【HR术语】嘉奖是什么意思？（What does kudos mean?）
嘉奖是什么意思？
当你给某人嘉奖时，你是在肯定他所取得的成就，并表示你的赞赏。
嘉奖的含义来自古希腊语kydos，意思是荣誉、荣耀或名声，尤其是在战斗中。
尽管 “嘉奖 ”的定义已不再与战争相关，但它仍然意味着对某人的尊敬--因其取得的成就、付出的努力或表现出的品格而对其表示尊敬。
嘉奖是对员工的一种认可。你给了他们当之无愧的荣耀和名声。这也是一种表示感谢的方式。
定期给予嘉奖，并将其作为公司工作文化的核心部分，会对公司业务的各个方面产生巨大的影响。
如今，许多公司都在使用 “嘉奖”，并取得了令人印象深刻的效果。
嘉奖有哪些用途？
在工作场所，您可以通过多种方式对他人表示嘉奖。您可以
当面感谢他们，对他们的辛勤工作表示赞赏，或肯定他们实现的目标，或肯定他们体现的公司价值。
在公司的交流平台上给他们发送私人信息或电子邮件。
在公司内网或全公司范围的电子邮件中表扬他们。
给他们一张写有手写信息的贺卡。
奖励他们一张礼品卡、一天额外年假或其他奖品。
给他们颁发嘉奖奖杯（每周颁发给值得嘉奖的人的奖杯）。
给他们和他们辛勤工作的团队一顿免费午餐。
在公司颁奖典礼上表彰他们的成就、努力和品格。
把他们放在公司的嘉奖墙上（在这面墙上，每周你都会用他们的照片和嘉奖字条给团队中的某个人一个惊喜）。
给他们加薪或晋升。
嘉奖有什么好处？
给员工嘉奖看似简单平常，却能对公司产生重大影响。
毕竟，众所周知，表彰是员工敬业度的首要驱动因素。
除了敬业度，表彰计划的好处还包括:
平均利润提高 27%
员工留任率提高，自愿离职率降低 31%
提高公司忠诚度
营造积极的环境，吸引有才华的专业人士成为新员工
提高员工满意度
提高生产力
健康的企业文化
增强信心，推动团队的创新和新创意
嘉奖对公司文化有什么影响？
确保嘉奖成为工作场所的惯例，公司可以从中获益良多。它有可能彻底改变公司文化。
但是，要产生最大的影响，公司中的每个人都需要给予嘉奖：从首席执行官和管理团队到最基层的专业人员。
无论职位高低或资历深浅，当人们互相称赞时，就会创造出一种积极健康的工作文化。这种文化能促进身心健康，帮助专业人员发挥最佳水平。
充满赞誉的工作场所能提升员工的体验。员工不仅能提高工作效率、参与度和满意度，还能相互激励，追求卓越，帮助公司发展。
仅仅是一个简单的持续性赞赏或认可行为，就能让整个公司变得更好。

What does kudos mean?
When you give someone kudos, you’re recognizing what they’ve achieved and showing your appreciation.
Kudos’ meaning comes from the ancient Greek kydos, which means honor, glory, or fame—especially in battle.
Even though kudos’ definition isn’t tied to war anymore, it still means honoring someone— honoring them for what they’ve achieved, the effort they’ve put in, or for the character that they’ve shown.
Giving a person kudos is a form of employee recognition. You’re giving them their moment of well-deserved glory and fame. It’s a way of saying thank you too.
Giving kudos regularly, and making it a central part of your company’s work culture, can have a dramatic effect on various aspects of your business.
Many companies today use kudos—with impressive results.
What are the uses of kudos?
People often say “kudos to you” as a way of expressing praise and admiration to someone who’s really earned it.
But kudos can be much more than a few spoken words.
It could also be a formal event which recognizes deserving professionals in front of the whole company, a written message of appreciation, or even a prize in the form of money or a free lunch.
Kudos can take many forms, with many companies still discovering new and creative ways to express their appreciation even now.
Examples of kudos in the workplace
There are many ways that you can give someone kudos in the workplace. You can:
Simply thank them in person and say you appreciate their hard work, or recognize a goal they’ve achieved, or a company value that they’ve embodied.
