Lifecycle

The Employee Lifecycle refers to the whole duration of an employee's time at an organisation - from initial attraction to the business to them leaving. HR is involved throughout all stages of the employee lifecycle. Let's take a look!

Development

Onboarding

Retention

Onboarding

Starting a new job can be daunting; the role of an HR specialist is to help the new starter settle in, feel comfortable and provide thorough training to help them adjust to the new position. Onboarding done correctly will result in better long-term performance of new hires - so it is worth investing time in this aspect of the employee lifecycle!

Recruitment

It is the role of HR to ensure inclusive recruitment - being aware of unconscious bias, making the role design and job advertisements inclusive by avoiding biased language and avoiding 'cultural fit' requirements that may exclude candidates.

Retention

It's the job of HR professionals to ensure that a company has a positive work culture, is flexible in terms of work-life balance, has plenty of professional development opportunities and has an overall supportive team – that's how to keep employees happy and likely to stay at an organisation long-term!

Development

HR professionals who specialise in L&D can encourage the development of employees by offering professional development opportunities – these can come in the shape of innovative learning programmes, coaching and mentoring, and implementing leadership programmes.

Attraction

HR helps businesses create safe, positive and inclusive workplace cultures that initially attract candidates to the company and role. HR departments can also implement company benefits such as cycle-to-work schemes, flexible working or access to mental health and wellbeing services to attract candidates.

Offboarding

The role of an HR professional in this stage of the employee lifecycle is to exit a team member smoothly, whilst maintaining mutual respect throughout the process. The HR professional will want to understand the employee's reason for leaving and implement strategies to improve processes based on the employee's feedback in the exit interview.
