If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? If work is done away from the office, does it still count? The answer to both, of course, is yes — and corporate America is taking notice. By 2016, Forrester expects 43% of Americans will work remotely. That’s 63 million people who can work literally anywhere. Like it or not, the face of the workplace is changing. How can remote work do all this?

A few weeks ago, our company held its annual strategic planning session. In a meeting of our executive team, a consultant we work with shared an insight that I want to pass along. What did he say that I found so profound? He told us that successful leaders “make it clear which behaviors are most valued by the organization.”.

With the explosion of Christmas decorations that seemed to happen before the last of the trick-or-treaters returned home, it is hard to remember that there is another major U.S. holiday between now and December 25. What I like most about Thanksgiving is that it is one of the only holidays that is not consumed with demonstrating our love for others by buying more and more each year. Instead, Thanksgiving is a day that revolves around sharing a meal and being thankful for friends and family. As such, this is a good time of year to remember to be thankful for your employees. Simply Say Thanks.

With all the focus on sourcing, the candidate experience, mobile access and employer branding, the hiring manager experience can be a low priority within organizations.   Why is the hiring manager experience something that warrants attention and cultivating? Simply, the hiring manager plays a pivotal role in the talent acquisition process. The decision to hire usually rests with them, so ensuring they have all the needed information and technology-enabled tools at their disposal is a start in the right direction.
