Top 10 Areas to Review in 2025 to Strengthen Your Team

It’s 2025, and it’s time to make sure your house is in order.

This checklist will guide you through the top 10 areas you should review, including the complete employee life cycle, to get the very best out of your team and make 2025 a successful year.

1. Legal compliance

This is at the top of the checklist for good reason. Staying compliant and handling situations legally will help to avoid costly fines and legal issues.

2. Leverage HR technology

HR technology can help you to manage your people and save costs in many different ways. At Edelweiss HR, we have a selected a partner with whom we work to provide an efficient and easy to use platform.

3. Attraction: Attract the best people

Your people are your greatest business asset.  Creating a strong employer brand that highlights your culture, mission and benefits is essential.

4. Recruitment: Find the best people

A solid recruitment process ensures you find the right person and stay legally compliant.

5. Onboarding: Give your new employees the best experience

First impressions matter, and the first few weeks are crucial to your new employee’s engagement and success. That’s why you need to have a great onboarding process.

6. Retention: Keeping your team happy

Keeping your best people is just as important as hiring them, and that’s why you need to create a positive working environment and keep an eye on your culture and performance management.

7. Development: Investing in your team’s performance

Investing in your team’s performance helps in many ways and is crucial to employee retention. For example, you could provide tailored development plans that align with individual career goals and company needs.

8. Offboarding: Saying goodbye in the right way

Offboarding is as important as onboarding. When employees leave, you want to ensure your team isn’t left to pick up the pieces. That’s why you need an efficient offboarding process, including exit interviews.

9. Happy Leavers

The goal for all employees is to feel valued and respected by the company. So, when they do leave, they part on good terms and can be a great advocate for your company in the future. 

10. Work with an independent HR Consultant

Working with an independent HR consultant will help you to get the best out of your team and business this year.
