Employee Leasing
Employee leasing, also known as professional employer organization (PEO) services or co-employment, is a business arrangement where a company contracts with an external organization to handle various human resource (HR) functions and employer responsibilities.
Research has shown that outsourcing human resources to a PEO helps companies “grow 7-9 percent faster, have 10-14 percent lower turnover, and are 50 percent less likely to go out of business. (Source: napeo.org)

استبيانات نبض الموظفين
وهي عبارة عن استبيانات قصيرة يمكن إرسالها بشكل متكرر للتحقق من رأي موظفيك حول مشكلة ما بسرعة. يتألف الاستبيان من عدد أقل من الأسئلة (لا يزيد عن 10 أسئلة) للحصول على المعلومات بسرعة. ويمكن إجراء هذه الاستبيانات على فترات منتظمة (شهرية/أسبوعية/فصلية/فصلية).
اجتماعات فردية:
يعد عقد اجتماعات دورية لمدة ساعة لإجراء محادثة غير رسمية مع كل عضو من أعضاء الفريق طريقة ممتازة للتعرف على ما يحدث معهم. نظرًا لأنها محادثة آمنة وخاصة، فإنها تساعدك في الحصول على تفاصيل أفضل حول مشكلة ما.
eNPS:
eNPS (صافي نقاط المروجين للموظفين) هي واحدة من أبسط الطرق الفعالة في الوقت نفسه لتقييم رأي موظفيك في شركتك. وهي تتضمن سؤالاً واحداً مثيراً للاهتمام يقيس الولاء. من أمثلة أسئلة eNPS ما يلي: ما مدى احتمالية توصيتك بشركتنا للآخرين؟ يجيب الموظفون على استبيان eNPS على مقياس من 1 إلى 10، حيث تشير 10 إلى أنهم "من المرجح جدًا" أن يوصوا بالشركة و1 إلى أنهم "من غير المرجح جدًا" أن يوصوا بها.
بناءً على الإجابات، يمكن تصنيف الموظفين في ثلاث فئات مختلفة:
- المروجون
الموظفون الذين استجابوا بشكل إيجابي أو وافقوا. - المنتقدون
الموظفون الذين كان رد فعلهم سلبياً أو غير موافق. - السلبيون
الموظفون الذين التزموا الحياد في ردودهم.
