The power of clean language in the workplace

HR must talk the language of business leadership

Assess the current state of the market you are operating in and, whenever possible, attend conferences and industry events. So, if you want HR to be a breeze, give it a try—where tech meets talking, making work life better for everyone. Some folks also refer to it as “conversational search” or “talking to your computer”—different ways to describe this cool way of getting the info you want without any hassle. And as the change comes from those in the team, rather than being imposed from above, the changes stick because they are easier to implement and more sustainable. Clean language coaching is about creating a space where everyone can be heard, whatever their opinion.

Unless you can communicate in a language that the board understands, you have no chance of translating your ideas and proposals into real HR initiatives. You have to shift out of “I’m in Charge” or “We’re in Charge” mode and into “We are All in This Together” mode to get the benefits I mentioned, but it doesn’t cost anything. It’s a simple turn of the dial, and you can start the shift by conversing with your employees using a human voice and a non-authoritarian tone.

“When someone can’t get help for six hours or are waiting on an answer, people get up in arms about it, why these things are so slow.” “We know at the machine learning level what is the precision, recall, accuracy, the right metrics for that, and then the conversation metrics, and then the resolution metrics,” explained Nivargi. “We want to make sure the conversation metrics all end in resolution.”

Make sure you’re getting the most out of your people so they can contribute more to the bottom line. If your people aren’t successful, your business will not be successful. “That’s where things are starting to evolve where instead of sending an email, and getting no replies, people are using our tool to essentially send an expert into your messaging tool,” he explained. That bot is able to handle questions that arise by the employee, rather than leave that individual hanging after they’ve received the notice. “I was late for a meeting today by a few minutes, and I was apologizing, because we are so hyper-focused now on our timing,” reflected Shah.

Data-driven management in the hybrid workplace

“There is no communication,” is the most common complaint HR receives at the end of the day. The reason for this is that we need to understand the thinking process of leaders. Early customers for the new modules include Nutanix, Palo Alto Networks, and AppDynamics. Metaphors are key in clean language coaching to convey differing ideas quickly and effectively and can support leaders to visualise how they lead at their best. Just lose the official tone and the invisible podium from which so many internal communications are delivered.

The benefits of effective human resources management include increased employee satisfaction, understanding employee motivations and providing the best employee experience. HR professionals can get real-time insights on employee performance, and they can set up alerts that go to the human resources team as well as to individual managers. HR departments can now leverage AI tools like ChatGPT to streamline their processes and achieve greater efficiency. ChatGPT can be a powerful tool for HR professionals in a variety of ways, including automating repetitive tasks, providing real-time support to employees, and enhancing the overall employee experience. With the sudden move to remote work, businesses were forced to readjust priorities. Finance teams and HR teams that usually didn’t communicate were forced to address and solve immediate human capital issues.

Raising the HR literacy of middle managers is critical, because they are the ‘concrete layer’ between the downward cascade of strategy and the reality of front-line behaviour. This ‘air-pocket’ of people is often one of the most important groups to bring on-board if HR is to add value and your organisation is to succeed. Targeting these managers and developing individual programmes for them is often the only way over the hurdle.

With instant access to documents, employees can also collaborate more effectively and keep work moving without unnecessary delays. The result is a more agile, responsive workplace that’s built for the demands of modern business. It’s about removing friction, automating the mundane and creating environments where people can focus on what matters.

At first glance, the human resources and finance teams seem totally dissimilar. One focuses on the happiness and productivity of internal employees, and the other is laser-focused on generating and increasing revenue. But when you look closer and truly distill what each of these teams do, they’re actually pretty similar. And when their goals are aligned, revenue usually sees quite a significant boost. HR should encourage teams to reframe language to make it about everybody- the ‘four in four’.

  • These problems include confusing jargon, poorly defined goals, weak metrics, and an ongoing debate about what HR’s role is.
  • Bertrand de Laleu, global vice president of HR at L’Oréal, said the scope of global business is expanding.
  • The Moveworks software has the potential to become an even broader tool with the so-called communications module, which uses the chat bot function more broadly for sending proactive messages to employees.
  • And that complexity of reaching and enabling employees has translated into employee frustration and impatience with traditional processes, said Shah.
  • At Nuffield Health, over 12,000 employees have completed this emotional literacy training, with 94% saying they’d feel confident supporting a colleague showing signs of emotional distress.

And as such we often don’t have a shared understanding of terms and meaningful conversations can be difficult. Traditionally the dialogue around mental health has been dominated by a ‘medical model’ that references illness, diagnosis and conditions. However, with the emphasis on ‘what is wrong with you’, people don’t see mental health as something that exists on a continuum, that can be improved upon.
