What HR policies would you like to see banished forever? To find out HR magazine and BrightHR gathered a group of top HR professionals in Manchester, and asked them which policies they would consign to HR Room 101.
We will be sharing videos from the event every week, and asking you which policies you would like to see binned.
Derek Wright, head of HR at Advanced Supply Chain, thought complicated pay and benefits systems that change as tenure increases should be scrapped. "You have to upgrade everyone or downgrade everyone," he said. "You can't justify anything else in an egalitarian organisation."
Jo Radcliffe, group HR director at The Regatta Group, wanted to get rid of bell curve rankings. "If you use that system 85% of your staff need to be less than excellent. Even worse – you have to rate 15% as poor. It is a surefire way to design mediocrity and misery into your teams," she said.
