聘经理和人力资源领导者也难免会受到无意识偏见的影响。 因此,尽管招聘团队可能认为他们在客观地选择最佳候选人,但他们可能在不知不觉中选择了那些与他们长相和思维相似、背景相似的人。这在最好的情况下有可能造成同质化的工作场所,在最坏的情况下有可能造成非包容性、歧视性的工作场所。 亲和偏见有哪些例子? 亲缘偏见会以多种方式偷偷出现在你的思维中。例如,你可能会因为某人和你上同一所大学,就认为他受过良好教育;或者因为某人曾在你工作过的同一家公司工作过,就认为他胜任某个职位。 这种思维方式会以多种方式影响组织。工作场所亲缘偏见的一些例子包括: 聘用不符合特定职位要求的候选人 放弃值得晋升的人 领导者否定不同的新想法 忽视对员工的表扬和奖励 亲和力偏见最终会损害组织的员工、公司文化和生产力。 亲和偏见与多样性和包容性之间有什么联系? 需要考虑的一个重要问题是,亲和力偏见会如何影响贵组织的 DEI&B。因为当招聘人员和领导者总是聘用、晋升和培养与自己相似的人时,就会造成员工队伍中充斥着相同背景的人,从而破坏了多样性。这种无意识的偏见是包容性的障碍之一,它使少数群体身份的人无法在各级劳动力队伍中享有平等的代表权。 如何避免亲和偏见? 由于亲和偏见的危害性很大,人力资源领导者必须意识到并积极预防和扭转亲和偏见。有几种方法可以做到这一点: 公开谈论亲和偏见,以便人们在工作中更容易识别亲和偏见 让不同背景的多人参与招聘和晋升决策 在招聘过程中采用匿名和随机的方式 为包括 C 级、人力资源、经理和团队成员在内的所有人举办无意识偏见培训 为什么现代人力资源团队应该意识到亲和偏见? 我们无法控制作为人类自然持有的无意识偏见。但是,当这些偏见会对我们组织的文化、包容性和成功产生负面影响时,我们就有责任学习如何减少亲和偏见。采取积极措施,消除我们自己的内部偏见,最终将使决策更具战略性,工作场所更加公平。 以下为文章原文: What is affinity bias? Affinity bias, also referred to as similarity bias, is the unconscious human tendency to gravitate toward other people with similar backgrounds, interests, and beliefs. While we may think that we actively make conscious choices to surround ourselves with people based on their character, the reality is that we aren’t very good at being objective when choosing who we like and want to be around. More often than not, people tend to gravitate towards others simply because they remind them of themselves. What causes affinity bias? There are several reasons why we might gravitate toward people like us. First, being around others like ourselves is affirming. We’re more likely to hear our opinions and thoughts echoed and upheld, giving us a sense of validation. Similarly, affinity bias allows us to avoid confrontation with other, different points of view that we may find challenging to accept. It’s also helpful to realize that affinity bias is essentially a shortcut, allowing our brains to save valuable energy by skipping real critical thinking and simply associating “similar to me” with “good” and “worth including in my life.” Effects of affinity bias Unfortunately, sometimes shortcuts get us lost, and affinity bias comes with its fair share of negative impacts. By unconsciously gravitating toward people similar to us, we miss out on the opportunity to get to know many fascinating, worthwhile people. We end up reinforcing our opinions and cultural beliefs repeatedly. The lack of difference or challenge can lead to an inability to see past our own worldview, making us less empathetic and understanding and sometimes even leading to a fear of others who are “different” from us. Affinity bias in hiring One of the places where affinity bias is most insidious and harmful is in hiring. After all, recruiters, hiring managers, and HR leaders are not immune to unconscious bias. So while hiring teams may think they’re objectively choosing the best candidates, they may be picking people who look and think like them and come from similar backgrounds without even realizing it. This risks creating a homogenous workplace at best and a non-inclusive, discriminatory workplace at worst. What are some examples of affinity bias? There are many ways in which affinity bias can sneakily show up in your thinking. For example, you might assume that a person is well-educated because they went to the same university as you or that somebody is qualified for a role because they previously worked at the same company you did. This type of thinking can affect an organization in multiple ways. Some examples of affinity bias in the workplace include: Hiring candidates who are not the most qualified for a given role Passing over deserving people for promotions Leaders dismissing new, different ideas Overlooking people for praise