Creating a Better Company Culture

Company culture is everything these days when it comes to an organization’s best practices and environment. The culture of an organization is defined by its vision, values, workplace beliefs, attitude, purpose, and behaviors of the work staff. And a company’s culture ultimately plays a huge role in the success of the business.

Flex HR’s very own CEO, Jenny Morehead, recently chatted with The Next Scoop to discuss Creating a Better Company Culture and how a business can set up best practices to design a healthier overall company culture.

Jenny notes that it’s important for “people to experience joy in their work. Otherwise, what is it all for? I think enough companies have caught on to the fact that employees can find nice places to work now with good work-life balance and with people who care, and if you are not one of those companies, you’re falling behind.”

Using AI Wisely in HR and the Workplace

In the past decade, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has continued to expand into every area of the workplace, including HR.

The use of AI in Human Resources potentially saves time and money, and reduces the monotony of repetitive tasks. It can help prioritize good candidates when recruiting, for example, reducing the time spent going through hundreds of applications. It can help with payroll, aspects of training, and a host of other HR-related tasks.

In this digital age, a word of caution is needed. While AI is becoming more prominent for various job aspects, human knowledge and interaction is still necessary for others, which should never be replaced.

Using AI has helped HR to save time and focus on the issues that need a more human touch, but organizations need to continue to prioritize using human employees. Technology needs to be seen as an aid to achieve more work/life balance for employees, not a replacement for them. It’s important to create a written policy to determine when AI can be used in the workplace.
