5 Ways to Support Your Employees and Help them Perform Under Pressure

In 2016, Swiss bank UBS identified 71 cities with the longest average working week per worker. Two Indian cities ‘featured’ in the Top 10 – Mumbai at #2 and Delhi at #4.

Japan’s workaholic culture has spawned the term karoshi (death by overwork) with overworked workers committing suicide out of despair still a common occurrence.

In India, although karoshi incidents are rare, there are still huge costs associated with overworked employees. So if you are a firm’s manager, what can you do to help your employees cope with work stress? How can you ensure that under-pressure employees are not sick employees – or worse – suicidal employees?

Try these 5 strategies:

  1. Acknowledge your employees’ efforts and don’t be stingy with ‘downtime’

If your employees are pulling all-nighters to meet huge targets or working weekends to help the company meet its goals, tell them you appreciate it. Let them take time off without making them feel guilty or worried that they will be punished for it later. Throw them a party or take them out for a meal. Even ordering some pizzas and giving people half a day off can work wonders with morale.

  1. Encourage open communication that goes beyond a token ‘open-door policy’

Promote a culture that blends informal check-ins with more formal performance reviews. This can help managers identify stressed employees and design strategies to help. The latter can include setting up a confidential helpline, redesigning their workflow, instituting a ‘wellness’ programme or providing an on-staff psychologist or free therapy.

  1. Walk the talk: Promote REAL work-life balance!

The term ‘work-life balance’ has become a cliche in corporate parlance. Some companies use it just to promote a rosy image of themselves to clients, potential employees or other stakeholders. But if you truly want your employees to be happy at work, you have to find ways to make work-life balance part of official company policy. Institute strict working hours, discourage employees from working on weekends, encourage them to eat healthy, exercise and pursue hobbies, and allow occasional telecommuting.

  1. Encourage them to learn and grow

Provide opportunities for upskilling and reskilling can help employees feel better-equipped to cope with the stresses of work task lists. Help them build confidence by identifying their training needs and ensuring that those needs are met. Even coaching and mentoring – inexpensive ways to let them know you care about their progress – can help. Upside for you – more loyal employees!

  1. Promote a culture of accountability and ‘ownership’

Companies and its employees often work in separate vacuums where the ‘twain never meet’. Communicate your firm’s purpose to them and encourage them to ask questions, provide feedback and offer suggestions. Help them make sense of their KPIs. Encourage them to be accountable for their work (no buck-passing!) so they understand the difference their contribution makes to the company’s goals and aspirations.

Why HR Software Plays Vital Role At Construction Sites?

Tik- Tok, Tok tok!!! That’s the sound we always here at construction sites, right? Construction companies face unique challenges with HR management due to the highly mobile and ever-changing nature of the work. However, managing employees well and recruiting the right people is absolutely critical in the construction industry. A great HR software solution can help you keep your information straight while empowering your employees so your projects are completed efficiently.

Simplify Time and Attendance Tracking

When you have employees working at multiple job sites and performing various tasks, managing time and attendance can become difficult. HR software solutions may offer several different options for time and attendance tracking that can make it much easier to keep track of every employee than manual time keeping. Employees may be able to clock in using a mobile device or submit their own time sheets for review.

To make record keeping more comprehensive without any extra work, many HR software solutions filter time and attendance information into relevant areas like payroll, benefits, and performance tracking modules. Having this information automatically update can help management to spot things like attendance issues or compliance gaps at a glance. The information will also be stored so that it can be retrieved as needed.

Manage Payroll Challenges

Payroll is automatically expedited when time and attendance information is updated regularly, but HR software can help with other construction payroll challenges, as well. HR managers may have to differentiate union from non-union wages, figure out how to pay contractors versus employees, and deduct according to varying tax rates. The right HR software solution will allow you to set rules that can automate these calculations and prevent errors.

Ensure Compliance with HR Legislation

Construction is inherently a vigorous and labor intensive job, so there are many regulations in place to protect employees. HR software can keep managers and HR professionals updated on all compliance needs, while also making it possible to track and report with just a few clicks. This can help to prevent costly penalties, but it can also keep employees and clients safer by allowing you to easily track and view issues that could potentially cause hazards.

Streamline Recruitment and Set High Standards

Recruiting for a construction company can be difficult. There’s a specific skill set that’s required for any given position, with many different positions needed to accomplish every job. When a single position is vacant or an employee has an attendance or performance issue, it can delay projects or reduce the quality of the work being performed by your company.