Send them a private message on your company’s communication platform, or in an email. Praise them on your company intranet, or in a company-wide email.
Give them a greeting card with a handwritten message.
Award them a gift card, an extra day of annual leave, or another prize.
Give them a kudos trophy (a trophy that gets awarded to someone deserving each week).
Give them, and their hardworking team, a free lunch.
Recognize their achievements, efforts, and character in a company awards ceremony.
Put them on your company’s wall of kudos (a wall where, each week, you surprise one of your team with their photo and a note of recognition).
Give them a raise or a promotion.
What are the benefits of kudos?
Giving people kudos might seem simple and ordinary, but it can have a significant impact on your company.
After all, recognition is known to be a top driver of employee engagement.
Along with engagement, a recognition programme’s benefits include:
An average of 27 percent higher profits
Greater retention rates with 31 percent less voluntary turnover
Increased company loyalty
A positive environment that attracts talented professionals as new hires
Increased employee satisfaction
Improved productivity
A healthy company culture
Confidence that drives more innovation and new ideas from teams
What impact does kudos have on company culture?
Companies can gain a lot from ensuring kudos-giving is an established practice in the workplace. It has the potential to completely transform company culture.
But to have the greatest impact, kudos needs to be given by everyone in the company: from the CEO and management teams right through to the most junior professionals.
When people give kudos to each other, regardless of position or seniority, it creates a positive and healthy work culture. A culture that promotes wellbeing and helps professionals to perform at their best.
A kudos-filled workplace elevates the employee experience. People are not only more productive, engaged, and satisfied, but also inspire each other to pursue excellence and help the company grow.
Just a simple act of appreciation or recognitionon an ongoing basis can transform an entire company for the better.

【HR术语】什么是租赁员工？（What are leased employees?）
什么是租赁员工？
租赁员工是指从人事代理公司领取报酬，为接收公司工作的人员。接收公司一般会聘用租赁员工来完成临时职位或特定项目。
谁是租赁员工的雇主？
雇用租赁员工并为其提供工资和福利的通常是租赁代理公司，而不是接收公司。租赁机构通常会雇用技术人才为接收公司工作，这些行业包括：
医疗保健
金融业
咨询
房地产
法律
员工租赁与共同雇佣
在雇员租赁中，人事代理公司为您的企业提供人员并管理其人力资源行政工作。共同雇佣，也称为 PEO（专业雇佣组织），意味着合作雇佣。例如，PEO 可以处理人力资源行政工作，而贵公司则负责招聘和录用。
根据共同雇佣协议，公司可以以不同的方式分担责任。然而，更令人困惑的是，由于共同雇佣是从雇员租赁演变而来的，因此在美国的一些州，雇员租赁和共同雇佣这两个词被交替使用。
何时应使用雇员租赁？
无论大公司还是小公司，在需要季节性招聘、处理特定项目或缺乏适当的招聘和管理工作资源时，都可以依靠租赁员工。
人力资源领导为什么要关注租赁员工？
员工租赁使公司能够更快地招聘和雇佣员工，从而提高生产力和效率。人才中介公司可以接触到许多合格的人才，并拥有安置这些人才的专业知识，他们可以将有技能的个人与空缺职位相匹配，同时承担人力资源行政负担。
租赁员工的好处
使用优质租赁公司可以：
缩短填补空缺的时间
简化并改进招聘和录用工作
临时提供高绩效工作
人力资源领导者如何才能将租赁员工成功纳入团队？
为您和您的员工提供顺利的员工租赁体验：
评估公司需求。进行需求评估，确定您希望租赁员工履行的职责和职位，以及您需要中介机构承担的行政工作。
遵守法律。员工租赁法律非常复杂。聘请就业律师有助于确保遵守州和联邦法律。
做好调查。为确保您与一流的租赁公司合作，请确保该公司信誉良好并持有执照。
确保员工了解相关政策。除了实施有效的入职流程外，还应在租赁员工手册中加入一个章节，解释他们和你在福利、薪资、退休、公司文化和适当的工作场所行为等方面的义务。
一视同仁。为了让租赁员工感到自己受到重视并成为团队的一员，应通过与他们建立关系、满足他们的需求并为他们提供公平的工作条件，对他们一视同仁。
为什么租赁员工应成为现代人力资源战略的一部分？
将租赁员工纳入人力资源战略有助于提高灵活性--这是当今多变的工作世界所必须的。将租赁员工无缝纳入整个组织的团队中，即使在工作场所趋势和业务需求不断变化的情况下，人力资源部门和公司也能保持生产力。
以下为文章原文：
What are leased employees?
