The importance of systemizing managerial support to reduce HR’s workload and maximize its corporate contributions

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain the importance of systemizing managerial support to reduce the strain on human resource (HR) and maximize corporate contributions. Design/methodology/approach The author draws upon 20 years of experience in the fields of law and HR as well as data from 17 different publications. Findings Building a high-performing employer brand and workplace culture starts by better supporting managers as they navigate modern employee’s wants, needs and goals. Originality/value By systematizing how we train, engage and consistently aid managers as they navigate these new workplace expectations, companies reduce turnover, improve productivity and enhance happiness and well-being, and with these benefits, drive down HR time spent mitigating these daily hurdles. HR leaders can focus on broader and more meaningful corporate contributions with that time won back.