and rewards Ultimately, affinity bias can harm your organization’s people, your company culture, and your productivity. What’s the connection between affinity bias and diversity and inclusion? One important thing to consider is how affinity bias can affect your organization’s DEI&B. Because when recruiters and leaders are always hiring, promoting, and nurturing people similar to themselves, it creates a workforce full of people of the same backgrounds, destroying diversity. This unconscious bias is one of the barriers to inclusivity that keeps people of minority identities from equal representation in the workforce on all levels. What can you do to avoid affinity bias? Because it can be so harmful, HR leaders must be aware of and actively work toward preventing and reversing affinity bias. There are several ways to do this: Speak openly about affinity bias, so people can more easily identify it at work Involve multiple people of different backgrounds in hiring and promotion decisions Introduce anonymity and randomization to the recruitment process Hold unconscious bias training for everyone, including C-levels, HR, managers, and team members Why should modern HR teams be aware of affinity bias? We can’t control the unconscious biases we naturally hold as human beings. But when they can negatively impact our organization’s culture, inclusivity, and success, it becomes our duty to learn how to mitigate affinity bias. Taking active steps toward dismantling our own internal biases will ultimately make for better, more strategic decision-making and a more equitable workplace.

    【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.

    【HR术语】什么是薪酬管理?(What is compensation management?) 什么是薪酬管理? 薪酬管理是管理、分析和确定每位员工的薪酬、奖励和福利的过程。薪酬管理是任何人才管理和保留战略的重要组成部分。创造性的薪酬包括货币和非货币福利,公司可以利用这些福利来提高员工的参与度和工作效率、减少人员流失并吸引顶尖人才。 薪酬管理者的目标是在公司预算范围内提供广泛且具有竞争力的薪酬计划,从而吸引、留住并吸引员工。 薪酬管理确保员工根据以下因素获得合理的薪酬: 工作表现 职位 职责 工作经验 工作市场 公司预算 人力资源领导为什么要关注薪酬管理? 有效的薪酬管理对雇主和员工都有好处。专业人员如果能获得合理的基本工资、丰厚的福利和奖励,就更有可能留在自己的工作岗位上,并保持较高的绩效水平和士气。 有效的薪酬管理能促进员工的参与度,从而推动公司取得成功。 薪酬的主要类型有哪些? 薪酬不仅仅包括基本工资。完整的薪酬方案包括各种直接和间接的薪酬类型。 直接薪酬的四种类型是: 小时工资 工资 佣金 奖金 还有间接薪酬,包括为人们提供价值的任何东西,如: 退休福利 保险(医疗、牙科、人寿等) 带薪休假 利润分配和股票期权 学费补助以及学习和发展机会 托儿补助 健身房会员卡 搬迁费用 免费食物、办公室健身房、活动等福利 如何确定薪酬? 决定为任何特定人员提供的具体薪酬方案的因素很多,包括与公司所在地和市场有关的外部因素,以及与职位和候选人有关的具体因素。计算薪酬的一些考虑因素包括: 公司的支付能力 该地区类似职位的典型薪酬范围 竞争对手的薪酬水平 当地的生活成本 职位--如果是高技能工作,可能需要更高的报酬 应聘者、他们的资历以及他们的薪酬预期 是否适合使用激励性薪酬管理,这是一种通常用于销售职位的薪酬类型,其中个人的薪酬与业绩成果挂钩 人力资源领导者如何确保有效的薪酬管理? 人力资源领导者可以通过以下方法指导薪酬管理部门制定和实施成功的薪酬计划: 制定并应用薪酬理念。薪酬理念正式记录了公司在工资、奖金和福利方面的政策。它还体现了公司对透明度的承诺。始终坚持薪酬理念,可以向员工和求职者展示公司的诚信。 解释薪酬计划。人力资源部门可以向应聘者和新员工说明薪酬计划的组成部分,帮助吸引和留住一流人才。 设计稳健的薪酬战略。人力资源领导者可与管理人员和专家合作,提供全面的薪酬计划和丰厚的福利,以提高员工的生活质量。 评估结果。汲取经验总是有帮助的。人力资源领导者可以通过薪酬记分卡分析薪酬管理的结果,了解哪些有效,哪些无效,从而提高薪酬管理的效率。 薪酬管理软件 薪酬管理软件是近年来大受欢迎的一种工具。该软件用于帮助人力资源专业人员管理、计算和组织薪酬数据。薪酬管理软件具有多种功能,对于希望简化和优化薪酬管理流程的组织而言,这些功能具有很高的价值,其中包括: 存储所有有关薪酬、任期和绩效的最新数据,供所有利益相关者(人力资源、财务、C 级和管理人员)使用 改进薪酬决策的工具和数据规划和管理薪酬审查的工具 奖金和股权分配 通过本地化货币视图和本地薪资基准进行国际货币管理 薪酬管理点解决方案与人力资源信息系统 正如您所看到的,薪酬管理软件提供了许多有用的功能,对参与薪酬决策和管理的专业人员和团队非常有用。但是,它属于点解决方案,也就是说,它是一种可以帮助解决单一问题的工具。这意味着它的实用性有限。 而人力资源信息系统(HRIS)等平台解决方案则可为人力资源团队处理的各种问题提供多种解决方案。人力资源信息系统不仅能帮助管理薪酬,还能帮助管理绩效、工资、考勤等。 从根本上说,你可以把人力资源信息系统和点解决方案看作是瑞士军刀和简单的镊子。二者都很有用,但由于一个具有多种功能,因此能够提供比另一个更多的价值。因此,如果你的企业需要在整个员工生命周期的流程优化和自动化方面得到帮助,人力资源信息系统可能正是你要找的东西。 为什么薪酬管理规划应成为现代人力资源战略的一部分? 薪酬管理可确保雇主和员工的财务成功和福利,让双方都感到满意。将薪酬管理纳入公司的人力资源战略,有助于组织以市场范围内的薪酬、应得的奖金和激励措施奖励员工,改善员工的生活方式。它还能让雇主向员工表达他们的感激之情。 赏识对员工的积极性和参与感大有裨益。它还能激励员工通过提高生产率和工作质量来回报雇主。所有这一切都会促成一种由快乐和热情的员工组成的公司文化。 