Nearly 2 million people in the United States work in a job related to electric power generation or fuels according to the U.S Department of Energy.

Organizations decide they’re going to change all the time. Especially during times like we’re experiencing today, when recruiting is tough, engagement is a challenge, and retention is a top priority. It’s not unusual for an organization to say, “We need to change so we can get the best talent and crush the competition.” But organizational change doesn’t happen just because: Something goes offline, like a system.

I was in a meeting recently where someone commented that HR pros don’t know project management. And I thought, really? Managing projects is one of the largest responsibilities we have in human resources. It could be a small project like organizing an employee event or a large scale project such as implementing a new software solution. Regardless of size, projects are an important part of what we do.

An employee who spends more time in the office isn’t necessarily a more productive employee. “The State of American Vacation 2017” report—a survey of over 7,000 American workers—found that 38% of employees want to be seen as a “work martyr”, someone who sacrifices time-off to put in more hours at the office. This mindset is part of the reason that the majority of employees, 54%, end the year with unused vacation time. 54% of employees end the year with unused vacation time.

Employee feedback should be simple. Just speak with your employees, right? Not exactly. Most managers are afraid to communicate with employees and for good reason. Research shows that feedback interventions can often backfire and more than one-third of feedback conversations actually decrease performance. As a manager, giving feedback is something you will probably do as the most frequent part of any continuous performance management process.

I don’t know about you, but I have some plans for the future. However, sometimes simply writing down goals isn’t enough. I want to see more than the words. I want to see the future. Vision boards can be a good way to do that. They are a tool used to help clarify, concentrate, and maintain focus on a specific life goal. Literally, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to be, do, or have in your life.

A coach coaches in real-time during a game, reacting to their team’s performance and providing in-the-moment guidance to help the players improve and the team win. The coach doesn’t wait until the end of the season to start coaching. The same principle applies to performance reviews. The traditional method of performance management – waiting until the end of the year, or doing biannual reviews, simply doesn’t work.

Top-performing companies understand just how critical the workplace culture is to their success, so they’re intentional and systematic about how they create, drive, and describe their cultures. They know that culture is the “enabler”—or the “hobbler”—for new strategic plans and directions. The companies with the highest-performing teams and most robust bottom lines make accountability the centerpiece of their culture.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

From the Concern Resilience Library In popular culture, the term “muscle head” gets applied to people who seem to be more about the physical than the mental. As if lifting heavy objects and doing heavy thinking had to be mutually exclusive. It may be time to rethink that label as science is continually connecting more and more dots between physical exercise and increased brain function.

“Put your head down, work hard, and you’ll be promoted.” Odds are, if you’re a woman, you’ve heard this oft-repeated aphorism about how to get ahead in the workplace.

Yet the rise of #MeToo movement this fall has made clear what women have long suspected (or, in many cases, known): workplace success is tied not only to what we do, but to who we are.
