What a difference a year makes. 12 months ago People Teams and HR departments around the country were fighting tooth and nail for any competitive advantage to attract and retain top talent because they were growing so quickly. Today, many of those same departments are looking at ways to weather the economic lull as headlines of layoffs run amok.
As organizations take stock of their year ahead, it’s becoming evident that the one area investments must remain strong in is the people who are weathering an equivalent level of uncertainty to the organizations that employ them. With job uncertainty comes myriad side effects that can have an impact on an employee’s mental well-being both in and outside of work, and it’s yet another layer of responsibility that falls on the shoulders of already-overworked people teams.
In this way, it’s more important than ever to invest in your people to let them know they are supported by your organization not only when times are good, but also when you’re running a little lean.
The rise of LOAs
As leave of absence requests continue to climb due to the reduction of stigmas (woohoo!) and the increase of stress (opposite of woohoo!), the emphasis on a positive leave experience has never been more critical to company health. A leave of absence can be a tipping point between an employee that feels supported by their employer and them walking out the door, which only furthers the uncertainty of the rest of your staff.
Tilt’s leave management solution goes way beyond the efficient tech tool People Teams use and love for lifting the burdens and confusion surrounding LOA management. We’re an opportunity for you to show that the “there when you need us” relationship goes both ways.
Employees need to know that in the same way they continuously stand up and deliver when asked upon by their employer, their employer will stand up and do the same when life comes crashing down like a ton of bricks.
Tilt supports People Teams and their people
People Teams aren’t immune to these stresses either. Which makes the pressure to be experts in all things leave feel even more monumental on top of their regular duties. Today HR is being asked to do all of the administrative tracking of who’s on leave and what forms they need to fill out and file, they need to keep up with payroll, and also make sure managers aren’t having a foot-in-mouth moment that can find you in legal hot water is too much for most to handle, let alone to do all of that in a way that results in a positive experience for the person taking the leave.
Tilt is in investment in your people, and it’s in investment in you. We take all the guesswork out of the leave journey by streamlining all processes and doing so with a beating heart. With a dedicated staff of Leave Success Managers, investing in Tilt is like investing in an extension of your team whose sole purpose is to support your people when they need it most.