Using HR software for recruitment allows you to tap into a larger talent pool and use stringent guidelines and screenings for selecting your new employees. With the right systems in place, you can raise your hiring standards and reduce the time to hire.

Continuously Train Employees

While on the job training is critical, HR software can be used to track certifications and link to learning management systems for theory-based training. Having continuous training in place makes succession planning easier and ensures that your employees have all of the required certifications. Many systems can also be set up to provide alerts regarding certifications that are about to expire.

A HR software solution makes it easier to manage your people, so that they can manage your construction projects.

4 Big Challenges Facing HR Professionals in the Healthcare Industry

The healthcare industry has always had to operate under a certain amount of pressure.

Since their work is critical to the health and well-being of so many, healthcare professionals deal with incredible levels of stress you won’t find in other professions. And recent trends indicate that the pressure is only going to increase.

So, what is the role of the human resources software of spine plays?

From small rural clinics to big city hospitals, human resources in healthcare will also feel the pressure. These professionals face issues like staffing shortages, employee burnout, and more. To overcome these hurdles, HR must better understand the how and why behind each one.

1. Staff Shortages

One of the most pressing human resource issues in healthcare involves recruiting.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics “projects the need for an additional 203,700 new RNs each year through 2026 to fill newly created positions and to replace retiring nurses.” In addition, it’s estimated that there will be a total of 1.2 million vacancies for nursing positions by 2022.

There are a number of factors contributing to this problem. First, as members of the baby boomer generation continue to age, their massive numbers create a considerable workload for medical professionals. It’s affecting the problem from the inside as well, as nurses from that generation are beginning to retire and leave the workforce in droves.

Over here our spine HRM software’s recruitment module plays vital role, as our software is designed to handle end number of user and data base which makes new recruitment easy as it was never before

2. Turnover Rates

In addition to hiring shortages, hospitals and clinics are also struggling to retain the excellent staff members they already have. With so many jobs open to medical professionals, it’s all too easy for staff to leave if they’re unhappy or dissatisfied.

Over the last several years, the average turnover rate for hospitals has been creeping upward. In 2018, hospitals experienced the highest turnover rate in over a decade, and since 2014, the average hospital has turned over 87.8% of its entire workforce. And the numbers suggest that things may only get worse.

These high turnover rates are costing hospitals millions. The cost of replacing a bedside nurse is about $52,100, resulting in the average hospital losing $4.4M – $6.9M a year.

To exclude this type of expensive turnover rates we have integrated  performance management system (PMS) in our spine software. Which evaluate & appraise each and every staff of your hospital or clinic. This will automatically gets a clear picture of your precise employees.

3. Employee Burnout

The issue of employee burnout is tangled up in the issues of staff shortages and turnover.

Burnout is caused in part by staffing shortages, and it has a compounding effect on employee turnover. On top of that, burnout has a negative impact on both patient care and patient safety, as emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion leaves providers (doctors and nurse practitioners included) unable to perform their best.

Recent surveys have found that burnout rates for nurses are as high as 70 percent, while burnout rates for doctors and nurse practitioners can reach as high as 50 percent. These statistics reflect an epidemic, the ramifications of which include poorer patient health. There’s a significant correlation between these burnout rates and increases in patient infection rates. Patients can see the impact of burnout, too; they report lower satisfaction rates in facilities where burnout rates are higher.

Those decreased satisfaction rates could be the result of emotional distance on the part of clinicians. This can only be solved easily from spine HRMS, In Spine HRMS you can easily ask for surveys and feedback. Apart, from that each and every employees can be measured from performance module and can be provided training and induction to discover & nurture skills with learning route and roster.

4. Training and Development

As mentioned previously, employees in the medical field today are looking to learn new skills and gain access to advancement opportunities.

And providing this kind of employee engagement is a critical job of HR in the healthcare industry.

Many in the nursing profession intend to further their careers by becoming nurse practitioners, doctors, or nursing managers, and more and more often they expect help along that journey from their employers.

Conclusion

The medical field can be difficult and stressful, and as the people tasked with managing and supporting doctors and nurses, Spine HRMS in healthcare need to be partners with practitioners in improving employee engagement, job satisfaction, and in turn, the quality of patient care.  With the right tools, they can help employees become more effective—and more satisfied—in their work.
