Mindfulness, values, play, and other themes from the inaugural WorkHuman Summit. By Tim Leberecht. It was about time. As Derek Irvine, Vice President, Client Strategy and Consulting at  Globoforce , pointed out in a quick historical office tour stretching from the Ancient Greeks to the knowledge age, we have “2,000 years of experience in removing humanity from the workplace.” How open, how closed?

The changing workplace isn’t the office of your parents anymore. Three-piece suits ever so neatly accessorized with the perfect tie and skirt suits coupled with the perfect pair of pumps aren’t staples of most work wardrobes anymore. The ideal employee isn’t a “yes man,” they are the team members that question convention and even (wisely) challenge the opinions of their supervisors. The way we think of work and the traditions that go along with it are changing with a digital separation of work and life and how employees are motivated to perform their best. Workplace

We all have heard the statement, “garbage in – garbage out.” This is especially important when working with data and analytics, and extracting data as databases have become much easier to use.

HR Ringleader

A question that I’ve wrestled with as a HR practitioner over the years, and one I am often asked about now, is what is the value of performance reviews.  It’s been something that employees and managers dread in most organizations I’ve worked with.  For many, the review never even happens and the employee is blindsided if things go south.  Many factors lead to lack of objectivity.

Work can feel like a mad scramble sometimes. The priority list.the projects.the endless stream of 'important' email.lots of meetings.and don't let me forget the tremendous weight of the pressure from our personal lives that can push us to the brink. One could easily get caught up in their own drama and fall hopelessly behind on every front. Don't tell anyone, but that happens to me once in a while.

A long time ago, when I worked as a comedian, other comics would tell me their goals. One guy wanted to perform on David Letterman; he worked toward nothing else. When he finally landed on the show, he had no idea what to do next: He hadn’t mapped out a more comprehensive future. What most people call a goal is really a milestone; they’re not mapping out a “finish line” or endgame. Use them.

Beginning July 1, 2015, California employers will be required to begin providing paid sick leave benefits to their eligible employees. We often hear the question:  Do I need a written paid sick leave policy that I hand out to employees? With all the complexities of this new law, the answer is “yes.”. written policy allows you to specifically describe and clearly communicate your company’s approach to providing the mandatory benefit. written policy is also required if you place any limits on paid sick leave that are allowed within the law, such as a cap on accrual. hours accrued per year.
