"Every leader, both within and outside HR, knows about the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. But while that’s a great place to start, it doesn’t really work in the workplace, especially if you want to build a strong culture of diversity... The platinum rule is at the core of everything DEI: treat people the way *they* want to be treated. By accounting for different experiences, backgrounds, and values, you can better understand what drives the people at your organization—and you’ll have what you need to build a diverse workforce. Treat people the way they want to be treated. And be curious enough to find out what that actually means." - Andrew Adeniyi, Founder and CEO of AAA Solutions We recently spoke with Andrew on the HR Superstars Podcast about how to define and drive successful DEI strategies.

One of the mistakes many managers make when setting goals for their team is thinking of it as a top-down process. They set a goal, hand it to their employee, and expect it to get done by a specific time. Unfortunately, that’s usually a great way to ensure that goal isn’t met. ❌ Your employees need to feel like their goals represent where they want their career growth to take them. That’s why you need to encourage them to participate in goal-setting processes, especially if they’re remote. You’ll want to work with them to strike that fine balance between goals that move the organization forward and those that push that employee’s career forward. ✅

📝 HR leaders: when it comes to incorporating AI into HR processes, make sure you're doing your due diligence. 📉 Adopting an AI tool quickly without doing so can lead to a chunk of your budget going down the drain when the tool doesn’t work out (at best) or a critical project completely failing (at worst). 💡 Like any other tool, you’ll need to do a bit of research. Get buy-in from the right stakeholders, and try a pilot project before you deploy a tool to the entire organization.

With remote and hybrid employees, goals need to be crystal-clear, robust, and measurable. Whether it’s to combat proximity bias or just to get a better sense of how employees are working towards their goal when you can’t check in on them at the office, using a goal-setting methodology is essential. 🔑

There’s nothing more satisfying than looking back on a job well done. And the best way to get that feeling over and over again? Getting to work on tasks that match up with what you’re best at. 💪⭐ Unfortunately, few employees feel like they’re able to do what they do best. According to Gallup, only 30% strongly agree they can get that chance in their work, the lowest percentage since Gallup began tracking this in 2008. For increased job satisfaction in your organization, pay attention to how much employees feel like they get to do the work that is aligned with their skills and passions.

Did you know that overall job satisfaction is at one of its lowest points in 16 years? 📉 In Gallup's 2024 survey, only 18% of employees said they were extremely satisfied with their organization. Gallup has data for this question going as far back as 2008, and that number was only ever so low at a single other point: 2022. That highest point? January 2009, when 30% of employees were extremely satisfied. HR leaders: do you know what the job satisfaction levels are in your own organization?