以下为文章原文: What is compensation management? Compensation management is the process of managing, analyzing, and determining the salary, incentives, and benefits each employee receives. Compensation management is a crucial part of any talent management and retention strategy. Creative compensation includes monetary and non-monetary benefits companies can employ to boost engagement and productivity, reduce attrition, and attract top talent. Compensation managers aim to attract, retain, and engage employees by offering broad and competitive compensation plans within the company budget. Compensation management ensures that people get paid a fair salary based on: Work performance Position Responsibilities Experience Job market Company budget Why should HR leaders care about compensation management? Effective compensation management benefits both the employer and the employee. Professionals who receive a fair base salary, generous benefits, and incentives in return for their work are much more likely to stay at their job and maintain a high performance level and morale. Effective compensation management fuels employee engagement and thereby leads to company success. What are the main types of compensation? Compensation includes far more than just a base salary. The full compensation package includes a variety of compensation types, both direct and indirect. The four types of direct compensation are: Hourly pay Salary Commission Bonuses There is also indirect compensation, which includes anything that provides people value such as: Retirement benefits Insurance (medical, dental, life, etc.) Paid time-off Profit-sharing distributions and stock options Tuition assistance and learning and development offerings Childcare assistance Gym memberships Relocation expenses Perks such as free food, an office gym, events, and so on How is compensation determined? Many factors go into determining the specific compensation package offered to any given person, including external factors relating to the company’s location and market as well as factors relating specifically to the role and the candidate in question. Some considerations that go into calculating compensation include: What the company can afford to pay Typical salary range for similar roles in the region How much competitors are paying The local cost of living The role—if it is a highly-skilled job, it may require higher compensation The candidate, their qualifications, and their compensation expectations Whether or not it is appropriate to use incentive compensation management, which is a type of compensation usually used for sales roles in which the person’s compensation is tied to their performance outcomes What can HR leaders do to ensure effective compensation management? HR leaders can guide compensation management towards building and implementing successful compensation plans with these methods: Develop and apply a compensation philosophy. A compensation philosophy formally documents the company policies regarding salaries, bonuses, and benefits. It also demonstrates a company’s commitment to transparency. Consistently adhering to a compensation philosophy demonstrates company integrity to employees and job candidates. Explain the compensation plan. HR can clarify the components of the compensation plan to candidates and new joiners, helping to attract and retain top-notch talent. Design a robust compensation strategy. HR leaders can collaborate with managers and specialists to offer all-inclusive compensation plans as well as generous benefits to improve their people’s quality of life. Assess the results. It’s always helpful to learn from experience. HR leaders can analyze the results of compensation management to see what’s working and what isn’t through a compensation scorecard, which can improve the efficacy of