Innovative HR Ideas for Employee Engagement and Work-Life Balance

Dear All,

We have Innovation Day coming up shortly. Kindly let us know what innovations can be implemented by the Human Resources department. This could be in terms of employee engagement initiatives, staff welfare, etc. Please share your ideas.

Thanks & Regards,
Malini

Hi Malini,

It all depends on how big your company is. Then, I can guide you. Just mention the turnover, number of employees, and CMMI standards.

Dear Malini,

If you want to implement innovative HR initiatives, especially regarding employee engagement activities, consider involving their personal lives as well, as it plays a significant role in work-life balance. Organize interaction programs involving their family members to address any issues your employees may be facing, and strive to motivate them. If you provide details about your company and the types of employees (white-collar, blue-collar, etc.), I will do my best to assist.

Best regards,
Manoj

Dear Friend,

Every department in the organization, including HR, should be a business associate to the business leader (CEO). Taking this as a topic, conduct a competition amongst employees on how they can be true business associates to your business leader. For example, as an HR executive, you should be able to help the business leader in terms of people support, policies support, and process support, which should directly translate into adding value to the business leader's objectives.

Best wishes

Dear Malini,

Kindly introduce a 'birthday leave policy' in your organization.

Dear All,

Thank you for the ideas and replies. I work for the Taj Group of Hotels in Bangalore as an HR Executive (TATA Company), and every month we have an innovation day where each department presents their innovations. It is a real tough competition to win, but I feel participation is more important than winning or losing.

I have been thinking of innovative ideas to increase employee morale, boost motivation levels, and develop employee-friendly initiatives, new processes, or systems. Please let me know, or kindly share some of the best practices implemented in your organization's HR Department that have been found suitable and viable, so we may consider implementing them.

Thanks and Regards,
Malini

Dear Malini,

I write a blog on Innovation & creativity where you will find different ways of thinking to generate ideas. I understand that creating innovation every month is a tough job. Innovation is not just about creating ideas but about creating sustainable ideas. For that, you need to constantly find new ways of doing the same thing or doing entirely new things. Please visit my two links and let me know if you need further information:

How about the introduction of a WEDDING ANNIVERSARY LEAVE POLICY? Sounds funny, doesn't it?

With profound regards

Dear Ms. Malini,

Get feedback from your employees about the same. Perhaps they will suggest something more interesting than we have ever heard. Kindly do share the same with us.

With profound regards,

Hello Malini,

One good option would be to start an 'Ideas & Innovation' program in your organization. Please share an 'Ideas & Innovation' form with all your employees and ask them to submit it to the HR dept. You (HR Team) along with the senior management can select the best idea or innovation and reward that employee with an 'Innovator of the Month' award. This will really help generate healthy competition among employees.
