How to Rebuild Employee Trust in HR - The Framework That Jumped Engagement 23 Points

from Don't Talk To HR · host Amy H-R

Connect with and hire Amy HR: https://www.hrrevolt.com/contact HR is supposed to advocate for employees. Employees think HR only protects the company. Executives agree. Both sides see it, and neither side trusts the other because of it. So how do you fix a reputation problem that's baked into the job description? In this episode, Amy and Neeru get into the tension between the corporate police role and the employee advocacy role, why those two functions are fundamentally at odds, and what happens when HR tries to play both at the same time.  They break down the "flipping the pyramid" framework they built at GlobalLogic, where employee and management advisory councils engaged employees on solving big problems and helped drive engagement scores up 23 points during a pandemic. They also share what trust through transparency actually looks like in practice, why they believe investigations should be pulled out of HR entirely, and how layoffs destroy trust when handled without empathy.