Leased employees are people who receive compensation from a staffing agency to perform work for a recipient company. Recipient companies generally bring in leased employees to fulfill a temporary position or complete a specific project.
Who is the employer of a leased employee?
Leasing agencies, not recipient companies, typically employ leased employees and provide them with salaries and benefits. Leasing agencies often hire skilled people to work for recipient companies in industries such as
Health care
Finance
Consultancy
Real Estate
Law
Employee leasing vs. co-employment
In employee leasing, a staffing agency provides your business with people and manages their HR admin work. Co-employment, also known as PEO (Professional Employment Organization), implies collaborative employment. For example, PEOs may handle HR admin while your company manages recruitment and hiring.
Depending on the co-employment agreement, companies can split the responsibilities differently. However, to make things more confusing, because co-employment has evolved from employee leasing, in some US states, the terms employee leasing and co-employment are used interchangeably.
When should employee leasing be used?
Large and small companies can rely on leased employees when they need to hire seasonally, handle specific projects, or lack the resources for proper recruitment and admin work.
Why should HR leaders care about leased employees?
Employee leasing enables companies to recruit and hire faster for increased productivity and efficiency. With access to many qualified people and expertise in placing them, staffing agencies can match skilled individuals with vacant positions while shouldering the HR admin burden.
Benefits of leased employees
Using a quality leasing company can:
Improve time to fill
Streamline and improve recruitment and hiring
Offer high-performance work for a temporary period
What can HR leaders do to incorporate leased employees into their teams successfully?
To facilitate a smooth employee leasing experience for you and your people:
Evaluate company needs. Conduct a needs assessment to determine the duties and positions you want the leased employees to fulfill and the admin work you need the agency to take care of.
Comply with the laws. Employee leasing laws are complex. Hiring an employment lawyer can help guarantee compliance with state and federal laws.
Do your research. To ensure you collaborate with a top-of-the-line leasing firm, make sure it’s reputable and licensed.
Ensure employees know the policies. In addition to running an effective onboarding process, include a section in the employee handbook for leased employees that explains their and your obligations regarding benefits, payroll, retirement, company culture, and proper workplace conduct.
Treat everyone equally. To help leased employees feel valued and part of the team, treat them the same as everyone else by building a relationship with them, addressing their needs, and providing them with fair work conditions.
Why should leased employees be part of the modern HR strategy?
Including leased employees in the HR strategy contributes to agility–a must in today’s dynamic world of work. The ability to seamlessly include leased employees in teams throughout the organization enables HR and the company to maintain productivity, even amidst fluctuating workplace trends and business needs.

