Most people don’t know that the original lyrics to the iconic song “Changes” by David Bowie were, “Time may change me, but I can’t do any of the passion projects I want to do because I’m stuck toiling away on administrative tasks that drain the joy out of my life.” A few rounds of edits were necessary to make it the tune we all know today, but the original spirit he planned on injecting into the track is an all-too-familiar reality for People Operations leaders across the country.
There’s simply never enough time in the day to take your passion projects from backup dancer to the center stage spotlight, but by using Tilt to manage your leaves of absence, the ch-ch-ch-ch-changes to the amount of free time you’ll find yourself with can turn you into the passion-fueled HR rockstar you planned on being when you got into the biz.
With our intuitive leave management software, in-house leave law experts, and empathetic leave success managers, Tilt can save you up to 10 hours a week by taking care of your least favorite to-do with ease and compassion. With leave management off your plate, you can spend more time doing what you love. Like…
1. Implement Employee Engagement Programs
Every HR Leader wishes they had more time to focus on implementing programs that really matter to improving the work lives of their employee population. Depending on where your specific passions lie, with Tilt you could finally have the bandwidth to institute initiatives like mentorship programs, team-building activities, or recognition and rewards programs. Most people within an organization don’t realize how much time it takes to integrate programs like these, and just how much of a positive impact it can have on the employees at large.
2. Spearhead Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives
If the concept of corporate social responsibility fuels your fire, think of the headway you can make in enacting organizational change without toiling away with FMLA tracking or researching leave laws in states you’ve never stepped foot in. There aren’t enough hours in your day to organize volunteering activities and community outreach programs, or implement sustainable and socially responsible practices for your organization while handling all of your administrative tasks. Take the leave of absence management burden off your plate with Tilt and turn your company into a socially responsible organization you and your peeps can feel proud of.
3. Improve DEIB+ Support
HR leaders such as yourself likely (hopefully) already spend considerable effort toward building an inclusive environment for each and every one of your employees. Even still, we know you’d love to do more if you could. With less time spent managing leaves of absence you can allocate even more bandwidth behind Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging efforts. Whether it’s bolstering your employee resource groups (ERGs), organizing internal awareness campaigns, implementing diversity training programs, or partnering with external organizations to drive change, Tilt frees you up to build the inclusive culture your employees deserve.
4. Focus on Leadership Development
If helping employees reach their max potential revs your HR engine, the free time you’ll find thanks to Tilt to help can be shifted away from frustrating leave law Google searches and fielding questions about your insurance carrier’s state benefits support. Instead, you can focus on developing the future leaders of your organization by designing and facilitating training sessions, workshops, or coaching programs to help employees augment their leadership skills in preparation for future roles.
5. Employee Wellness Programs
From mental health to physical health, employees who feel better live better, and employees who live better are able to bring their best selves with them to the workplace. As much as you’d like to bring health to the forefront of the minds of employees, it simply takes a massive amount of time and energy to develop and incorporate comprehensive wellness programs that focus on promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being in the workplace. Time that is currently being wrapped up in manually facilitating your leave of absence processes when you don’t need to be!
