HR isn’t just about payroll, hiring, or compliance anymore. It plays a defining role in how a company grows, adapts, and competes. Yet, many organizations still treat HR as an administrative afterthought, leaving it out of strategic conversations until problems surface. Symptoms like misaligned hiring, skill shortages, and unclear performance metrics arise when HR is sidelined from strategic planning.

As the pressure to secure the best talent mounts, HR is rightly questioning the real value of one of our most favoured talent tools – the 9 Box Grid. Just in case there are any non-HR people reading this, the 9 Box Grid requires you to place your team members in one of the 9 boxes by assessing their performance (low, medium or high) along one axis and their potential (little, some or lots) along the other.

LW#1: I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt by taking your question on face value: I’m going to assume you actually are genuinely concerned for your employee’s health and believe that they are killing themselves. And that’s tragic, of course! It’s awful to see someone we care for seemingly hurting themselves and wanting to help is a commendable impulse.

Furthermore and the real issue is some jerks think this is sound reasoning and applies to everyone else.

In reply to Summary ftw. This is interesting because I really don’t think this is an adversarial relationship. Employers want to make the right decision: they don’t want to be rejecting people for reasons like “wrote a bad CV” or “don’t like the layout”, they want to be rejecting them for reasons like “doesn’t have the relevant experience” and “isn’t aligned with our organisational mission” I think an application which

As payroll systems become more digital and automated, employees are increasingly disconnected from understanding their paychecks. This is a timely concern for HR leaders, as financial stress continues to affect workplace wellbeing and engagement. In fact, a PwC survey of over 3,600 full-time employees revealed that those experiencing financial stress are nearly five times more likely to report being distracted at work by personal finance concerns.

In reply to Free Meerkats. “Free money” is like free food: some people will take the absolute maximum for themselves every time, e.g. that letter from a receptionist where the employer gave everyone up to $20 to order in lunch. She said her coworkers always used the maximum $20 and didn’t tip the drivers.

Choosing the right HR technology often comes down to a critical trade-off: deep functionality from best-of-breed tools or seamless integration from all-in-one suites. All-in-one HR suites bundle everything from payroll to performance under one roof, streamlining data flow and reporting. While specialized tools often push innovation at a faster pace, they can introduce integration headaches and added IT overhead.

In reply to Summary ftw. I mean, yeah, you can frame it that way if you want — if you have one job available and twenty candidates, it is as much about rejecting the wrong nineteen as it is about identifying the best candidate for that role. You can’t not do that, even if you do it by lottery! What makes it moral or immoral is how transparent and respectful your process is and making sure you are using the best and most relevant possible criteria.
