What’s one employee perk that’s overrated?
My thoughts? Fancy office amenities that don’t address actual employee needs.

Office games and fancy coffee machines. They are nice, but they do not make up for poor leadership, heavy workloads, or lack of flexibility.

Agreed. When we got our high-end "barista" machines, that did everything but run payroll, someone typed up directions and taped them to the countertop! I didn't use the machine often but when I did, I would wave down anyone to help me!

I strongly believe new hire onboarding should not sit in the HR/People Operations space but should sit in the HR Coordinator/HR Generalist space. As a new hire, they should be able to have a confirmed point of contact especially during their first 90 days and People Ops should not be that point of contact unless there’s system or access issues.

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.
