The business is picking up quickly, the employees are absorbed by day to day business. Managers cannot turn the tide. Subsequently, the processes are not optimized, which is why the work becomes increasingly complex. The employees cannot develop further in line with customer demand. The organization is experiencing growing pains and the HR strategy is lacking.
The circle of continuing to work amidst the issues of the day must be broken. It is really required to make time to map out the organization's strategy. And then apply the HR strategy and the structure of the organization in practice, not the other way around.
If you do not do this, the growth of the organization will decrease and turnover and absenteeism will slowly increase. 1 sick employee costs an average of 350 euros per day and just as bad, an employee is sick because of work. Increasing turnover costs – as an indication – an average of 25% of the annual salary (depending on the difficulty of the position). Turnover has an impact on the employer brand. It leads to disrupted customer contacts, knowledge disappears and job satisfaction decreases, impacting the culture of the organization. Then I don't take into account what an increasing turnover does to the team that is lagging behind.
I am often asked to step in based on my expertise in this phase of higher turnover and increasing absenteeism. I like to do that. But it is really better to have HR participate 1 phase earlier, the phase in which the HR strategy is determined for long-term growth and is applied, because that really pays off in every respect.
