Do you have an annual leave policy & clear guidelines on booking leave?
Do you have a framework to decline requests that don't comply with business requirements?
Does your sickness policy state that providing false info can result in a disciplinary?

@polish_linguist @CHERINGTON_HR @Claire_Hill7 There have been quite a few conversations around this today. He definitely has a HR Business Partner, we found him on LinkedIn. Doubt he's feeling valued today. I still can't understand the reason for the article though.

Do you have the right people & right skills in your workforce? A workforce plan will help take your business forward, & address turnover & inconsistent productivity.

@ManUKHour @EQSSystems I'm sure you'll have plenty to add here 😊

[Kerris Crook (HR Consultancy) @CrookHr]

@traceymj38 @oneillchef That looks lovely

[Kerris Crook (HR Consultancy) @CrookHr]

Is your workforce reaching its full potential?

Do you know how to effectively conduct employee check-ins, and give and receive feedback?

Less than half of line managers say that they have ever received any people management training.

Hi #WorcestershireHour
It's National Apprenticeship Week, & I'm currently sat here writing an apprenticeship agreement (that's amusing)
Did you see that a scheme set up to fund apprenticeship training for SMEs in the West Midlands has surpassed £21m?

@Nick_ukmfg @SixSigmaSteve @ManUKHour So very true, our managers need training on how to be good managers. More than that, we need the right succession planning & processes in place to ensure that the right people are chosen in the first place.

@ManUKHour It often depends on the individual Rep. I've worked with both extremes.

[Kerris Crook (HR Consultancy) @CrookHr]

@Nick_ukmfg @ManUKHour It's encouraging to see the number of kickstarter schemes which the industry is introducing, and at least apprenticeships are talked about much more now. However, I'm also struggling to see any other support that's been provided.

[Kerris Crook (HR Consultancy) @CrookHr]

@ManUKHour @MarkAmphlett1 There certainly seems to be a lot of growth and investment taking place, if you know where to look

[Kerris Crook (HR Consultancy) @CrookHr]

@Nick_ukmfg @ManUKHour Supported by a strong people strategy. It's so important for us to have the right people with the best skills and attitudes to help take manufacturing forwards.

@SpringForwardLS What is it with this slide, we've had it twice now...or pure coincidence? 😀
