What makes the Best HR Team?

RedBalloon is proud to be sponsoring the ‘Best HR Team’ category in this year’s HR Leadership Awards to recognise the industry leaders and to say thanks and give back to the 1500 organisations that support us.

Now more than ever, HR Teams around Australia are being called to make tough decisions. Naomi Simson, CEO of RedBalloon recently named in Australia’s top ten Best Places To Work says “this award is about recognising the best HR Teams that do not look upon their people as ‘resources’ who are there to fulfill roles, but rather as people who have families, friends and a life. “

The award also acknowledges the fact that HR Teams should be included in any business strategy. The most successful reward and recognition programs work when the HR team has the greatest influence and this is because of their powerful influence as communicators across all parts of the organisation.

According to Naomi “unless the HR Team partners with the business, receiving full support from the top then actions that influence behavioural change and productivity will not be embraced.”

Naomi advocates the defining characteristics of a Best HR Team to be: resilience, communication, efficiency, persistence, enthusiasm and sensitivity. Many people forget that the HR function deals with the employee experience - people’s lives and career experiences.
