Icebreakers can be the best way to begin your HR meetings. If done right and appropriately of course.
The key with icebreakers however is to know who your audience is and to choose an icebreaker that works for that group. Humor does not have to be a stand-up comedy routine, but can merely be an introduction to your meeting. Don’t force the humor, be natural, and tell a real story that is relevant to the meeting topic.
The meetings that we have attended recently have typically been engaging meetings with the management team reviewing HR Software or Human Resource Management systems. Obviously these were either HR implementation or HRIS HRMS demonstrations. Humor does not work in these cases, but telling a story of the harried HR executive before they implemented an HRIS system is often the best way to paint the picture of why you need an HRMS Solutions.
