What is the ideal leave policy? Idk if 'ideal' is the right word. What should leave policy be like ?

Many organizations have 12 days of sick leave annually. Don't y'all think it's too less? What if an employee is severely unwell and needs at least a month of bed rest?

What do you think about the following leave policy: 12 days of sick leave annually 15 days of vacation leave annually Maternity and Paternity leave, special leave (marriage, etc)

WHat changes would you want to make to this?

Hi everyone, I am little new to this, so the questions can be bit basic, please bear with us🙏 So we were initially recruiting interns and then converting them to full time employees, but we will now start to hire direct full time employees as well. I want to know what are the checks we should perform while extending an offer for a full time employment. Currently, we only ask for references contacts from them from their previous employer/s and then we verify from these contacts about the hire, their working style, tenure etc. Is there anything else we should ask for (whether required legally or not but a good practice)? And in reference checks also, what should be asked generally? Thanks in Advance!

👋 Hello everyone I am currently doing some research on the use / benefits of OKRs in organisations of different sizes. If anyone here uses OKRs in their org can we get on a quick call / I would love to understand more. https://bookings.springworks.in/#/customer/119427000000051524

<!channel> [Important announcement] Hey TSOW community! 👋 I have some important news that you can use about some upcoming changes to our Slack community. We'll use the #general channel as the spot for announcements and team-wide conversations. No more AMAs will be conducted in this channel. #random channel will be revamped to an #expert-ama channel where we will host the upcoming AMA sessions going forward. Since the AMA sessions are conducted every week, it will start getting more and more difficult from here to follow threads for conversations in the #general channel. Hence, it's best to create a separate channel to conduct expert AMAs. #resources channel will be revamped to a #fun-zone channel. It will be a place for team jokes, spur-of-the-moment ideas and funny GIFs. These changes will begin today itself i.e Wednesday, June 1, 2022. Let me know if you have any questions! Update: Changes have been made.

Hey everyone 👋 We did a poll last week wherein we asked all of you to choose the area(s) that you are responsible for or actively involved in? The option that got the highest vote was '*Employee engagement.'* I found this interesting piece on improving your employee engagement with examples of 5 companies that are getting employee engagement right: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/285052 Also, I had multiple folks reach out to me here on DMs who wanted suggestions related to employee engagement, so I decided to start a thread on it with my response.

In my organization, we announced a 'work-from-anywhere' policy and to our advantage, there is a decent number of takers for it. Since we also understand the importance of in-person meet-ups to know your teammates better, we organized an offsite in May where we all (200+ folks) met & it was so much fun! We might plan to do the next one soon. In addition, we have incorporated the L&D budget, workcation, WFH allowances and many other such employee-friendly policies.

We have set up tools in place for taking a break from talking about work. For example, automated team building quizzes, polls and virtual coffee. We made instant recognition a must-have ingredient for our employee engagement recipe and built a tool that allows us to recognize our peers instantly for their good work, without having to wait for the next town hall/award ceremony. These initiatives have helped us improve engagement significantly 📈

My response is based on a 'remote-first' work setting. I'd like other members to also pitch in their suggestions and ideas from across different workplace settings _*(remote-first/ hybrid/ office-only)*_👇 💬 How is it in your organization or companies that you consult? What are some of the interesting things been done/planned in terms of employee engagement?- let's share best practices and make it a resourceful thread 🙂

Any leads on good PoSH training companies? We're looking for some top notch ones for Squadstack.