【HR术语】什么是员工健康（What is employee wellbeing?）
什么是员工健康？
员工幸福感是指专业人员在心理、情感和身体健康方面的综合状态。根据盖洛普研究人员的研究，员工幸福感包括五个核心组成部分：
职业幸福感。人们对工作职责的满意度，以及他们每天在工作中花费时间的方式。
社会福祉。与朋友和家人建立健康、有意义的关系。
财务健康。能够成功管理个人财务。
身体健康。有健康的体魄和充沛的精力来维持基本功能和完成任务。
社区幸福。与他人建立联系，对所居住的地方有归属感。
人力资源领导为什么要关注员工福利？
作为公司最宝贵的资产--员工的监护人，人力资源部门应优先考虑员工的福祉。
幸福超越了健康。它表明员工在个人生活和工作中全面发展、发挥最佳功能并实现自身潜能。
员工健康和幸福有哪些优势？
身心健康可以增强心理耐力、情商和应变能力--这是提高生产力、创造力和效率所必需的三项软技能。
因此，员工身心健康是高绩效工作、蓬勃发展的员工队伍和成功企业的基石。
员工身心健康在很大程度上有助于：
实现目标
承担风险
为出现的挑战找到实用、明智的解决方案
减少缺勤
提高员工留任率和参与度
减少医疗开支
蓬勃发展的企业文化
人力资源领导者如何促进员工福利？
如果您想把员工的健康放在首位，就应将其作为公司文化的一部分。虽然每个人都必须关注自己的健康，但人力资源部门可以通过强调健康是一种工作价值来鼓励员工的健康。以下是将健康融入公司工作方式的三种方法：
平衡工作与娱乐。虽然保持工作流程是提高生产力的必要条件，但人不是机器人。要有精力工作，就必须有时间娱乐。组织员工徒步旅行或公园野餐等促进情绪、社区建设和社交聚会，让员工有机会充电和重新建立联系。
培养感恩之心。人力资源领导者可以通过表彰和感谢员工的辛勤工作和取得的成就来鼓励员工之间的友情和有意义的工作经历。表达谢意可为工作社区注入良好的氛围和意义。
鼓励正念。正念为明智的决策、高质量的工作、更好的沟通和发散思维奠定了基础。养成正念的习惯有助于人们调节情绪和思想。团队可以在开会前通过集体呼吸练习或冥想来练习正念。为了在个人层面上支持正念，公司可以指定一个房间或花园作为无技术区，让人们有安静、不受干扰的独处时间。
制定有效的员工福利计划和措施有哪些技巧？
虽然整合一个通用的健康计划可能很诱人，但还是要尽量考虑贵公司的具体需求。您可以通过以下方式做到这一点：
确定问题所在。这些问题可能包括职业倦怠、缺乏目标和动力以及工作与生活失衡。
评估影响福利的主要障碍。也许是管理不善、工作量过重，或者是工作场所的价值观不一致，阻碍了员工实现身心健康。
评估员工幸福感低的代价。缺乏幸福感会如何影响生产力和底线？
规划福利计划。贵公司目前正在采取哪些行动来促进员工身心健康，这些措施与内部和外部基准相比有何不同？
实施量身定制的健康计划。健康计划应为员工提供切实可行、量身定制的解决方案，应对他们面临的挑战和不同的人生阶段。例如，该计划可包括员工援助计划（EAP）、辅导和导师机会或个人财务咨询机会。
如何有效衡量员工福利？
幸福是综合的，因此您需要收集幸福拼图的所有部分，才能看到完整的画面。让我们来看看一些评估和衡量幸福感的方法：
通过脉搏调查收集反馈。通过提出正确的问题，人力资源部门可以了解团队成员的健康状况。与某一具体问题相关的问题，如果能让员工对自己的感受进行评分，就能提供有用的答案。开放式问题也能提供见解，但要确保有时间和资源来阅读和处理每个答案。调查可以包括涉及薪酬、参与度、归属感、工作量和职业目标等主题的问题。
跟踪员工数据。虽然数据不能反映一个人的内心挣扎，但它可以说明面临的挑战，如高缺勤率或低生产率--潜在潜在问题的迹象。
简短的检查。人力资源部门或经理可以定期与专业人士会面。无论是当面交谈还是通过视频聊天，都能提供调查和数据无法显示的反馈信息。
员工福利如何改善公司文化？
欣欣向荣的员工构成了欣欣向荣的企业文化。当整体的每个部分--每个人--都处于健康状态时，他们就能高效地工作，与团队成员有效合作，并为积极而充满活力的企业文化做出贡献。
以下为文章原文：
What is employee wellbeing?
Employee wellbeing refers to a professional’s holistic state of mental, emotional, and physical health. According to Gallup researchers, employee wellbeing includes five core components:
Career wellbeing. The satisfaction people feel with work responsibilities and how they spend their time at work every day.
Social wellbeing. Engaging in healthy, meaningful relationships with friends and family.