compensation management. Compensation management software One tool that has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years is compensation management software. This software is used to help HR professionals manage, calculate, and organize compensation data. Compensation management software has several features that can make it highly valuable to organizations looking to streamline and optimize their compensation management processes, including: Storing all updated data on salary, tenure, and performance for all relevant stakeholders (HR, finance, C-levels, and managers) to access Tools and data to improve salary decision-making Tools for planning and managing salary reviews Bonus and equity allocation International currency management with localized currency views and local salary benchmarks Compensation management point solutions vs HRIS As you can see, compensation management software offers many helpful features, making it highly useful to professionals and teams involved in compensation decision-making and management. However, it qualifies as a point solution, meaning it’s a tool that can help with a single problem. This means that its utility is limited. The alternative is a platform solution like an HRIS which offers multiple solutions for a variety of problems that an HR team deals with. Rather than only helping with compensation management, an HRIS can also help with things like performance management, payroll, time and attendance, and more. Essentially, you can think of HRIS vs point solutions as a Swiss army knife vs a simple pair of tweezers. Both are useful, but one is able to offer more value than the other because of its multiple functions. So if your organization could use help with optimizing and automating processes across the entire employee lifecycle, an HRIS may be just the thing you’re looking for. Why should compensation management planning be a part of modern HR strategy? Compensation management ensures the financial success and wellbeing of employers and employees and makes both happy. Integrating compensation management into a company’s HR strategy helps organizations reward their people with market-range salaries, well-deserved bonuses, and incentives to improve their people’s lifestyles. It also allows employers to show their people that they appreciate them. Appreciation goes a long way towards making people feel motivated and engaged. It can also inspire people to give back to their employer through increased productivity and high-quality work. All of this leads to a company culture made of happy and enthusiastic people.

    【HR术语】什么是季节性就业?(What is seasonal employment?) 什么是季节性就业? 季节性就业是一种在一年中的特定时期工作的临时就业。它通常是兼职,但也有全职的季节性职位。只在一年中某些时间营业的企业,如夏令营,会雇用季节性员工。其他雇用季节性员工的公司还包括那些在节假日等高峰期需要额外帮助的公司。 季节性工作的时间有多长? 季节性工作的确切持续时间取决于各种因素,包括雇主、行业、地点和时间。工作时间从几周到几个月不等。但是,季节性工作绝不包括全年性的职位。 季节性用工对雇主有什么好处,人力资源领导为什么要关注它? 季节性用工对雇主和员工都有好处。一年中部分时间劳动力需求较高的组织可以只在需要时才在工资单上安排人员,从而节省成本。 季节性用工对员工有什么好处? 对于苦于找不到全职工作的人或需要额外收入的人来说,季节性用工是一个不错的选择。季节性用工还可以为职场新人提供一个踏入职场、积累经验并向可能长期雇用他们的雇主证明自己的途径。 人力资源领导该如何管理季节性用工? 了解包括季节性员工在内的不同员工类型的好处,有助于人力资源领导者正确聘用、管理和补偿季节性员工。因此,人力资源领导者应熟悉《公平劳动标准法案》关于季节性员工的指导方针和相关标准: 公司必须至少向季节性员工支付联邦最低工资或当地最低工资,以较高者为准。 每周工作超过 40 小时的季节性员工有权获得正常工资 1.5 倍的加班费。 14 和 15 岁的儿童只能在允许的职业中从事有限的工作时间。16 岁和 17 岁的儿童不得从事劳工部长规定的危险职业。 季节性员工与其他类型的员工一样,必须遵守预扣税法。 此外,各组织的季节性用工政策和协议应明确传达以下信息 季节性员工是兼职还是全职 季节性工人有资格享受哪些福利(如果有的话) 季节性用工何时结束 企业如何与季节性员工一起维护企业文化? 尽管季节性员工可能只在一年中的特定时期工作,但重要的是要让他们知道,他们和全职员工一样都是团队的一员。 与季节性员工建立并保持良好的关系至关重要。首先要为他们提供良好的入职体验和所有应得的福利,再加上一些额外的津贴,让他们从入职的第一天起就感觉到自己是团队的一员,受到欢迎和重视。 这些积极的经历将激励他们年复一年地回来,并对贵公司赞不绝口,从而有助于未来的招聘和公司品牌推广工作。 为什么季节性用工应成为现代人力资源战略的一部分? 现代组织非常灵活,了解非传统工作安排有时可能是满足其需求的最佳方式。