Financial wellbeing. Being able to manage personal finances successfully.
Physical wellbeing. Having health and energy for basic functioning and accomplishing tasks.
Community wellbeing. Having a connection with others and feeling a sense of belonging in the place you live.
Why should HR leaders care about employee wellbeing?
As guardians of a company’s most valuable asset—its people—employee wellbeing should be a priority for HR.
Wellbeing goes beyond health. It indicates that people are thriving holistically, functioning optimally, and actualizing their potential in their personal lives and at work.
What are the advantages of employee health and wellbeing?
Wellbeing can support mental stamina, emotional intelligence, and resilience—three soft skills necessary for productivity, creativity, and efficiency.
Thus, employee wellbeing is the bedrock of high-performance work, a thriving workforce, and a successful business.
Employee wellbeing largely contributes to:
Goal achievement
Risk taking
Finding practical, intelligent solutions to challenges that arise
Decreased absenteeism
Increased retention and engagement
Reduced healthcare expenses
A thriving company culture
What can HR leaders do to promote employee wellbeing?
If you want to make your people’s wellbeing a priority, make it part of your company culture. While everyone must take care of their health, HR can encourage wellbeing by emphasizing it as a work value. Here are three ways to infuse wellbeing into your company’s approach to work:
Balance work with play. While maintaining workflow is necessary for productivity, people aren’t robots. To have energy for work, there must be time for play. Organizing mood-boosting, community-building, and social gatherings, such as staff hikes or park picnics, gives people a chance to recharge and reconnect.
Cultivate gratitude. HR leaders can encourage camaraderie and meaningful work experiences by recognizing and thanking people for their hard work and accomplishments. Communicating appreciation infuses good vibes and meaning into the work community.
Encourage mindfulness. Mindfulness sets the foundation for smart decision-making, high-quality work, better communication, and thinking outside the box. Making mindfulness a habit helps people regulate their emotions and thoughts. Teams can practice mindfulness through group breathing exercises or meditations before conducting a meeting. To support mindfulness on an individual level, companies can designate a room or garden as a tech-free zone for people to have quiet, uninterrupted alone time.
What are some tips for building effective employee wellbeing programs and initiatives?
While it may be tempting to integrate a generic wellness program, try to consider your company’s specific needs. You can do so by:
Identifying the problem areas. These may include burnout, lack of purpose and drive, and work-life imbalance.
Evaluating the major barriers to wellbeing. Perhaps there is poor management, too heavy a workload, or a misalignment of workplace values preventing people from achieving a state of wellbeing.
Assessing the cost of low employee wellbeing. How does a lack of wellbeing affect productivity and the bottom line?
Planning a wellbeing program. What actions is your company currently taking to promote wellbeing, and how do these initiatives compare with internal and external benchmarks?
Implementing a customized wellness program. The wellness program should provide practical, tailored solutions for staff, addressing their challenges and different life stages. The program could include, for example, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), coaching and mentorship opportunities, or personal financial advising opportunities.
How can you effectively measure employee wellbeing?
Wellbeing is integrative, so you’ll need to gather all pieces of the wellbeing puzzle to see the complete picture. Let’s look at some ways to assess and measure wellbeing:
Gather feedback through pulse surveys. By asking the right questions, HR can narrow in on team members’ state of wellbeing. Questions that relate to one specific issue and give people the option to rate how they’re feeling on a scale can provide helpful answers. Open-ended questions can also offer insightl, but make sure you have the time and resources to read and address each answer. Surveys can include questions that touch on topics such as compensation, engagement, belonging, workload, and career goals.
Keep track of workforce data. While data doesn’t reflect a person’s internal struggles, it can illustrate challenges such as a high rate of absenteeism or low productivity— signs of a potential underlying issue.
Brief check-ins. HR or managers can routinely meet with professionals. Getting together to talk, whether in person or through video chats, can provide feedback that may not have been apparent through surveys and data.
How can employee wellbeing improve company culture?
Thriving people make up a thriving company culture. When each part of the whole—each person—is in a state of wellbeing, they can work productively, collaborate effectively with team members, and contribute to a positive and vibrant culture.