现代人力资源专业人员需要对雇用季节性员工和其他类型的员工持开放态度,以支持业务灵活性并满足公司不断变化的需求。 以下为文章原文: What is seasonal employment? . Seasonal employment is a type of temporary employment in which the person works during certain times of the year. It is typically part-time, but there are also full-time, seasonal positions. Businesses that open only during certain parts of the year, like summer camps, hire seasonal employees. Other examples of companies that hire seasonal employees are those that need extra help during peak times, such as the holiday season. How long is seasonal employment? The exact length of time a seasonal job lasts depends on various factors, including the employer, the industry, the location, and the time of year. Jobs may range from a few weeks to multiple months. However, they will never include year-round positions. How does seasonal employment benefit employers, and why should HR leaders care about it? Seasonal employment has benefits for both employers and employees. Organizations with higher labor needs during part of the year can save costs by only having people on the payroll when they are needed. How does seasonal employment benefit employees? Seasonal employment is a good option for people struggling to find a full-time job or people who need a little extra income. It can also give workforce newcomers a way to get their foot in the door, gain experience, and prove themselves to an employer that might hire them permanently. What can HR leaders do to manage seasonal employment? Understanding the benefits of different employee types, including seasonal employees, can help HR leaders properly hire, manage, and compensate seasonal employees. As such, HR leaders should be familiar with the Fair Labor Standards Act’s guidelines about seasonal employees and relevant standards: Companies must pay seasonal employees at least the federal minimum wage or the local minimum wage, whichever is higher. Seasonal employees who work more than 40 hours a week are entitled to overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular pay. Children ages 14 and 15 can only work limited hours in permitted occupations. 16- and 17-year-olds are not permitted to work in hazardous occupations as defined by the Secretary of Labor. Seasonal employees are subject to the same tax withholding laws as other employee types. Additionally, each organization’s seasonal employment policy and agreements should clearly communicate information such as: Whether the seasonal worker is part-time or full-time What benefits the seasonal worker is eligible for, if any When seasonal employment ends How can companies maintain their company culture with seasonal employees? Even though seasonal employees may only work during specific times of the year, it’s important to let them know they’re just as much a part of the team as their full-time counterparts. Building and maintaining good relationships with your seasonal employees is vital. It starts with giving them an excellent onboarding experience and all the benefits they’re entitled to–plus some extra perks to make them feel welcome, valued, and part of the larger team from their first day. These positive experiences will motivate them to come back year after year and talk up your company, helping with future recruitment and company branding efforts. Why should seasonal employment be a part of modern HR strategy? The modern organization is flexible and understands that non-traditional work arrangements may sometimes be the best way to meet its needs. Modern HR professionals need to be open to hiring seasonal employees and other employee types to support business agility and meet companies’ evolving needs.
